Dear IT Voter,
First of all, I would like to express my greatest gratitude for your support throughout the election.
The result shows that I have received 49.65% of the votes. This means it is important for me to continue to voice the concerns and beliefs of our industry. In the days to come, I will continue to serve the ICT sector and for the true interests of ICT professionals and employees, protect information freedom, monitor the government and the Legco, and fight for true democracy for Hong Kong.
Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all IT voters.

The election is entering the final two weeks. I go to at least two locations a day at least – in person – to distribute leaflets and meet voters, plus more visits to companies and organizations. There are also many election forums organized by the media and industry groups. However, I am a lonely attendee for several of these forums, including one by Commercial Radio, one held by information security professionals, and another one organized by several trade associations. If one exhibits such favoritism and cronyism behavior even before being elected, what will happen if he has to face controversial matters in Legco? Where will he be?
We often say that truth comes out from more debates. But would a lie become true, the more one says it? Many misleading statements were made about me in these forums. I was accused to be wavering on my democratic stance, by someone with zero communications with the pan-democratic camp – despite the fact that I was supported by the major pan-democratic parties as well as Mrs Anson Chan. He also criticized that there was nothing new in our “new professional core values” -- to that I had no choice but to say that we had to re-emphasize these values because of “political chameleons” like his good self.
The following are online links to the media forums. Please do not miss them, as you can see and hear the differences. Please also look at the smearing that was applied on me, as I really have nothing to hide.
Slogans are after all just slogans, even after one repeats it a hundred times. Should we do it, can we do it, these are the more important questions to ponder. So, comparing the slogans is not the point. Compare us as persons!
