Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I do not want the Holy Spirit to escape from my brothers. You know because of my background, I support the civil society and the joint religious sector but because we do not want this spirit that is coming from the joint religious sector to escape, I will withdraw my amendment.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like to drop my proposal to amend Clause 21 because trustees should be nominated and not through a competitive process.
