People are afraid they would be arrested for what they would normally do, such as criticizing the government, or criticizing policies.

If the government insists on this point, it will be a pity.

There is no reason to support such a proposal when the system of appointed members still exists and no concrete timetable has been laid down by the government on how to achieve universal suffrage.

The Government must be completely mad - it's another nail in the coffin.

But this also shows that there aren't sufficient deals in the market and people are placing a higher valuation on companies that they invest in. This is fine as long as the market is growing, as it did last year. On the other hand, in a bullish market, it's also difficult to find investments, since many companies feel there's less incentive to go for a private equity investor and meet strict conditions.
