CHAN KAM-CHUEN: Sir, I rise to support in principle the Women and Young Persons (Industry)(Amendment) Regulations 1988. On 4 March 1988, the Legislative Council in-house meeting supported them in principle and formed an ad hoc group to clarify some points with the Administration which may give rise to misunderstanding by labour organisations. This was done on 8 March 1988 under my convenership. After clarification by the Administration, the ad hoc group was satisfied with the amended regulations and a written report dated 11 March 1988 was sent to all Legislative Council in-house meeting members. My colleague, Mr. TAM Yiu-chung will elaborate on some points. Personally, my view is the same as when I joined the Labour Advisory Board in 1977, that is, the safety of female workers returning home around midnight. Their family members and the police on the beat, if requested, should accompany them in dark places, up the lifts and stairways to prevent rape. Government is also asked to make an annual review on the effects of these regulations and improve on them where necessary. In the meantime, intensive publicity will help to clear up the misunderstanding of workers. With these observations, Sir, I support these measures which hopefully may relieve our temporary acute shortage of workers in industry. MR. TAM (in Cantonese): Sir, the Women and Young Persons (Industry) (Amendment) Regulations 1988 were gazetted on 26 February 1988 and enacted immediately after its study by the Executive Council. From the surface, it can be seen that the amendments are just technical amendments. However if you look at them very carefully and analyse them, you will find that the amendments are not only technical in nature. I will now speak in detail about my opinions on the amended regulations. First of all, regulation 8(1A) stipulates that, if the total number of work hours, excluding overtime, do not exceed 96 in any consecutive two weeks, then the employers can reach an agreement with the employees so that they can change the eight-hour day and 48- hour week without asking for exemption from the Commissioner of Labour. This amendment, according to the Labour Department, is to add to the flexibility of the Ordinance so that the employers can have more flexibility with the hours of work. The Administration also says that the eight-hour day and the 48-hour week principle is maintained. The amendments will give flexibility to the law. HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL-16 March 1988 909 However, if you analyse it very carefully, you will see that the 96-hour fortnight has maintained the 48-hour-week principle but has sacrificed the spirit of the eight-hour day. As you know, the spirit of the eight-hour day is to protect the mental and physical well-being of employees so that they will not sustain unnecessary losses because of overtime work. If they work more than eight hours a day, they will get overtime pay to compensate for their mental and physical exhaustion. However, according to the present amendment, women and young persons can work up to 10 hours a day and the two hours in excess of the eight hours can be seen as normal working hours in any one day. Moreover, within these two extra hours, the employees cannot obtain overtime pay any more. They will only have normal pay. Thus, they do not have any gains in fringe benefits by extending their work day by two hours but their employers will have their marginal cost cut. Therefore, the 96-hour fortnight is actually contravening the spirit of the eight-hour day. The flexibility offers to the industrial undertakings by the Government therefore only benefits the employers. I thus have reservations about this amendment. I think that when introducing such amendments the Administration should adhere strictly to the eight-hour day spirit. Now, from the technical point of view, the amendment says that the employers and employees must reach an agreement in respect of the 96-hour fortnight before it can be worked out. I do not think this is technically possible, because in present day situation, the employers always have the upper hand. So I do not think the employees can reach an agreement on an equal footing with the employers. In short, if the employees are not on equal footing with the employers, they will have to accept the new arrangements. The Administration has not ensured in law that a fair agreement could be reached between the employees and employers. Moreover, the Women and Young Persons (Industry)(Amendment) Regulations 1988 have shown us that the Administration has only looked at the benefits of the employers and not the employees.

    4920 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 29 June 1994 8.00 pm PRESIDENT: I am sorry. Would Members please deal with one piece of business. It is now eight o’clock and under Standing Order 8(2) this Council should now adjourn. ATTORNEY GENERAL: Mr President, with your consent, I move that Standing Order 8(2) should be suspended so as to allow the Council’s business this evening to be concluded. Question proposed, put and agreed to. Council went into Committee. CHAIRMAN: Council is now in Committee and is suspended until 15 minutes to nine o’clock. 8.56 pm CHAIRMAN: Committee will now resume. MR MARTIN LEE (in Cantonese): Mr Chairman, thank you for adjourning the debate on my motion so that Members could have a supper break. I hope I can secure a greater chance of success if they listen to my speech after dining. Mr Chairman, on behalf of the United Democrats of Hong Kong (UDHK), I move the amendments to clause 22 except item 12 of schedule 2. The amendments have already been set out under my name in the paper circulated to Members. Mr Chairman, before I make my speech, I would like to raise a point concerning Mr Jimmy McGREGOR because he was quite upset when he heard my previous speech. He hoped that I could clarify one point. In fact, I did not mean that all the people in the commercial sector had not supported democracy. If all the voters in the commercial sector had not supported democracy, Mr Jimmy McGREGOR would not have been returned in the 1988 and 1991 elections.

Devolution of powers to local governments is the most sweeping reform in governance worldwide, particularly over the past two decades. Yet, compared to reforms in liberalization of markets and removal of trade barriers, it is rarely in the public eye. Local government design presents a host of unique challenges to policy makers. The building blocks of good local governance are many, not least an effective approach to ensure that women and marginalized groups are true partners. These systems ought to go beyond merely providing an opportunity for the voices of poor and marginalized to be heard, but must pro-actively encourage them to do so. Enabling large numbers of ordinary people to compete in elections ought to irreversibly strengthen the foundations of democracy and constitutes the best antidote to the increasing tendency to show disinterest in government.

  • Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong By
    Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong by Cecilia Louise Chu A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor C. Greig Crysler Professor Eugene F. Irschick Spring 2012 Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Copyright 2012 by Cecilia Louise Chu 1 Abstract Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Cecilia Louise Chu Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair This dissertation traces the genealogy of property development and emergence of an urban milieu in Hong Kong between the 1870s and mid 1930s. This is a period that saw the transition of colonial rule from one that relied heavily on coercion to one that was increasingly “civil,” in the sense that a growing number of native Chinese came to willingly abide by, if not whole-heartedly accept, the rules and regulations of the colonial state whilst becoming more assertive in exercising their rights under the rule of law. Long hailed for its laissez-faire credentials and market freedom, Hong Kong offers a unique context to study what I call “speculative urbanism,” wherein the colonial government’s heavy reliance on generating revenue from private property supported a lucrative housing market that enriched a large number of native property owners. Although resenting the discrimination they encountered in the colonial territory, they were able to accumulate economic and social capital by working within and around the colonial regulatory system.
