MR CHAN CHI-CHUEN (in Cantonese): I request a headcount in accordance with Rule 17(3). CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Will the Clerk please ring the bell to summon Members to the Chamber. (After the summoning bell had been rung, a number of Members entered the Chamber) CHAIRMAN (in Cantonese): Committee continues with the first debate, which is on heads with no amendments. Will Members please return to your seats. Honourable Members, as I told you yesterday, I would like to conclude this debate at 10 am this morning, followed by voting. Since a Member just now requested a headcount and that took us 10 minutes to wait for Members to enter the Chamber, it is now 9.10 am. For those Members who have yet to speak in the first debate, if you wish to speak in this debate session but have not pressed the "Request to speak" button, please press the button now. (A number of Members pressed the "Request to speak" button) There are altogether seven Members who request to speak, including three Members who speak for the first time. These three Members are, according to their order of pressing the "Request to speak" button, Mr WONG Kwok-hing, Dr Kenneth CHAN and Dr CHIANG Lai-wan. The other four Members have already spoken at least once yesterday and they request to speak again. These LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 23 April 2015 9193 four Members are, according to their order of pressing the button, Mr CHAN Chi-chuen, Mr LEUNG Kwok-hung, Mr WONG Yuk-man and Mr Albert CHAN. If I allow all these seven Members to speak, I am afraid this debate may not conclude at 10 am. I understand that some Members strongly request me to conduct the debate in accordance with the original time allocation plan, that is, conclude this debate at 10 am, followed by voting. However, it is still my wish to rationalize the allocation of time through the collaboration of all Members, and optimize the meeting time for debate. We also understand that we need to make some arrangements in respect of time allocation. As for those Members who have already spoken brilliantly in the first debate and intend to speak in other debates, I also look forward to their speeches. Therefore, I shall let all those Members who have pressed the "Request to speak" button to speak in this session. If Members intend to speak more than once, I hope they will well organize the contents of their speech so that they can fully express their views within the speaking time. In other words, this debate session may be slightly extended, but I will deduct the extended time from the second debate, which means that the second debate will be shorter. This situation will happen sooner or later, because we aim to have all the debate sessions concluded within a specific period of time. I will now invite those Members who have not spoken in the first debate to speak first. The first Member is Mr WONG Kwok-hing. APPROPRIATION BILL 2015 MR WONG KWOK-HING (in Cantonese): Chairman, I support your arrangement on time management. At least, I will know when the filibustering can end. Chairman, regarding the 21 heads with no amendments, though I think there are plenty of room for improvement, the matters concerned can be raised to the Government and discussed at meetings of various Panels and at special meetings of the Finance Committee. There is no need to waste the time of Council meetings. According to Mr NG Leung-sing's computation, each day of filibustering in the new Legislative Council Session would result in a wastage of 9194 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 23 April 2015 $2.96 million, an increase of 5.6% when compared to the wastage of $2.55 million per day last year. In other words, this is the second day of filibustering, and a total of $5.38 million of taxpayers' money has already been wasted. Thus, I would finish my speech in two or three minutes instead of using up the 15 minutes of my speaking time. I also urge Honourable colleagues, if you treasure the speaking time and if you want to raise a lot of views, you should not abuse your right by requesting headcounts. Since Members wish to express their opinions, they should not waste the precious meeting time by conducting headcounts. In fact, we already had seven or eight headcounts since yesterday, which means much time had unnecessarily been wasted. Nevertheless, I am glad that the Chairman just now announced that each debate session will still be conducted in accordance with the original time allocation plan, regardless of the number of times of headcounts requested. Therefore, I hereby urge my fellow Members not to request headcount anymore, so as to avoid wasting time. Will Members please voice your views if you want to debate, and stop the practice of requesting headcounts.

