曾倡「五大訴求」陶皜訊重提19年區選：參選須民主認證，大敗因當年天真無知
The reformed District Council election has entered its final stage. Ho Shun To, representing the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong in Tin Shui Wai North, was earlier revealed to have contested Fairview Park North in Yuen Long District as a political novice in 2019. His campaign leaflet included wording such as “the five demands, not one less”. He told InMedia that the District Councils had become overly populist in the past and that he believed the vast majority of citizens did not agree with this. He also said that candidates in that election had placed emphasis on “democratic endorsement”, and that his landslide defeat was ultimately because “I was naive and ignorant”. He also said Hong Kong’s young people need to be of a certain quality, and discussed how to assess who genuinely benefits the community: “Don’t talk so much. There’s no need to say this person is militant, this one is rational and non-violent, this one is pro-establishment, this one is pan-democratic, and this one has democratic endorsement. Are we really looking at these things?”
改制後的區議會選舉進入最後階段，代表經民聯出戰天水圍北的陶皜訊早前被揭發，2019年曾以素人身份出戰元朗區的「嘉湖北」，宣傳單張更寫有「五大訴求、缺一不可」等字句。他向《獨媒》表示，過去區議會過份民粹化，相信大絕大部分市民不認同，又指當年參選講求「民主認證」，最終大敗是因為「我天真亦都係無知啦」。他又認社香港年青人要有質素，分析哪一個人對真的社區好：「唔好講咁多，唔需要講話呢個係勇武、呢個和理非、呢個建制、呢個泛民，呢個有民主認證，我哋係咪睇呢啲嘢？」

The District Council election held after the electoral overhaul has entered its final stage. Ho Shun To, who is contesting Tin Shui Wai North on behalf of the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong, was earlier revealed to have run as an independent candidate in the 2019 Yuen Long District Council election for Fairview Park North. His campaign leaflet included the words “Five demands, not one less”. He told The Independent Media that the District Councils had become excessively populist in the past, which he believed the overwhelming majority of residents did not support. He also said that candidates at the time were judged by their “democratic certification”, and that his heavy defeat was because “I was naive and also ignorant”. He added that Hong Kong’s young people needed to have quality, and discussed how to assess which candidates genuinely served the community: “Let’s not talk so much about whether this person is militant, this one peaceful, rational and non-violent, this one pro-establishment, this one pan-democratic, or this one has democratic certification. Should we be looking at these things?”

2019年區選自稱獨立素人提「五大訴求」 今代表經民聯獲確認提名有效
In the “improved” District Council election, constituencies were redrawn and a requirement was added for candidates to be nominated by members of "the three committees". The pro-democracy camp consequently had zero candidates, while various officials had said that it would take time for them to “turn over a new leaf”. In the Tin Shui Wai North constituency, To Ho-shun, who is representing the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong this term, took part in the 2019 District Council election. His leaflet put forward the slogan “Five demands, not one less” and stated that he would “fight to kick out the establishment and refuse to back parachuted candidates”. His nomination was also confirmed as valid. To said last night that he had found his way back, and acknowledged his past mistakes and failures. The Independent Media previously called Ho Shun To for comment, but the call was answered by his assistant, who said the message would be passed on to To. No response had been received before publication.
「完善」區議會選舉後，除改劃選區外，又增設需「三會」成員提名，民主派因而在候選人「清零」，不同官員曾稱需時其「改其自新」。不過在天水圍北選區，今屆代表經民聯的陶皓訊，曾參與2019年區議會選舉，單張提出「五大訴求，缺一不可」的口號，表明要「力踢建制，拒撐空降」，其參選資格同獲確認。陶皓訊昨晚稱自己已迷途知返，並承認過去錯誤及失敗。《獨媒》曾致電陶皜訊查詢，不過電話由其助手接聽，稱會向陶轉達，在報道刊出前未獲回覆。
