she says she is not a fan of rose pak. she actually lives in an apartment that more than 80% of people are chinese residents, and most of them speak -- she says rose pack -- rose pak was not a good person. [speaking foreign language] >> voice of translator: that's why she says i came to say my name there. [speaking foreign language] >> voice of translator: while we were doing the signature collection in front of a grocery store, we ran into a retired policeman. he and his wife both said that, especially him, he said he interacted with rose pak multiple times and he was initially against her. he and his wife both signed a signature to oppose naming rose pak. >> thank you very much. >> good afternoon, everyone. for the station name, i definitely want to say no rose pak. chinatown only. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please.

you may see that rose pak as a saint, rose pak as a bully. you may believe what we told you or you may believe what we told you. but there's one thing that's crystal clear, which is the naming idea is controversial and it's brought division to our community. this consequence of law is enough for you to make a call, so how can you do a naming as a public, like, facility and have your community divided? so in this case, a very simple decision, which is walk away, do not force it, and do not divide our community. as a public agency, like, should never do things like divide your community, right, so no rose pack and chinatown station only. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello, again. my name is lisa pang. the major popular media has controlled the media saying without rose pak, there's no central station because she brought us 900 million in federal funds. in fact other people said she brought this project, $100 million funds. i go to chinatown more than any of you guys maybe twice, three times a month. if you guys don't go to

this is the last thing rose got for us, the chinatown rose pak station. thank you very much. >> clerk: thank you. next speaker, please. >> we almost lost $800,000 from our nutrition program maybe about ten years ago and it was rose pak that led the fight for our community to get organized and go fight for the money back, not just for seniors, but children and youth and families. rose not only helped build the central subway, but also the chinese hospital, the a.p.i. hospital and many other charitable causes. today commissioners should make the safe choice by not failing to remember rose pak. >> clerk: thank you. next speaker, please? smpbilitys good evening. my name is michael lau. i live in san francisco. i used to be a store owner. to be honest, in the beginning i didn't know rose and stories i heard was just as what was said before. afterwards when i finally met her and talked to her and saw all the things she did, she fought for chinatown. she didn't give an inch to any politicians or anybody around. so that's why i support chinatown rose pak station,

pack -- rose -- rose pak station. she has done a great contribution to the construction of china hospital, and she advocated for central subway for chinatown. she also worked with the police assistance on chinatown's safety she serves as a model for me and my son, and i support the renaming to be chinatown rose pak station. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. supervisor campos, what did we do to your former colleagues that they shut off our air-conditioning? >> i don't know what is going on >> as you may recall, we gave you everything you wanted. [laughter]. >> thank you very much for your service, commissioners. i will be very brief. there is a reason why i wanted to be here. i work in the south bay. it i thought it was important for me to be here. naming any kind of public space or public building after any individual is a challenge. i just went through the naming of the harvey milk terminal. but as challenging as it is, the reason why it is important is because of what it means to communities.

by rose pak. thank you very much. >> next speaker, please. >>. speaking foreign language. >> hello everyone. me name is sophieia. i support chinatown station only. this will be the name for the long-term interest of chinatown and people living here and where people come from, hong kong, taiwan or china, they share the sense of identity and belonging. naming chinatown station after rose pak will only divide our community. >> next speaker, please. >>.>> i just came to the united states from china not long ago. i was really surprised to see so many people against and for naming the station after rose pak. naming a public facility after someone, that person is usually a hero or martyr or something like that. i have heard that rose pak is not such a person. this is not respecting the human rights of all chinese people we all have something to say about naming of the station. underneath the gate to chinatown says peace in all of the world and we are very proud to be there. with rose pak's name we will f

rose pak. you have a sound policy of using geographical identifications, not after a woman who in the 1970s is a chronicle reporter attacked an interviewee because of answers she didn't like, resulting in the police being called and her later being fired, not a person who called upon the assassination in a chinese language newspaper of a world war ii veteran "my friend sinclair louis." >> chair heinicke: thank you, senator. >> it would be a stain on all of you who vote to name this station or re-name it after it has already been rejected. >> chair heinicke: thank you, senator. >> clerk: walter wong, jane kim, allen lowe, david lee, zhou wong zeng. if you hear your name called, if you could please line up along the wall. i will read a few more names because those people may be downstairs. walter wong, jane kim, allen lowe, david lee, zhou longzheng, harlem wong, cindy woo, eric mar. >> chair heinicke: let's stop right there. are any of those people in the room? >> clerk: i'll read the next ten.
