Since its founding in Guangzhou in 1888, Lingnan has nurtured generation after generation of talented graduates. As the liberal arts university in Hong Kong, Lingnan aims to cultivate in our students attributes such as a broad horizon, critical and creative thinking, sound moral judgment, a sense of responsibility and care for others. These qualities have become more valuable than ever in today’s increasingly globalised society, with deepening significance for both students and the community at large. Lingnan has decided to keep its undergraduate student number at around 2,600. As the smallest local university in terms of student population, Lingnan endeavours to make the best of its compact size, close faculty-student relationship and residential campus, in order to allow motivated, hard-working students to grow in all directions and develop their full potential. Our teaching and research staff shall continue to take advantage of the free and open environment here and dedicate themselves to educating our students, who can then serve not only Hong Kong, but also the region and the world. The Master of Science in International Banking and Finance (MIBF) programme is an example of our effort to serve the needs of Hong Kong and the international community. The overriding aim of this programme is to provide a broad-based set of problem-solving skills especially useful for those who are holding or anticipating positions as managers, financial analysts or economists in the banking and finance industry, big multinational corporations, government agencies and international organisations. The MIBF programme is unique in Hong Kong in that its internationally-oriented curriculum covers not only the core areas in banking, finance and economics, but also related topics in accounting, regulations and so on. Evidence indicates that the programme has generally achieved its aim. According to the recent MIBF graduate survey, about 90% of its graduates agree that the programme is helpful or extremely helpful in their career advancement. I am also glad to learn that virtually all surveyed graduates rate the overall programme quality as good or excellent. If you wish to build a bright career in the financial services sector, you need to equip yourselves properly and adequately for today’s complex and ever-changing challenges. Our MIBF programme would be a good choice for you as it provides you with the crucial training to turn challenges into opportunities. I sincerely invite you to consider our MIBF programme and look forward to welcoming you into our big family at Lingnan. Prof. Leonard K CHENG President, 2 Lingnan University Message from the Dean Professor WEI Xiangdong Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences Professor, Department of Economics BSc (Zhongshan); MSocSc, PhD (Birmingham) We are excited to introduce you to this distinctive Master of Science in International Banking and Finance (MIBF) Programme, hosted by the Economics Department of Lingnan University. Let us give you 10 strong reasons why this Programme deserves your serious consideration: 1. A strong host department: the Economics Department of Lingnan is ranked fifth among all economic research institutions in China*; 2. A broad-based and internationally oriented Programme curriculum that strikes a balance between theoretical and practical knowledge; 3. Excellent quality and satisfaction; 4. A dynamic mix of students with international cultures and experiences; 5. Over $1 million of scholarships and tuition waivers for outstanding local and non-local students; 6. Good opportunities for placement and further studies; 7. Subsidised local and overseas internships; 8. A comprehensive orientation programme; 9. Intensive summer refresher courses for those students who come from diverse background; 10. On-campus accommodation and vibrant campus life. The details of aforementioned reasons are presented in the following sections for your consideration. Last but not least, MIBF students now have the opportunity to earn the MIBF degree and another master’s degree from a reputable European University (either ESSCA in France or University of Leicester in the UK#) with merely one and half years of school time. This is a fantastic option for those students who want to broaden their field of expertise and acquire international learning experience in Europe. In summary, we sincerely recommend this Programme to you if you are serious in studying international banking and finance for a promising career in the industry or for advancing to a higher degree. Professor WEI Xiangdong Dean, Faculty of Social Science * YU Xiaohua and GAO Zhifeng (2010). An updated ranking of the economic research institutions in China. China Economic Review, 21, 579. #The double-degree programme with University of Leicester is subject to final approval of both universities. 3 A Strong Host Department: The Economics Department of Lingnan is Ranked Fifth Among All Economic Research Institutions in China The research performance of the Department is among the top Economics Departments in Hong Kong in terms of the latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) conducted by the Hong Kong University Grants Committee and the competitive research grants awarded by the same Committee. According to a recent study published in the China Economic Review*, Lingnan University is ranked fifth** among all economic research institutions in China (including Mainland, Hong Kong and Macau) in the period 2005 – 2009 based on the publications in top 50 economics journals in terms of the impact-factor-adjusted pages (ARPG). ARPG is a popular comprehensive measure that reflects both the quantity and the quality of institutions’ publications. Actually, Lingnan would rank even higher based on some other measures such as publications per head due to its relatively small size of the Economics Department. * YU Xiaohua and GAO Zhifeng (2010).

  • Review of Application No. A/Tm-Ltyy/362 Under Section 17 of the Town Planning Ordinance
    TPB Paper No. 10569 For Consideration by The Town Planning Board on 9.8.2019 REVIEW OF APPLICATION NO. A/TM-LTYY/362 UNDER SECTION 17 OF THE TOWN PLANNING ORDINANCE Proposed House (New Territories Exempted House (NTEH) - Small House) in “Residential (Group E)” and “Village Type Development” Zones, Lots 190 S.D RP and 190 S.E in D.D. 130, San Hing Tsuen, Lam Tei, Tuen Mun, New Territories 1. Background 1.1 On 19.11.2018, the applicant, To Chun Sing, who claims to be an indigenous villager of Nai Wai, sought planning permission for proposed house (New Territories Exempted House (NTEH) - Small House) under s.16 of the Town Planning Ordinance (the Ordinance). The application site (“the Site”) falls within an area zoned “Residential (Group E)” (“R(E)”) (84%) and “Village Type Development” (“V”) (16%) on the approved Lam Tei and Yick Yuen Outline Zoning Plan No. S/TM-LTYY/10 (the OZP) (Plan R-1). 1.2 On 3.5.2019, the Rural and New Town Planning Committee (RNTPC) of the Town Planning Board (the Board) decided to reject the application and the reason was land is still available within the “Village Type Development” (“V”) zone of Tsing Chuen Wai, Tuen Tsz Wai and San Hing Tsuen where land is primarily intended for Small House development. It is considered more appropriate to concentrate Small House development close to the existing village cluster within the “V” zone for more orderly development pattern, efficient use of land and provision of infrastructure and services. 1.3 For Members’ reference, the following documents are attached: (a) RNTPC Paper No.

