The Pulse：Interview with Regina Ip & WKCD new financial arrangement

The nomination period for the chief executive election ended on Wednesday. John Tsang and Woo Kwok-hing both gathered enough nominations, 165 and 180 respectively, while Beijing’s rumoured favourite contender Carrie Lam had 580. Regina Ip did not however secure enough nominations to enter the race and she’s here to reflect on what happened and maybe what will happen next.
Next Wednesday marks the end of an eight week exhibition at the City Gallery, displaying aspects of the controversial Hong Kong Palace Museum to be erected in the West Kowloon Cultural District. The exhibition coincides with a series of official of consultation sessions on the project. Not only is the scope of the public consultation limited, the sessions have been held behind closed doors only involving limited participation. Last week, at a Legco subcommittee meeting legislators had plenty of questions to ask both the government and the cultural district authority about its future financing.
