(After the summoning bell had been rung, a number of Members returned to the Chamber) CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): I wish to remind Members once again that the time allocated to this debate is around nine and a half hours and yesterday, we already spent around four and a half hours on it. Will Members who intend to speak in LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 15 May 2015 10567 this debate please indicate their wish as early as possible and wait for your turns. I will call upon the Members who have proposed amendments to deliver their final speeches later on. Dr Kenneth CHAN, please speak. DR KENNETH CHAN (in Cantonese): Chairman, good morning, Members. Good morning, parents in Hong Kong. Yesterday evening, I started to speak on the amendment I have proposed to deduct the salary of Secretary Eddie NG for the coming year amounting to $3.58 million in the Budget. How well is Secretary Eddie NG versed in education? How is his performance? If we should make observations on his performance by listening to his words and observing his deeds, I believe as at today, both colleagues in the pan-democratic camp and the pro-establishment camp will know that Members are greatly dissatisfied with him if they have paid attention to him during meetings. This has nothing to do with politics or political views. This is a question of the personal charisma, efficiency or effectiveness demonstrated by him. In fact, let us take a look at the Public Opinion Programme of the University of Hong Kong, and in the polls a very good question was asked: "Do you wish to vote for his reappointment?". This year, that is, in 2015, in the several rounds of opinion polls conducted most recently, the results have found that less than 18% of the public would wish to see him remain in office. Regarding this Secretary for Education with a net popularity rating of negative 26%, this is a very interesting question. What kind of a person is he? What contributions has he made? What strengths does he have? Obviously, a conclusion that can be drawn from the past three years is that he quite likes visiting different countries and travelling around the world, as he was away for 87 days and conducted a total of 23 duty visits. Such on-the-job training is actually quite wasteful of public coffers. If we look at this more seriously and ask him what achievements have been made after these visits to overseas countries during which he lived in five-star hotels, flew in business class and brought along a deputation with him visiting here and there, we will see that he did not report much on his visit upon return and in fact, there was no report whatsoever to speak of. Therefore, this is also the problem that I particularly pointed out in the first place last night. 10568 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 15 May 2015 This trend of frequent overseas visits is indeed evinced most clearly during the tenure of Secretary Eddie NG. Many colleagues in the education sector take exception to his conduct. In fact, not only have I openly criticized him here, I have also tendered a piece of advice to him in private. I told him not to go too far. I said that all deeds of human can never escape God's eyes, and the people can see what he has done. He, therefore, said ― or perhaps according to the advice tendered to him by people around him, he said that he would think about a solution, and it turned out that the answer is to reduce the number of visits to overseas countries but increase that of visits to the Mainland. In his past 23 duty visits I found that he actually visited the Mainland China on almost half of these occasions. This actually leads to the next question and that is, who exactly are the people in charge of the education system in Hong Kong? Of course, Members may immediately say that it is sheer common sense that under "one country, two systems" and the framework of the Basic Law, the education issues in Hong Kong should definitely be addressed by Hong Kong and should definitely be dealt with by the Secretary for Education of Hong Kong, so how can people outside Hong Kong make irresponsible remarks and issue instructions in the back seat? But this is not quite true in reality, and this is exactly the point we consider most worrying. Over the past few years, especially after the furore over national education, there have been more and more voices claiming that the Secretary for Education of Hong Kong should accept more instructions and supervision from Beijing in order to effectively take forward national education or education on state affairs.

Observed versus Expected Match- Running Outputs of International Female Rugby Sevens Players A thesis submitted to Massey University, Albany, New Zealand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Sport and Exercise Kirsty Yallop 2018 Primary Supervisor: Associate Professor Andrew Foskett Co-Supervisor: Associate Professor Ajmol Ali 1 Abstract Women’s rugby sevens is a new and emerging sport with limited knowledge, specifically on international female match-running outputs. It is a rare opportunity to conduct research on elite athletes, and even more so for an emerging women’s sport. The overall aim of this thesis is to establish and compare observed international female rugby sevens players’ match-running outputs versus theoretical expected match-running outputs (elite male players and an established sport, football). Another unknown aspect of the women’s rugby sevens game is how fatigue affects performance. The thesis also determines differences in match-running outputs of international female rugby sevens players from half-to-half, game-to-game and tournament-to-tournament. Global Positioning System (GPS) units worn on the players’ backs were used to collect data from 18 female rugby sevens players across 15 matches and 19 female football players across four matches. Reasons for the gaps found in match-running outputs and aspects that could be improved for optimal elite performance in female rugby sevens were explored.

There are also limited researches on this topic. However, tourism, as a new form of leisure activity, changed people’s living styles and contributed to the economy too tremen- dously to be ignored by the sociologists. This project studied tour- ists’ behaviour and perception towards Hong Kong Sevens, an inter- nationally renowned and successful sports event in Hong Kong. The- ories on tourist gaze by Urry & Larson were examined in the context of Hong Kong Sevens. What the gazes overseas and local spectators were, as well as a conjecture where the gazes are formulated, were discussed. 1 Acknowledgement I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Mr Robbie McRobbie of Hong Kong Rugby Football Union (HKRFU) and all his colleagues in HKRFU for offering me the op- portunity and supports to make this research project possible.
