Hong Kong Extradition Bill Legislation suspended | Chief Executive Presser | News Update HONG KONG CHIEF EXECUTIVE, CARRIE LAM, SAYING:
"The original urgency to pass the bill in this legislative year, is perhaps, no longer there. After a repeated internal deliberation over the last two days, I now announce, that the government has decided to suspend the legislative-amendment exercise. We start our communication with all sectors of society, do more explanation work and listen to different views of society. I want to stress that the government is adopting an open mind to heed comprehensively different views in society towards the bill. The secretary for security will send a letter to the legislative council president to withdraw the resumption of the second reading debate on the bill. In other words, the council, will hold its work in relation to the bill, until our work in communication, explanation and listening to opinions is completed. We have no intention to set a deadline for this work. And promise to report to, and consult members of the legislative council panel on security, before we decide on the next step forward."
