Three honorary chairmen quit Liberal Party, condemning unilateral withdrawal of titles as offensive and disappointing
自由黨中委會昨日傍晚一致通過取消榮譽主席職銜，會議前數小時其中3名元老榮譽主席田北俊、周梁淑怡和劉健儀宣布退黨，以示不滿黨領導層未向他們諮詢及解釋下決定取消榮譽主席職銜。其中周梁淑怡去信黨主席邵家輝，稱感被嚴重冒犯，批評今次做法「絕對稱不上有情有義」。自由黨會後發聲明稱有意見認為要檢討榮譽主席安排，但聲明未有交代原因；黨魁張宇人亦未正面回應有關原因，但強調不是針對任何人。
The Liberal Party’s Executive Committee unanimously approved the cancellation of the honorary chairmanships yesterday evening. Hours before the meeting, three veteran honorary chairmen—James Tien, Selina Chow Liang Shuk-yee and Miriam Lau Kin-yee—announced their withdrawal from the party to express dissatisfaction that the party leadership had decided to cancel the titles without consulting or explaining the decision to them. Chow wrote to party chairman Peter Shiu Ka-fai, saying she felt seriously offended and criticising the move as “absolutely not befitting of people who value loyalty and affection”. A party statement after the meeting said some had suggested reviewing the honorary chairmanship arrangements, but did not explain the reasons. Party leader Tommy Cheung Yu-yan also did not directly respond to questions about the reasons, but stressed that the decision was not aimed at anyone.
