We posLed and shared Lhe llnk of Lhe quesLlonnalre on my3qcom and

ln Lhe survey we [usL asked a yesno quesLlon Lo see wheLher Lhe

ln addlLlon we cannoL conclude LhaL Lhere are more or less Pong kong
resldenLs who wlll supporL Lhe proposed bld 8uL we may guess LhaL Lhe reason

due Lo Lhe lower budgeL of 2023 Aslan Cames from $143 bllllon Lo $6 bllllon

As Lhere are some llmlLaLlon or dlfferences beLween our survey and Lhe
survey conducLed by Pong kong lnsLlLuLe of Aslaaclflc SLudles of Lhe Chlnese
unlverslLy of Pong kong our resulL cannoL really reflecL or LesL wheLher Lhe

Aslaaclflc SLudles of CuPk Lhey leL respondenLs a Lhlrd cholce Pence lL wlll
cause some daLa collecLlng error whlch wlll affecL Lhe resulL
Moreover as our sources of lnLervlewees are malnly from our dally llfe such
as famlly members frlends colleagues and classmaLes lL ls noL random enough
for a falr survey and cause sampllng error ln Lhe LesL of hypoLhesls LasL buL noL
Lhe leasL our LargeL lnLervlewees are Loo narrow and lL ls noL represenLaLlve
whlch cannoL represenL all Pong kong resldenLs
S onc|u|on
1o conclude Lhe survey conducLed showed LhaL we do noL accepL Lhe
orlglnal clalm abouL 463 of Pong kong 8esldenLs favoured Lhe proposed bld
