Food 班第一次.

question

Mr. Cheung Cheuk Kin commented Food 班第一次 was a

tradition of the Society but he personally thought that the

impacts of the program were more than its meaning.

Question Mr. Ho Wai Kin asked what was the explanation of the

cancellation of Food 班第一次 to OCs and past Executive

Committee.

education system and structure, people focused less on

Food 班第一次. She stated therefore the Executive Committee

thought the negative impacts caused by Food 班第一次 were

more than its meaning.

of Executive Committee, they cared more about image of the

Society and the interest of freshmen.

Comment Mr. Wang Wai Chun commented there were only a few

supporters of Food 班第一次 among Year 2 Members but

hoped the proposed Executive Committee could care more

about the opinion of other Members besides that of their own

year.

suspended in the morning of the second day of Mock

Campaign.

Answer Mr. Koo Chun Yin answered the aim of Mock Campaign is to

Follow-up

question

Miss Kam Hing Lam asked what they did during the

suspension of standing order.

Answer Mr. Chan Tung Ho answered the proposed Executive

Committee had confusion of some concepts and they thought

that helping the proposed Executive Committee to clear their

confusion was more important than resuming the standing

order.

Follow-up

question

Mr. Ho Wai Kin asked why they did not suspend the standing

order longer if there were advantages of the suspension.

Answer Mr. Koo Chun Yin answered suspending standing order was

not better than having standing order but it was a chance for

the proposed Executive Committee to clear their

misconception.

Comment Mr. Lui Bing Chun commented that it was inappropriate to

talk about an unofficial event in an official Annual General

Meeting.

Mr. Cheung Cheuk Kin commented the efficiency of the

be an official event as the Society name was used.

Committee should check the equipment in the room

beforehand and they should choose the song list earlier.

of the event and hoped that the proposed Executive

Committee could put more effort in social events.

travels which hindered the schedule.

as more Members were involved.
