Rogerio “Roger” Hyndman Lobo the Brother-In-Law of Two District 345 Governors and the Father-In-Law of a District 3450 Governor by Herbert K Dr. The Honourable Sir Rogerio “Roger” Hyndman Lobo the Brother-in-Law of two District 345 Governors and the Father-in-Law of a District 3450 Governor By Herbert K. Lau (劉敬恒) (Rotary China Historian) 1 August 2015 The Rotary Club of Hong Kong (香港扶輪社) is used to be the home of a number of prominent Rotarians who were bestowed Knight Bachelors by the King or Queen of Great Britain. To name just a few, there were: (1) Sir William W. Hornell (康寧爵士), Charter President 1931; (2) Sir Kenneth Fung (馮秉芬爵士), President 1949-1950, District 345 Governor 1961-1962; (3) Sir Rogerio H. Lobo (羅保爵士); (4) Dato Seri Paduka Sir T. L. Yang (拿督楊鐵樑爵士), President 1983-1984; (5) Sir Harry Fang (方心讓爵士) … … the list may be longer. An Honorary Rotarian of The Rotary Club of Hong Kong. Dr. The Honourable Sir Rogerio “Roger” Hyndman Lobo, Kt, CBE, OBE, LLD, JP (15 September 1923 - 18 April 2015), was a Hong Kong-Macanese businessman of Portuguese and Scottish descent and was an active philanthropist and politician in Hong Kong. Rotarian Roger was famous for his《Lobo Motion》in Legislative Council of Hong Kong during the negotiation of the future of Hong Kong between the United Kingdom and the People’s Republic of China. On 14 March 1984, Roger tabled the Motion in the Legislative Council: “This Council deems it essential that any proposals for the future of Hong Kong should be debated in this Council before any final agreement is reached.” Roger’s father settled in Macao century ago from Portuguese Timor and married Branca Hyndman. Thus Roger could trace his family to Henry Hyndman, a Scottish sea captain who served in the English East India Company at Singapore and settled in Macao at the beginning of the 20th century. Captain Hyndman's son, Roger's great grandfather, lived to be over ninety years old and was much respected and loved as a 1 former teacher at the Macao Government Lyceum. An extract from an article in the 《Macao Tribune》on December 25, 1943, appears in J.P. Braga's book《The Portuguese in Hong Kong and China》: “Across the street there lived a nona-genarian than whom Macao could boast of none more upright, wise and good. It is extraordinary how my whole outlook on life was so deeply influenced by this grand old man. His was a life that inspired others with devotion to duty, his was the heart that harboured no malice against anyone. Rather, to him used to come old and young when they needed advice.” The above excerpt is convinced that traditions of philanthropy and community service were perpetuated through the family. And Roger freely admitted that his penchant for public service and his concern for community welfare were inspired by his parents. After studying at the Lyceum in Macao and La Salle College in Hong Kong, Roger entered his father's business in 1945. He soon found himself immersed in deeds of philanthropy. As a founder member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce (JCC) in Hong Kong, and later its President, he, together with a group of friends, started the practice of taking children from squatter areas on outings to the beach, airport or just for a walk through town. The desperate poverty of the squatters in the years just after the War could be judged from the fact that the JCC had to ‘hire’ the children so as to compensate their parents for the loss of revenue resulting from their afternoon off. The giving of one’s time is the most valuable gift of all and for half of a century. Roger has continued to spend time freely on many, many charitable committees in addition to his life appointment as a Justice of Peace for Hong Kong (香港太平紳士): such as, Society for the Deaf, Society for the Blind, Caritas Committee and the Community Chest. In the field of public service, he has served on the Advisory Committee on Corruption, Tenancy Tribunal and the Medical Development Advisory Committee. Roger has been appointed as a Member of the Urban Council (香港市政局委任議員) on 1 April 1965 and served until 1978. Concurrently, he was an Unofficial Member of the Executive Council (香港行政局非官守議員) between 1967 and 1985, the Legislative Council (香港立法局非官守議員) between 1972 and 1985, and simultaneously the Senior Unofficial Member (首席非官守議員) between 1980 and 1985. On the other hand, Roger has served, as a volunteer, in the Civil Aid Services long enough to have received its long service medal in 1970 and has been its Commissioner (香港民眾安全服務處處長) since 1977. From 1989 until 1997, Roger served Hong Kong Broadcasting Authority as Chairman (香港廣播事務管理局主席). All this has been done while carrying on his business and raising a large family of which he is justifiably proud. Having grown up in a close and happy family and having in turn provided an ideal home for his children, Roger was convinced that the key to a stable and contented society is to be found in the family and the provision of a healthy environment for it to grow in. His concern for the improvement of the quality of life in Hong Kong has led to his advocacy of such widely divergent projects as the provision of mobile and floating libraries, control of hawkers and home ownership programmes. He has not been afraid to face controversy and has frequently let his conscience be his guide in matters 2 involving public welfare. His pronouncements had earned for him, in some quarters, the title of ‘Sandwich Man’. This was not meant to be a reference to his eating habits, nor was it meant to be a reference to an earlier career in advertising. It was a reference to his championing of the growing number of people who find themselves squeezed in the middle rungs of the local financial ladder, and his use of the word to describe their situation. Roger had been decorated by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom with the Officer of The Most Excellent Order of The British Empire (O.B.E.) in 1972 and later a higher Order of Commander (C.B.E.) in 1978. In 1984, Roger was one more time bestowed by Queen Elizabeth II a Knight Bachelor. For his long and loyal public services extending over thirty years, the University of Hong Kong, in 1982, conferred to Roger a Degree of Doctor of Laws (honoris causa).

