Stephen was first appointed to this Council in December 1980 and became an elected Member in October 1985, representing the Industrial Constituency, and has had unbroken service since then. In his 13 years with this Council, Stephen has served on numerous committees, panels and ad hoc groups and was in his second term as Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee. His public service outside of this Council reads as a scroll of honour and is well known to all of us and to the community. I think the abiding memory that most of us will carry of Stephen both inside and out of this Chamber is the passion and depth of his convictions, and the spirit and eloquence with which he expressed these convictions. But there 3544 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 May 1993 was also a generosity of spirit and a sentimental side to Stephen which many of us will remember with affection. Hong Kong has suffered a grievous loss with his sudden death and we are all the poorer for it. To his widow Joan, his four sons and his parents, I offer our deepest condolences. After other Members have spoken, I will ask that we all stand and observe silence for one minute in honour of his memory. CHIEF SECRETARY: Mr President, on behalf of the ex officio Members of the Council and all my colleagues throughout the public service, I would like to express the shock and deep regret with which we received the news of Stephen CHEONG's untimely death. Those of us who worked closely with Stephen admired the dedication, enthusiasm and competence he brought to the task of addressing the many complex issues of great public importance with which he was involved. We valued in particular the leadership and guidance he provided in the Council as Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee and as Convener of the ad hoc group on the Financing of the Airport Core Programme. Outside the Legislative Council Stephen's particular field of interest was of course that of industrial development, a field in which he served with distinction as the Chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Industries General Committee and Chairman of the Hong Kong Industrial Estates Corporation Board. Closely linked to his day-to-day involvement in industrial development was his commitment to the development of higher education in the field of industrial technology. He was a first class Chairman of the Council of the Hong Kong Polytechnic and a dedicated, hard-working member of the Council of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. In short, his contribution to the constituency he represented, to this Council as a whole and to the entire community of Hong Kong has been immense. In his personal relationships with colleagues in this Council and elsewhere Stephen was recognized as someone who was genuinely open to ideas and could be relied upon to give honest and frank opinions on the issues which came before him. Above all we will miss his friendship, his zest and enthusiasm for life, and his sense of fun. Joan and the boys can surely be proud of all that Stephen has done for Hong Kong and to them we send our most sincere condolences. Our thoughts are with you. HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 19 May 1993 3545 MR ALLEN LEE (in Cantonese): Mr President, Mr Stephen CHEONG's sudden death is a loss to this Council and indeed a loss to Hong Kong. Stephen was first appointed to this Council in December 1980. Since then, he has devoted himself to industrial development and trade promotion in Hong Kong. He has worked for the future of Hong Kong with immense zest and is a typical politician who has Hong Kong's interest at heart. As I recollect, in the early 1980s, Stephen and I were of the opinion that the increase in electricity charges by the two public utility companies was unfair and unacceptable to Hong Kong people. However, the Government approved the application for increase in charges on grounds of a control scheme. The control scheme was a secret document not open to the public at that time. We considered that it was extremely unreasonable to keep it from the public so we moved a debate in this Council in an attempt to compel the Government to make public the control scheme. People who were well-informed of the political situation at the time felt that what we were doing was mission impossible and that the Governor would not re-appoint Stephen and me to this Council. In spite of this, Stephen and I held that being Members of this Council, if we were unable to pursue the truth and uphold justice and our belief, we would rather not be re-appointed. In May 1983 when Hong Kong's future still hanged in the balance, Stephen and I organized a young professionals delegation to Beijing to express Hong Kong people's worries to the Chinese leaders, in the hope that it could help to end the jitters about the future of Hong Kong.

  • 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.

    Hong Kong Watch * * * * * * * International parliamentarians condemn today’s imprisonment of the ‘most moderate and distinguished’ pro-democracy activists Today, authorities in Hong Kong have sentenced nine prominent pro-democracy activists for taking part in a peaceful protest in August 2019, including the the ‘father of Hong Kong’s democracy’ Martin Lee, ‘the owner of Apple Daily Jimmy Lai, and international barrister Margaret Ng. The nine pro-democracy activists which span the generations have received jail sentences and suspended sentences, with Jimmy Lai receiving 12 months, Lee Cheuk-yan receiving 12 months, Leung Kwok-hung receiving 18 months, Au Nok-hin receiving 10 months, and Cyd Ho receiving 8 months in prison and Margaret Ng receiving 12 month suspended sentence, Martin Lee receiving 11 months suspended sentence, Albert Ho receiving 12 months suspended sentence, and Leung Yiu-chung receiving an 8 month suspended sentence for the charge of ‘unlawful assembly’. U.N. Special Rapporteurs for human rights have previously called for the Hong Kong Government to withdraw the Public Order Ordinance which allows authorities to criminalise peaceful protest describing it as an assault on freedom of expression and freedom of assembly. A group of international parliamentarians led by Hong Kong Watch’s patron and the last British governor of Hong Kong, Lord Patten, have responded to the sentencing of the prominent pro-democracy activists. Their comments follow calls from over 100 UK MPs for the sanctioning of Hong Kong officials. U.K. Lord Patten of Barnes said: “The CCP's comprehensive assault on the freedoms of Hong Kong and its rule of law continues relentlessly.