  • Historic Building Appraisal 1 Tsang Tai Uk Sha Tin, N.T
    Historic Building Appraisal 1 Tsang Tai Uk Sha Tin, N.T. Tsang Tai Uk (曾大屋, literally the Big Mansion of the Tsang Family) is also Historical called Shan Ha Wai (山廈圍, literally, Walled Village at the Foothill). Its Interest construction was started in 1847 and completed in 1867. Measuring 45 metres by 137 metres, it was built by Tsang Koon-man (曾貫萬, 1808-1894), nicknamed Tsang Sam-li (曾三利), who was a Hakka (客家) originated from Wuhua (五華) of Guangdong (廣東) province which was famous for producing masons. He came to Hong Kong from Wuhua working as a quarryman at the age of 16 in Cha Kwo Ling (茶果嶺) and Shaukiwan (筲箕灣). He set up his quarry business in Shaukiwan having his shop called Sam Lee Quarry (三利石行). Due to the large demand for building stone when Hong Kong was developed as a city since it became a ceded territory of Britain in 1841, he made huge profit. He bought land in Sha Tin from the Tsangs and built the village. The completed village accommodated around 100 residential units for his family and descendents. It was a shelter of some 500 refugees during the Second World War and the name of Tsang Tai Uk has since been adopted.

  • According to Our List of 69 Slums
    15 December 2014 LIST OF REFUGEE SLUMS APPROVED BY ISS-HK Since 2006 International Social Service Hong Kong (ISS-HK) has deployed a systematic mechanism to settle refugees into slums and isolate them there along ethnic, racial and immigration lines. ISS- HK provides case-workers with lists of slum landlords to proactively lead refugees to distant, isolated ghettos where they are callously exploited by slum developers. Vision First condemns ISS-HK of conduct that reaches the threshold of Apartheid with the aim to segregate an undesirable social minority beyond public view. In this respect, we are extremely concerned about the knowledge and participation of the Hong Kong Government in the covert and unlawful slumification of refugees beyond public view. These long-term refugee slums demonstrate that it has been a clear ISS-HK policy and practice to not pay rental deposits and to segregate refugees into slums without providing them with the most basic necessities. We can only assume this is a long lasting and continuing breach of the Social Welfare Department’s housing specifications and a breach of the SWD – ISS-HK contract.

  • Cb(4)1306/14-15(04)
    CB(4)1306/14-15(04) Legislative Council Panel on Transport Planning of Transport Infrastructure in Northwest New Territories Introduction This paper aims to brief Members on the planning of transport infrastructure in Northwest New Territories (“NWNT”), including the matters in relation to the carrying capacity of the West Rail Line (“WRL”). Present Situation 2. At present, within NWNT, the population in Tuen Mun and Yuen Long are about 500 000 and 600 000 respectively. There are a number of major trunk roads constructed within the region, including Tuen Mun Road, Yuen Long Highway, Castle Peak Road, San Tin Highway, Kam Tin Highway, Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Corridor, Tai Lam Tunnel and Tsing Long Highway, etc., for the intra-district and inter-district connections which facilitate commuting to and from NWNT. In addition, the construction of the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link (“TM-CLKL”) is in full swing. When the project is completed, it will be the most direct route for connecting the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (“HZMB”), Hong Kong International Airport and North Lantau. 3. As far as railways are concerned, in tandem with the development and population growth in the region, the WRL and the Light Rail (“LR”) have been enhancing services to cope with the traffic needs of the residents. The commissioning of the Kowloon Southern Link of the WRL in 2009 has greatly reduced the segregation between NWNT and urban Kowloon. To facilitate passengers using the services of the WRL and LR, the MTR Corporation Limited (“MTRCL”) is also providing feeder bus services connecting to various stations of the WRL and LR stops to serve them.

  • Industry Overview
    INDUSTRY OVERVIEW The information provided in this section and elsewhere in this prospectus with respect to the cement and concrete industries in the PRC and the concrete industry in Hong Kong is derived from various official, unofficial and private and, or, government publications unless indicated otherwise. Such information has not been prepared or independently verified by the company, the sponsor or any of their respective directors, affiliates or advisors. Such information may not be consistent with other information available within or outside the PRC and may not be accurate and should not be unduly relied upon. INTRODUCTION Cement is an essential material for building and civil engineering construction. The terms cement andconcreteasusedincommonspeechareoftenusedinterchangeably,wheninfacttheyrepresent different materials. Cement acts as a bonding material which, when mixed with water, sand, aggregate and air, forms concrete. The average cement content in concrete is around 11% to 15% by volume. Cement is the ‘‘glue’’ which hardens and holds the sand and aggregates together to form concrete. There are two basic types of cement. Non-hydraulic cement is unstable in wet environments and will not harden in water. Hydraulic cement is stable in water and can harden and set in wet environments. In 1824, Portland cement, a type of hydraulic cement which is the most widely used cement in construction, was patented. TYPES OF CEMENT The various types of cement are produced by blending different proportions of gypsum, blast furnace slag or other additives with clinker. There are four common types of cement including ordinary Portland cement, Portland cement, Portland blast furnace slag cement, and composite Portland cement.
