新思維晚宴官員無到 狄志遠：無話代表咩
Third Side held a fundraising dinner last night at a restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui to mark its 10th anniversary. The dinner, its second after the previous one two years ago, had 20 tables and raised nearly HK$500,000. As with the previous dinner, no officials attended this year. Lam Chun-sing of the Federation of Hong Kong and Kowloon Labour Unions was the only member of a pro-establishment party in the current Legislative Council to attend, while Shih Wing-ching, chairman of Centaline Group, attended on behalf of the business sector. Third Side chairman Tik Chi-yuen stressed that the party had good relations with the government and pro-establishment camp, saying, “A dinner doesn’t equal everything … it doesn’t mean anything whether they come or not.”
Tik said the Chief Executive and all bureau secretaries and directors had been invited. He said the absence of officials did not mean that the party had little chance of being allowed to enter the race in this year’s Legislative Council election. As for the pro-establishment parties, a Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong lawmaker attended the dinner two years ago, but none attended this time. Lam So-wai, a lawmaker for New Territories South East, pulled out at the last minute.
新思維成立10周年，繼前年之後再辦籌款晚宴，噚晚喺尖沙嘴嘅酒樓筵開20席，籌得近50萬元。今年晚宴同前年一樣無官員出席，現屆立法會建制黨派只得勞聯林振昇現身，商界就有中原集團主席施永青出席。新思維主席狄志遠強調跟政府及建制派關係良好，「晚宴唔等於一切……無話嚟代表咩，唔嚟又代表咩」。
阿狄話邀請咗特首同所有司局長等，最終無官員現身，佢認為唔代表年底立法會選舉「入閘」機會微。至於建制黨派，前年民建聯有議員出席，今次就無。新界東南議員林素蔚就臨時甩底。

Asked about the number of nominations it had received from members of "the three committees", vice-chairman Chun Long Wong said, “We won’t say much about the number, but there is indeed still some distance to go.” He stressed that the group had received nominations and verbal commitments from members of "the three committees".

新思維籌款晚宴兩應邀官員「甩底」 何俊賢送本地雞支持
The Third Side, which described itself as non-establishment when it contested elections, held its eighth-anniversary fundraising dinner last night (28th). Two government officials who had originally agreed to attend failed to show up at the last minute. Chairman Tik Chi-yuen said there was no need to link the incident to politics and described the dinner as merely a “community gathering”. Several pro-establishment legislators nevertheless attended to show their support. Hoey Simon of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong brought local chickens, saying that attending the dinner demonstrated “confidence in the system” and that legislators produced under the system of patriots administering Hong Kong should all receive support. Party Secretary General Han Kim-tak said six-figure donations had been raised, with the total still being counted.
參選時自稱「非建制派」的新思維昨晚（28日）舉行八週年籌款晚宴，原本答應出席的兩位政府官員臨時「甩底」，惟主席狄志遠認為無須聯想到政治層面，又形容是次晚宴只是「民間聚會」。不過，昨晚獲多名建制議員「捧場」，民建聯何俊賢就送本地雞，稱出席晚宴是體現「制度自信」，愛國者治港制度下產生的議員都應該得到支持。黨總幹事韓劍德表示，現籌得6位數字捐款，總額仍在統計中。
