Following is the transcript of remarks by the Secretary for Security, Mr Lai Tung-kwok, at a media session after visiting Lo Wu Control Point today (September 8):
Reporter: Did the police officers encounter any difficulties in controlling the gathering in Tamar last night ... would there be any special deployment?
Secretary for Security: Well, with the assistance of those who participated in the gathering last night, everything was smooth, the police did not encounter any problem in making arrangements for people to attend and to leave the place where they intended to hold their gatherings. We do not have an estimate of the number of persons that will come to join the gathering today or later in the evening. But the police will, as usual, try their very best to manage the people's flow to enable that everybody can come in and leave in an orderly manner and that is the job of our police officers.
