Xie Jianping, Speaker of the Congress and Councilor of the Marinbaryl Group Constituency, said that the newly named Marinbaryl-Bled Ridge Constituency in the next general election, its name better reflects the characteristics of the Marinbaryl Group Constituency.

He made the above statement to the Lianhe Zaobao reporter after attending the restart ceremony of the Aljuni Bend NKF Dialysis Center at the Honglong Foundation and the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) on Sunday (March 16).

He said that since 1997, Brad Ridge has been part of the Marin Bailey Group constituency and has often raised questions about the division of the constituency over the past 28 years. “I think naming constituents is not an easy task. We have five different regions. No matter which one (to name it), the remaining four that are not selected will always feel inappropriate.”

He said that despite the name change, Brad Ridge is still part of the constituency. “The constituency scope review committee believes that naming some constituents with two place names can better reflect the characteristics of constituents. If you ask me, I think so too.”

Xie Jianping also told the media that he has worked in the Marin Bailey Gate Constituency for nearly 19 years. In the Maiboshen and Brad Ridge areas in the constituency, the ratio of older residents is high and the housing age is also very high.