  • Harmony in Diversity

    Harmony in Diversity

    The International Institute of Management 國際專業管理學會 Harmony In Diversity Celebrating years of The International Institute of Management The Management Journal 2018-19 Harmony In Diversity In today’s multi-generational, hyperconnected, over-achieving, highly cyclical workforce, the almost-always cut-throat business environment reverberates with diversity. The concept of diversity should encompass understanding, respect and acceptance. Diversity also means realising that each individual is unique, recognising the individual differences and celebrating in the collective strengths of each other as we work towards our goals and objectives in life. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, political beliefs or other ideologies. It is the exploration of these differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment that allows for better understanding and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual. Successfully leading various teams through empathic leadership, by providing the vision and oversight to cultivate more diverse yet inclusive organisations; by optimising, innovating and disrupting business models to produce more significant and sustainable measurable growth; by elevating the power of successful shared experiences and best practice; and by celebrating harmony in diversity are what underpin the International Institute of Management’s continued

    University of Hong Kong: Bridging East and West

    316-068 JANUARY 11, 2016 WILLIAM C. KIRBY JOYCELYN W. EBY University of Hong Kong: Bridging East and West With our fabulous students, our fabulous staff, and our wonderful facilities, we have great opportunities in the world. What we must not do is squander those by worrying about firefighting or short-term considerations. — Peter Mathieson, Presidenta of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) Peter Mathieson stared in disbelief at reports that the latest focal point of student discussion at HKU was not the recent shift from a three- to four-year curriculum, nor the Occupy Central movement that had taken up much of his students’ energy during fall 2014. Rather, it was his own recent consumption of a Subway sandwich as he sat alone on a campus bench. Mathieson sighed as he read the many comments guessing the subtext and implications of his lonely, public lunch (in truth, nothing more than a quick, impromptu meal). Attention of key stakeholders at HKU too often failed to focus on the most pressing business at hand. Less than two years into his tenure as President, Mathieson already recognized that uniting the many interests at HKU to focus on a substantive, long-term agenda would be his greatest challenge. For much of its institutional history, HKU was the only university in Hong Kong. Although HKU now competed against seven other higher education institutions in Hong Kong for government funding and support, many at HKU remained stuck in monopolistic mindset of the mid-20th century. HKU needed a strategy to ensure its continued leadership in higher education in Hong Kong in a sector increasingly crowded with high quality institutions.

    Hong Kong, China: Learning to Belong to a Nation

    Downloaded by [ISTEX] at 03:47 06 September 2013 Hong Kong, China The idea of “national identity” is an ambiguous one for Hong Kong. Returned to the national embrace of China on 1 July 1997 after 150 years as a British colony, the concept of national identity and what it means to “belong to a nation” is a matter of great tension and contestation in Hong Kong. Written by three academic specialists on cultural identity, social history, and the mass media, this book explores the processes through which the people of Hong Kong are “learning to belong to a nation” by examining their shifting rela- tionship with the Chinese nation and state in the recent past, present, and future. It considers the complex meanings of and debates over national identity in Hong Kong over the past fifty years, especially during the last decade following the territory’s return to China. In doing so, the book takes a larger, global perspect- ive, exploring what Hong Kong teaches us about potential future transforma- tions of national identity in the world as a whole. Multidisciplinary in approach, Hong Kong, China examines national identity in terms of theory, ethnography, history, the mass media, and survey data, and will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese history, cultural studies, and nationalism.

Abstract This study seeks to identify and explain the ideological diversity of the TV dramas produced in different organizational contexts. It is a comparative study of two Hong Kong TV dramas, one produced by public television RTHK, the other by commercial broadcast television TVB. Discourse analyses of the two dramas indicate that the commercial drama have limited ideological diversity and are pro-establishment in nature, while the public drama are ideologically more diversified and negotiatory.

    Ms Sophia Kao Ching-Chi SBS JP - Doctorate of the Academy Honoris Causa

    Ms Sophia Kao Ching-chi SBS JP - Doctorate of the Academy honoris causa Ms Sophia Kao Ching-chi is currently a full-time Member of the Central Policy Unit of the Hong Kong SAR Government. With a career that spans both the private and public sectors, she applies her expertise and experience in human resources management to help the Government in identifying, engaging and nurturing talents for public service.

Ms Kao’s association with The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts dates back to 1990, when her daughters attended the Academy’s Pre-junior Music Programme. Grateful for the positive impact of music education on their lives, Ms Kao devoted herself to giving back to the Academy by taking a more proactive role as a volunteer at The Society for the Academy for Performing Arts (SAPA) – leveraging her time, energy and network to help raise greatly-needed funds to nurture performing arts talents in Hong Kong.
