立法會主席曾鈺成在毫無先兆下，突然批准現任政務司長林瑞麟在沒有依照立法會《議事規則》訂下之預告期限前，提出暫緩既定立法會程序的議案，令社會嘩然。簡單而言，《議事規則》規定法案辯論及通過應在政府決議案之前；而下屆政府架構重組正是一決議案，而非法案。主席在沒有令人信服之理據下，容許司長在沒預告下提出議事程序暫緩，停止審議及通過眾多有利民生的議案如：《2011 年強制性公積金計劃（修訂）（第2 號）條例草案》、《2011 年個人資料（私隱）（修訂）條例草案》、《一手住宅物業銷售條例草案》及《公司條例草案》等，讓重組決議案在七月一日前霸王硬上弓，是為了面子而放棄尊嚴之強權表現！
重組架構未能於七月一日前獲得通過，天會塌下來嗎？不會！立法會前主席范徐麗泰最少也說了一句真心話，而梁振英本人也不能不承認重組架構不能在七月一日上馬， 「天不會塌下來」！先進行廣泛諮詢、再提詳盡理據，才按照一貫程序重組，會否導致民不聊生、政府運作癱瘓？不會！這是連梁振英也不敢撒的謊；只有厚顏無恥的保皇之流才會如此言之旦旦。不要跟我說要梁班子「殘缺不全」上任是不公道，因為若現架構屬「殘缺不全」的話，我們過去這十五個年頭又是怎樣度過？多等十數天，依照正常程序通過也不為過罷！
《議事規則》給予主席及議會權力，因應事態需要而暫緩執行議事程序，是避免一些足以嚴重影響社會的法例或決議不能適時獲得通過，而架構重組肯定不在此列。為了面子問題而不惜把議會程序扭曲，只求個人虛名而把議會尊嚴棄如鞋履，值得嗎？

this is typical of people who ignore procedural justice which is commonly considered expedient by people who do not respect the law and procedure. They think that procedural niceties are hindrance and not a requirement.
why don't you like our QC old boy Wong Yan Lung SC? I would like to hear your explanation. I don't think Andrew Li should write an open letter to praise him. What is his motive? Also explain, if possible.
No, I like Yan Lung. I'm just disappointed he had not done as much as I had hoped he would. As to Andrew's letter, its a personal matter. After all, Yan Lung was his favourite pupil....
