The year of the pig is a time for us to look ahead, and in the new year, our nation will turn a new chapter.
Last year, we elected the new Members of Parliament and welcomed a united, strong and certain coalition government. This government will deliver on the peoples' will and aspiration on the political reform.
The political reform deal is still negotiating, and the government is optimistic to have a deal that benefits the long term interests of this country. It will be a deal that secures the political stability of our country; it will be a deal that acknowledges peoples’ voices, and it will be a deal that makes sure no one will be left behind.
In the next few weeks, MPs will have a heated debate and a critical decision to make. Our social organisation groups do have a say in this political reform deal. We want to hear your opinion; we care about your suggestions. The new eligibility of voters, the method for forming the upper house, and the electoral method of the next term of parliament will be publicly consulted.
The result of the last General Election was divisive; it shows that people want change. People yearn for a fair, just and open election, and we will deliver on it.
Making such a big reform, we cannot do it without your support. We need your mandate, we need your support, and we need your helping hand. We all want the best for our country. In the year of the pig can be the year we put differences aside, and move forward together.
If we come together in the year of the pig, we can make a success of what lies ahead, and together build a Wongming that belongs to every one of us.
Let me wish you a very happy new year and a prosperous and auspicious year of the pig.
Man Sze KEE
Deputy Prime Minister and the Governor of Heng Tang
