Pro-Beijing Ng critical of Exco convener’s HKTV remarks
Former deputy to the National People’s Congress Ng Hon-mun says it would “not be very good” for Lam Woon-kwong to voice opinions on HKTV saga
A pro-Beijing political figure on Thursday criticised Executive Council convener Lam Woon-kwong for “saying a little too much” about the television licence saga.
Ng Hon-mun, a former deputy to the National People’s Congress, said Lam, as convener of the chief executive’s top advisory body, should follow the government’s mind.
If Lam’s view was at odds with the administration, it would “not be very good” for him to speak out openly, Ng said after a lunch on Thursday.
Lam on Sunday urged Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying to thoroughly review the process that led to the decision to reject Hong Kong Television Network’s application for a free-to-air licence.
There was a large gap between the Executive Council’s decision and public expectations, he said.
