Fourth Members' motion: Motion for the adjournment of the Council under Rule 16(2) of the Rules of Procedure. PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Ms Cyd HO has proposed a motion for adjournment under Rule 16(2) of the Rules of Procedure for the purpose of debating the following issue: the integrity and probity of the Chief Executive and his responsibility for upholding the fairness and impartiality of the next Chief Executive Election to be held on 25 March. The mover of motion and other Members may each speak for up to 15 minutes. Members who wish to speak will please press the "Request to speak" button. I now call upon Ms Cyd HO to speak and move the motion. MOTION FOR THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE COUNCIL UNDER RULE 16(2) OF THE RULES OF PROCEDURE MS CYD HO (in Cantonese): I move that this Council do now adjourn for the purpose of debating the integrity and probity of the Chief Executive and his responsibility for upholding the fairness and impartiality of the next Chief Executive Election to be held on 25 March. President, actually, the election to be held on 25 March is unfair from beginning to end. It is a small-circle election, in which only 1 200 people can vote. As the other 7.07 million people are excluded, how can it be fair? However, the Chief Executive is to be held accountable because he rolled out a retrogressive constitutional reform package in 2010. Therefore, he has broken his election pledge on this count. 6670 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 1 March 2012 President, the outcome really relies on the god's words whispered in one's ear. If one will only vote according to the voice one hears, how can this be called an election? However, with such a fierce battle vying for the post going on, at least we demand the Chief Executive to remain neutral and avoid showing favouritism towards either side in dealing with the two scandal-plagued candidates in order to maintain his impartiality. However, in such a sensitive moment, in such a fierce moment, the close association of the Chief Executive with an active supporter of one camp has been exposed. They are on such close terms that the Chief Executive can stay overnight on the tycoon's private yacht. Moreover, the yacht-stay in Macao revealed by the media is not a one-off incident. The Chief Executive has himself disclosed a three-night stay on a friend's yacht in Thailand. However, what is the identity of this friend? Will he get any benefits in business through his association with the Chief Executive? This has remained unknown so far. Moreover, the luxury apartment in Shenzhen where the Chief Executive has planned to live after retirement from office is, of course, another concern. According to the Chief Executive, he has paid an annual rental of $1 million for this luxury apartment of 6 000 sq ft. Mr WONG Cho-bau, a large shareholder of the group that owns this property, also has a major stake in the Digital Broadcasting Corporation (DBC). Upon the grant of the licence by the Chief Executive and the Executive Council, why can the Chief Executive completely shirk the responsibility by simply saying "he was careless"? In the past, when other civil servants were charged by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), could they also completely shirk the responsibility by simply saying "they were careless"? It is also reported that a D6 officer was reprimanded for the acceptance of a ferry ticket bought for him upon the insistence of the Macao Government for his return journey to Hong Kong. To these civil servants, how can their feeling bear such a blow? However, surprisingly, our Chief Executive has taken everything, big or small. Apart from a luxury apartment of 6 000 sq ft, and a flight on a private jet at the cost of economy class fare, a treadmill is also involved. Actually, a person with common sense ― a normal, reasonable person with general knowledge will never consider such behaviour of the Chief Executive as clean and impartial. However, recent reports have shown us that there is no most rotten but more and more rotten. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 1 March 2012 6671 As to the question of whether the Chief Executive has practised favouritism out of his personal interests in handling breaches of the candidates and the licensing of the DBC, there are many question marks in the minds of the public. The public may also ask: As the Chief Executive and the supporter of the TANG camp stayed on the same yacht for such a long time, would someone have asked him explicitly or implicitly to relax a bit here and tighten up a bit there? Therefore, at this sensitive moment, the Chief Executive absolutely should not mix with either of the two camps to give people a chance to query whether he has practised favouritism towards either side. Of course, the Chief Executive may say that he has known members of the three camps for a long time, so it is impossible for him not to meet them. It is true that one has to make sacrifices when one holds public office. As he has the highest authority in the SAR and the full responsibility for governing Hong Kong, it must have an impact on his private life. The same also applies to Members and civil servants. So, why should the Chief Executive be an exception? While the Chief Executive says that it is impossible for him not to meet these private friends of his, we can see that he totally evades communication with Members despite it is one of his official duties.

F. LEE ABSTRACT: Most observers argued that press freedom in Hong Kong has been declining continually over the past 15 years. This article examines the problem of press freedom from the perspective of the political economy of the media. According to conventional understanding, the Chinese government has exerted indirect influence over the Hong Kong media through co-opting media owners, most of whom were entrepreneurs with ample business interests in the mainland. At the same time, there were internal tensions within the political economic system. The latter opened up a space of resistance for media practitioners and thus helped the media system as a whole to maintain a degree of relative autonomy from the power centre. However, into the 2010s, the media landscape has undergone several significant changes, especially the worsening media business environment and the growth of digital media technologies.

  • The RTHK Coverage of the 2004 Legislative Council Election Compared with the Commercial Broadcaster
    Mainstream or Alternative? The RTHK Coverage of the 2004 Legislative Council Election Compared with the Commercial Broadcaster so Ming Hang A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy in Government and Public Administration © The Chinese University of Hong Kong June 2005 The Chinese University of Hong Kong holds the copyright of this thesis. 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.

  • JORC Report 2007
    JORC Report 2007 The Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission (“JORC”) Report 2007 has a new format. Previously, our Report contained information about the JORC, gave an account of its important work during the year and described the different levels of court to give a comprehensive picture of the judicial offices within the responsibility of the JORC. Such information is now separately provided in two reports. First, a new report entitled “Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission” has been issued. This provides an account of the JORC and describes the different levels of court. It has been uploaded on our website. Secondly, an annual report which will concentrate on the work of the JORC during the year will be issued. In an effort to contribute to the protection of the environment, we will no longer publish a paper version of the “Judicial Officers Recommendation Commission” Report or the annual report. Both will only be uploaded on our Website. We hope you will enjoy reading this Report and gain a better understanding of the JORC during 2007.