(photo credit: South China Morning Post 1988) Roger was married to Margaret Mary Choa (the sister of 2 District 345 governors, Robert Choa (蔡永興) 1971-1972 and George Choa (蔡永善) 1979-1980, both of the Hong Kong Rotary Club). The couple had 5 sons and 5 daughters, as well as 28 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. Roger’s daughter Roselyn is married to “Andy” Andres Lenin Guillen (桂安狄), Victoria Rotary Club (維多利亞扶輪社) President 1987-1988, and later the District 3450 Governor in 1991-1992. Andy was then the Honorary Consul of Panama in Hong Kong. Since 1997, Andy and family have returned to native country Panama, and now is a member of The Rotary Club of La Chorrera in Panama. ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** 3 Obituary: Sir Roger Lobo, Hong Kong lawmaker who sought transparency on pre- handover talks Gary Cheung《South China Morning Post》 Tuesday, 21 April 2015 Sir Roger Lobo 1923-2015 A former lawmaker whose 1984 attempt to lift the veil of secrecy over Sino-British negotiations on the future of Hong Kong sparked suspicion in Beijing has died at the age of 91. Roger Lobo, a Macau-born entrepreneur and one of the most respected members of the city’s Portuguese community, died of cancer on Saturday. His public service - for which he received a knighthood - included years on the Executive Council, as an acting and later a full member from 1967 to 1985. He was also a lawmaker, becoming senior member of the Legislative Council from 1980 to 1985. One of his best-known acts was moving the so-called Lobo Motion, which demanded a full debate in LegCo before Britain and China reached a final agreement on Hong Kong. “The purpose of this motion is very simple. It means what it says - no more - and one might think that it could not be easily misunderstood or misrepresented,” he told lawmakers after Beijing implied it was a bid to intervene in talks. “The acceptability of any proposed settlement lies in whether people believe that its terms will be respected and will endure,” he said. “Faith cannot be created by orders. Trust cannot be induced by the exercise of power. And no settlement which fails to engender trust can possibly preserve our stability and prosperity. “Finally, for those who questioned the wisdom of this debate, I believe that it has amply justified itself.” 4 It was passed unanimously, six months before the Sino-British Joint Declaration. In 1989, he worked with business leaders and former civil servants to found the Vision 2047 Foundation, to build global understanding of Hong Kong. Former governor David Wilson said he was saddened by Lobo's death. “He had a profound love of Hong Kong and a deep commitment to public service, demonstrated by his membership of the Executive Council, his service in the Legislative Council including the very important position of senior member, and many other significant roles serving the community of Hong Kong.” Former senior LegCo member and senior unofficial member of the Executive Council Lydia Dunn hailed her “tireless and selfless” colleague. “I am deeply saddened by news of Sir Roger Lobo’s death.

  • The Founder of the Brothers of the Christian School, Patron of All
    The Hong Kong Lasallian Story 1875-2007 Our Founder The Founder of the Brothers of the Christian School, St. John Baptist de La Salle (1651-1719), was an extraordinary man. Perhaps you could call him a man of surprises. For purposes of this chapter, we highlight two. Firstly, although De La Salle himself was a priest, he would not permit the members of the Institute he founded to become priests lest they should be turned aside from their principal function, and he was convinced that their vocation could lead them to authentic sanctity1. Secondly, members of his Institute were to be called Brothers. They were to be Brothers first among themselves and also elder brothers to the students confided to their care. To them, to be a Brother is a profession as well as a vocation. The mission as he saw it was to give a human and Christian education to the young, paying particular attention to the poor and the needy. He had walked the streets of his native city, Reims, in France, and saw first hand the dire need for this work. The children were wandering around the streets aimlessly or mixing with bad company and getting into trouble with the law. Their parents were working all day and so had little time to take care of them. As a very practical man, he realized that the key to success lay with finding and forming good teachers, not an easy task in those days. He believed that ‘good teachers make good schools’. Throughout his life, and despite great opposition from both Church and State, he worked tirelessly to establish quality Christian schools.
