<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Carrie Lam’s inability to deliver her annual policy address marked a slap in the face for the embattled chief executive.</p>
<p>Mrs Lam had already started delivering the speech when chanting pro-democracy members forced an interruption.</p>

<p>She left the Legislative Council chamber and then came back a few minutes later to try again, only to be interrupted one more time.</p>
<p>At an impromptu news conference outside the chamber, the politicians then played a recording on a small loudspeaker that they said was the sound of police tear-gassing protesters and of protesters screaming.</p>
<p>“These are the voices of people screaming and they are just ordinary Hong Kong people,” said Tanya Chan.</p>

<p>“Please, please, please Mrs Carrie Lam, don’t let us suffer any more.”</p>
<p>She and others called for Mrs Lam’s resignation.</p>
<p>“This is the only way that we can have a good future,” said Mrs Chan.</p>
<p>Mrs Lam had been bracing for trouble in the chamber as her government battles protests that have gripped the semi-autonomous Chinese territory since June.</p>
