Frustrated Hong Kong NPC rep Lee to quit
AP AND AFP , HONG KONG
Thursday, May 20, 2004,Page 5

A Hong Kong delegate to China's legislature said yesterday he would quit his post because he could not effectively lobby for the territory's interests in Beijing.

Allen Lee (???), a member of the National People's Congress (NPC), said he felt frustrated that he couldn't move the lawmaking body to improve its transparency or establish an office in Hong Kong to handle complaints.

"I don't have the heart to continue with my work as an NPC delegate," Lee said on the radio show Teacup in the Storm. "I can't achieve the things citizens want me to."

Lee is a former lawmaker and former chairman of the pro-government Liberal Party.

I think Jackie 'Whore' Chan or Mikie 'Whore' Chinoy should take up this position since they already represent Communist interests.
