First question. Problems of Youngsters' Addiction to Violent Electronic Games 1. MR MARTIN LIAO (in Cantonese): It has been reported that the suspects of several family homicide cases, which happened recently, are youngsters addicted to playing online violent electronic games (online games) at home. In addition, there have been reported incidents from time to time in which youngsters, who had been addicted to online games, quarrelled with their parents or even beat their parents who had tried to stop them from playing online games. Given that such incidents of family tragedies and family violence have aroused public concern about the impact of violent electronic games on youngsters' mental development, will the Government inform this Council: (a) whether it has conducted any focus studies on the correlation between violent electronic games and crimes of violence; if it has, of the details, and whether the results of such studies have shown a positive correlation between these two factors; if not, whether it will consider conducting such studies; whether it has compiled statistics on cases of youngsters who had suffered mental disorder as a result of addiction to such games in the past five years; if so, of such statistics; if not, whether it will compile such statistics; (b) whether it has drawn up policies and measures to help youngsters addicted to violent electronic games; if so, of the details; if not, the reasons for that; of the government bodies and community LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 5 June 2013 12905 organizations in Hong Kong which currently provide psychological counselling and assistance to such youngsters; and (c) given that some psychologists have pointed out that "home-staying men" who are addicted to online games often lack communication skills and have difficulties in making friends, resulting in the development of radical personality, whether the Government will consider enhancing contents such as self-understanding and social skills in the secondary school curriculum, and providing specialized counselling and support services for youngsters addicted to online games and surfing the Internet, so as to instil in them correct values and help them establish good interpersonal relationship? SECRETARY FOR LABOUR AND WELFARE (in Cantonese): The problems of Internet and violent electronic games addiction among young people involve different policy areas under various government bureaux. Having consolidated the information from the bureaux concerned, our reply to Mr Martin LIAO's question is as follows: (a) The Administration has not conducted any focus studies on the correlation between violent electronic games and violent crimes or compiled any statistics on cases of young people who had mental health problems as a result of addiction to such games in the past five years. In fact, violent crimes and adolescent mental health are very complex issues involving a number of factors such as social environment, academic pressure, family and emotional problems, and so on. It is thus difficult to assess whether violent crimes and adolescent mental health are directly related to the addiction of violent electronic games and the degree of its impact. (b) The Social Welfare Department (SWD) has been providing young people and their parents with socialization programmes and holistic supportive services through 138 integrated children and youth services centres across the territory, 65 integrated family service centres and two integrated services centres in Tung Chung. Services include prevention of Internet and electronic games addiction among young people, parent support programmes as well 12906 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 5 June 2013 as counselling. At the same time, the SWD has been implementing the "one school social worker for each secondary school" scheme in all secondary schools over the territory to focus on supporting the majority of young people who are still at school. Besides, the SWD has commissioned three non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to each launch a three-year pilot cyber youth outreaching project (pilot project) since August 2011. The pilot projects use various cyber means to reach out to young people in need, including those at-risk and hidden youth, and provide them with timely intervention and supportive services on their Internet related at-risk behaviour. On the other hand, the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer launched the five-year "i Learn at home" Internet Learning Support Programme (the Programme) in July 2011 to help students from low-income families undertake web-based learning at home. Apart from assisting low-income families to acquire affordable computers and Internet access services, the Programme also provides these families with user and social support, including training on the safe and proper use of the Internet. The implementing organizations are required to set up hotlines to provide counselling services to help students and their parents deal with online behavioural problems including Internet addiction. Referral to social workers will be arranged where necessary. The Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration (OFNAA) has also been educating children and young people on the importance of healthy information and enhancing their ability to resist the influence of objectionable materials through various publicity and public education programmes.

    Annex A HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT IN RESPECT OF THE YAU MA TEI THEATRE PHASE 2 AT YAU MA TEI, KOWLOON BACKGROUND A project has been proposed by Leisure and Cultural Services Department (“LCSD”) to use the vacated area after the relocation of three existing public facilities adjacent to Yau Ma Tei Theatre (“YMTT”), i.e. Shanghai Street Refuse Collection Point, public toilet and street sleepers’ services units, for the development of YMTT Phase 2. It will provide new venue to support development of traditional Chinese performing arts and promote the valuable intangible cultural heritage. Relocation and demolition of the three existing public facilities are not under the project scope. 2. YMTT was completed in 1930. It is the only surviving pre-World War II purpose-built cinema theatre in urban area. It ceased operation in 1998. The location plan and project area are shown in Figure 1. 3. YMTT is a rectangular structure, occupying a footprint measuring around 18 x 45 meters. It is composed of three sections that are recognizable from its external appearance. The front section houses a lobby with a ticket booth and a snack shop on the ground floor, and a projector room on the upper floor. The middle section houses an auditorium and a screen stage under a pitched roof. The rear section houses a back stage flanked by male and female toilets. 4. YMTT was accorded Grade 2 status by the Antiquities Advisory Board on 18 December 2009. STATEMENT OF CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE A. Historical and Social Significance 5. Completed in 1930, YMTT is the only surviving pre-war cinema theatre in the urban areas of Hong Kong.

    The Hong Kong Education System The essentials of HONG KONG Schooling Systems Explained ITS Education Asia www.itseducation.asia The Hong Kong Education System Hong Kong operates a vibrant and competitive international and local school sector with schools offering curricula of the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong and the International Baccalaureate. Many schools also identify with a particular country (such as Japan, Singapore, Canada or France) and offer separate English and foreign-language sections. There are also an increasing number of private independent schools that emphasize a compulsory Mandarin Chinese component, reflecting Mandarin’s growing influence in Hong Kong. LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEM There are three main types of local schools – government schools which are operated by the Government; aided schools which are fully subvented by the Government but run by voluntary bodies; and private schools, some of which receive financial assistance from the Government. Government and aided schools deliver a curriculum recommended by the Government. They offer free primary and secondary education. Primary Schools Primary schooling starts at the age of six and there are 6 years of schooling at the primary level. There are three modes of operation in the primary schools, namely AM, PM and whole-day. Encouraged by the Government, most primary schools are adopting whole-day operation. Admission to Primary One is through the Discretionary Places (DP) stage and the Central Allocation (CA) stage. At the DP stage, parents can apply for admission to only one government or aided primary school of their preference, and admission is based on the criteria prescribed by the EDB (Education Department Bureau).
