MEMBERS' MOTIONS PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Proposed resolution under Rule 91 of the Rules of Procedure of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. PROPOSED RESOLUTION UNDER RULE 91 OF THE RULES OF PROCEDURE OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION MS MIRIAM LAU (in Cantonese): Madam President, I move that the resolution standing in my name be passed, and that is, Rules 23(2) and 24(3) of the Rules of Procedure be suspended. Last Wednesday when we were just about to proceed to the questions on the Agenda, we lacked a quorum and the President announced that the meeting be adjourned. In order that the 19 questions originally scheduled for that meeting can be raised at this meeting, I, in my capacity as Chairman of the House Committee, move that Rules 23(2) and 24(3) of the Rules of Procedure be suspended. Rule 23(2) provides that no more than 20 questions are allowed at each Council meeting and Rule 24(3) provides that each Member is allowed to ask no more than two questions at each Council meeting. I urge Members to support this resolution. Thank you, Madam President. Ms Miriam LAU moved the following motion: "RESOLVED that Rules 23(2) and 24(3) of the Rules of Procedure of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region be suspended to enable Members to ask, at this Council meeting, the questions scheduled for the Council meeting held on 19 January 2005 but were not asked." LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 26 January 2005 3337 PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): I now propose the question to you and that is: That the motion moved by Ms Miriam LAU be passed. PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Does any Member wish to speak? (No Member indicated a wish to speak) PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): I now put the question to you as stated. Will those in favour please raise their hands? (Members raised their hands) PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Those against please raise their hands. (No hands raised) PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): I think the question is agreed by a majority respectively of each of the two groups of Members, that is, those returned by functional constituencies and those returned by geographical constituencies through direct elections, who are present. I declare the motion passed. ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS (Questions originally scheduled for the last Council meeting) PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Questions. According to House Rules, question time normally does not exceed one and a half hours, that is, each question is allocated about 15 minutes on average. After a Member has asked a main question and the relevant official has given reply, the Member who asks a question has priority to ask the first supplementary. Other Members who wish to ask supplementary questions will please indicate their wish by pressing the "Request-to-speak" button and wait for his/her turn. 3338 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 26 January 2005 A supplementary should only contain one question and should be as concise as possible so that more supplementaries may be asked by Members. Members should not make statements when asking supplementaries, as this contravenes Rule 26(5) of the Rules of Procedure. First question. Performance and Conduct of Civil Servants 1. MR ANDREW LEUNG (in Cantonese): Madam President, regarding the performance and conduct of civil servants, will the Government inform this Council: (a) given that the authorities revised the procedures in 2003 to enable them to take action under Section 12 of the Public Service (Administration) Order to require an officer to retire in the public interest, if his/her performance is rated unsatisfactory within an appraisal period of 12 consecutive months and evidence shows that appropriate counselling and warning have been given by the management, whether they have assessed if the procedures can facilitate management actions and the effectiveness of such actions; if they have, of the assessment results; and (b) whether measures will be taken to further enhance the performance of civil servants and maintain their integrity in order to ensure that Hong Kong will continue to have a meritorious and honest Civil Service; if so, of the details of these measures? SECRETARY FOR THE CIVIL SERVICE (in Cantonese): Madam President, the Government is committed to maintaining a professional, efficient and honest Civil Service. Apart from giving due recognition to the meritorious performance of civil servants, our civil service management system also screens out substandard performers and places them under supervision to help them attain the required standard of performance. Appropriate actions will be taken to handle staff with persistent substandard performance, including where appropriate the compulsory retirement of an officer in the public interest. As regards integrity, all civil servants are expected to observe the rule of law and act LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 26 January 2005 3339 with impartiality and honesty. They must abide by the code of conduct embodied in various civil service rules and regulations and uphold high standards of probity in both their official capacity and daily life. The Government takes a firm stand towards acts of misconduct committed by civil servants. Once allegations are substantiated through due process, the Government will not hesitate to impose appropriate disciplinary punishment according to the circumstances of the case.

