Hong Kong lawmakers thrown out of legislative chambers for heckling again
Hong Kong's legislature suspended a question and answer session with the city's leader on Thursday after pro-democracy lawmakers repeatedly interrupted her.
As Carrie Lam tried to speak, pro-democracy legislators repeatedly interrupted her before they were ejected from the Legislative Council chambers. Lam also left the room after the proceedings were suspended. Lam's speech focused on the housing affordability issue in Hong Kong. According to an official translation of her remarks, Lam said housing is the "toughest livelihood issue" facing the city's citizens and pledged to make more land available for public housing development.
Her package of land and housing initiatives is seen as a bid to restore confidence in the city's future after months of anti-government protests that have crippled the city and dampened investor sentiment in the Asian financial hub.
