Addresses by Members The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts Annual Report July 1990 to June 1991 MRS MIRIAM LAU: Mr Deputy President, the 1990-91 Annual Report of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts for the year ended 30 June 1991 is tabled before this Council today. As a member of the Council of the Academy during the period covered by the report, it is my great pleasure to present this report to you and Members of this Council. The Academy established two new courses during the year, one on opera in September 1990 and one on television production in February 1991. Opera is central to classical musical experience and is an essential part of a singer's training. The new opera course offers classes in acting, movement, language and repertoire as well as fully-staged performances. The new television production course covers camera and lighting skills as well as production management, editing and sound, and the theory of broadcasting and visual communication. Graduates from this course will help to meet the pressing demand for trained manpower from the local television and film industries. An even more important development was the completion over the year of course restructuring in preparation for the Academy's transition to a degree-granting institution. Subject to the accreditation by a visiting panel of international experts next month, the Academy will be admitting its first degree level students in September this year. The ability of the Academy to offer degrees will not only testify to its high standards of professional training, but will also help to attract students of the highest calibre. The Academy is committed to achieving international artisartistictic standards. To keep abreast of such standards, master classes were held by visiting lecturers, and staff and students took part in several overseas seminars and performances. Public performance forms an important part of the training for students. IInn the period covered by the annual report, the students presented no less than 266 public performances before audiences exceeding 35 000 people. This experience stands them in good stead. Academy graduates now play a major role in Hong Kong's performing arts. Mr Deputy President, I am most gratified that the Academy had another very successful year. I am confident that the Academy will successfully go through the accreditation process next month and will become a degree-granting institution this summer. Report of the Public Accounts Committee on the Report of the Director of Audit on the Accounts of the Hong Kong Government for the year ended 31 March 1991 and the results of value for money Audits January 1992 P.A.C. Report No. 17 MR STEPHEN CHEONG: Mr Deputy President, the 17th Report of the Public Accounts Committee, tabled today, has been compiled following the Committee's investigations into matters raised in the Director of Audit's report on the accounts of the Hong Kong Government for the year ended 31 March 1991 and the results of value for money audits. On behalf of the Committee, I would like to pay tribute to our former Chairman, Mr Peter POON, who led this Committee so well during his term of office. I am privileged to be appointed his successor and would also like to thank my fellow members for their contribution to the work of the Committee in producing the 17th Report. Mr Deputy President, we are very sorry to learn from the newspapers of Committee Member Mr Stephen NG's illness. I am sure all Members would wish him a speedy recovery. Mr Deputy President, the Committee has been encouraged by the continuing improvement in standards of financial and resources management within the Government, and by the positive attitude adopted by the Administration towards the Director of Audit's recommendations in his Report No.

INTRODUcTION On July 1, 1997, jurisdiction- over Hong Kong will pass from Great Britain, which has ruled Hong Kong for over 150 years, to the People's Republic of China (PRC). As that date approaches, anxiety over Hong Kong's future as a financial and legal center increases. In an effort to ameliorate this growing anxiety, Daniel Fung, the first Chinese Solicitor General of Hong Kong,1 embarked on a month-long speaking tour in the United States. On February 8, 1996, he stopped at Loyola Law School, where he was the featured speaker at a conference organized by Loyola Marymount University's Center for Asian Business.

  • Six-Monthly Report on Hong Kong January-June 1998
    Six-monthly report on Hong Kong January-June 1998 Presented to Parliament by the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs by Command of Her Majesty July 1998 Six-monthly report on Hong Kong FOREWORD This is the third in the series of six monthly reports on the implementation of the Sino-British Joint Declaration on Hong Kong, which the Government has undertaken to present to Parliament during the lifetime of the Sino-British Joint Liaison Group (JLG). It covers the six months up to the first anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on 1 July. The British Government has continued to take the closest interest in developments in Hong Kong. I visited Hong Kong in January, when I had a good meeting with the Chief Executive. I also met a wide range of people, inside and outside government, and from all walks of life. Other Cabinet colleagues, including the Deputy Prime Minister, the President of the Board of Trade and the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, have also visited. This reflects our strong moral and political commitment towards Hong Kong and its people, and our responsibilities as a co-signatory to the Sino-British Joint Declaration. One year on from the handover, I believe that Britain, China and Hong Kong can be broadly satisfied with what has been achieved. The Asian financial crisis has cast a shadow over the Special Administrative Region's early life. The length and depth of the regional crisis have been greater than originally anticipated. But as far as the autonomy provided for in the Joint Declaration is concerned, the indications are positive.