    Reviewing and Evaluating the Direct Elections to the Legislative Council and the Transformation of Political Parties in Hong Kong, 1991-2016

    Journal of US-China Public Administration, August 2016, Vol. 13, No. 8, 499-517 doi: 10.17265/1548-6591/2016.08.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Reviewing and Evaluating the Direct Elections to the Legislative Council and the Transformation of Political Parties in Hong Kong, 1991-2016 Chung Fun Steven Hung The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong After direct elections were instituted in Hong Kong, politicization inevitably followed democratization. This paper intends to evaluate how political parties’ politics happened in Hong Kong’s recent history. The research was conducted through historical comparative analysis, with the context of Hong Kong during the sovereignty transition and the interim period of democratization being crucial. For the implementation of “one country, two systems”, political democratization was hindered and distinct political scenarios of Hong Kong’s transformation were made. The democratic forces had no alternative but to seek more radicalized politics, which caused a decisive fragmentation of the local political parties where the establishment camp was inevitable and the democratic blocs were split into many more small groups individually. It is harmful. It is not conducive to unity and for the common interests of the publics. This paper explores and evaluates the political history of Hong Kong and the ways in which the limited democratization hinders the progress of Hong Kong’s transformation. Keywords: election politics, historical comparative, ruling, democratization The democratizing element of the Hong Kong political system was bounded within the Legislative Council under the principle of the separation of powers of the three governing branches, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Popular elections for the Hong Kong legislature were introduced and implemented for 25 years (1991-2016) and there were eight terms of general elections for the Legislative Council.

    LC Paper No. CB(2)1971/05-06(02) Legislative Council Panel on Constitutional Affairs Discussion regarding the formation of the Legislative Council by universal suffrage Introduction This paper provides relevant information for Members’ reference on the following discussion items proposed by the Democratic Party: (a) method for forming the Legislative Council (LegCo) by universal suffrage and the future of functional constituencies (FCs); and (b) delineation of geographical constituencies and the system of voting when all LegCo Members are returned by universal suffrage. Method for forming LegCo by universal suffrage and the future of FCs 2. Article 68 of the Basic Law provides that “the LegCo of the HKSAR shall be constituted by election. The method for forming the LegCo shall be specified in the light of actual situation in the HKSAR and in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress. The ultimate aim is the election of all members of LegCo by universal suffrage.” In accordance with the Decision made by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPCSC) of April 2004, the ratio between members returned by FCs and members returned by geographical constituencies (GCs) through direct elections, who shall respectively occupy half of the seats, is to remain unchanged. 3. At its meeting in November 2005, the Committee on Governance and Political Development of the Commission on Strategic Development (CSD) explored preliminarily the possible models for forming the LegCo when the ultimate aim of universal suffrage is attained (including the unicameral and bicameral systems) and the issues to be considered. The CSD Secretariat has provided to LegCo the relevant discussion paper (CB(2)519/05-06(2)).

Any person(s) intending to use a part or whole of the materials in the thesis in a proposed publication must seek copyright release from the Dean of the Graduate School. 卜二,A館書圆^^ m 18 1 KK j|| Abstract Theoretically, public broadcaster and commercial broadcaster are set up and run by two different mechanisms. Commercial broadcaster, as a proprietary organization, is believed to emphasize on maximizing the profit while the public broadcaster, without commercial considerations, is usually expected to achieve some objectives or goals instead of making profits. Therefore, the contribution by public broadcaster to the society is usually expected to be different from those by commercial broadcaster. However, the public broadcasters are in crisis around the world because of their unclear role in actual practice. Many politicians claim that they cannot find any difference between the public broadcasters and the commercial broadcasters and thus they asserted to cut the budget of public broadcasters or even privatize all public broadcasters. Having this unstable situation of the public broadcasting, the role or performance of the public broadcasters in actual practice has drawn much attention from both policy-makers and scholars. Empirical studies are divergent on whether there is difference between public and commercial broadcaster in actual practice.

THE BASIC LAW AND DEMOCRATIZATION IN HONG KONG Michael C. Davist I. Introduction Hong Kong's status as a Special Administrative Region of China has placed it on the foreign policy radar of most countries having relations with China and interests in Asia. This interest in Hong Kong has encouraged considerable inter- est in Hong Kong's founding documents and their interpretation. Hong Kong's constitution, the Hong Kong Basic Law ("Basic Law"), has sparked a number of debates over democratization and its pace. It is generally understood that greater democratization will mean greater autonomy and vice versa, less democracy means more control by Beijing. For this reason there is considerable interest in the politics of interpreting Hong Kong's Basic Law across the political spectrum in Hong Kong, in Beijing and in many foreign capitals.

BUSH: [In progress] I've long thought that politically Hong Kong plays a very important role in the Chinese political system because it can be, I think, a test bed, or a place to experiment on different political forums on how to run large Chinese cities in an open, competitive, and accountable way. So how Hong Kong's political development proceeds is very important for some larger and very significant issues for the Chinese political system as a whole, and therefore the debate over democratization in Hong Kong is one that has significance that reaches much beyond the rights and political participation of the people there. The election that occurred last Sunday is a kind of punctuation mark in that larger debate over democratization, and we're very pleased to have two very qualified people to talk to us today. The first is Professor Sonny Lo Shiu-hing, who has just joined the faculty of the University of Waterloo in Canada.
