Legco not burdened by filibuster amendments
(02-26 17:28)

The president of the Legislative Council, Jasper Tsang Yok-sing, says the secretariat will work according to rules when dealing with nearly two-million amendments to a proposal to ban filibustering.
They were submitted by pan-democrats in a bid to block the proposal by the DAB's Ip Kwok-him.
Tsang said processing them would not hinder other aspects of Legco's work, RTHK reports.
