Mrs Sophie LEUNG will address the Council on the "Independent Commission Against Corruption Complaints Committee Annual Report 2010". Independent Commission Against Corruption Complaints Committee Annual Report 2010 MRS SOPHIE LEUNG (in Cantonese): President, as a member of the Independent Commission Against Corruption Complaints Committee (the Committee), I hereby table the Independent Commission Against Corruption Complaints Committee Annual Report 2010 (Annual Report) on behalf of the Committee. This is the sixteenth Annual Report published by the Committee which provides a summary of the work of the Committee for the year 2010. The Committee's major responsibility is to monitor the handling by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) of non-criminal complaints lodged by anyone against the ICAC and its officers, and exercise independent judgment. Moreover, the Committee will review the relevant working procedures and make 13480 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 6 July 2011 recommendations for improvement where it considers appropriate. To enhance public understanding of the ICAC's complaint handling mechanism, this report also explains in detail the function and mode of operation of the Committee. In 2010, the Committee held three meetings to consider papers and investigation reports on 25 complaints involving 67 allegations. In respect of the five allegations in four of the complaints which were found to be substantiated, the relevant ICAC officers were already given appropriate advice. Through examination of the complaints and relevant issues, the Committee has carefully scrutinized the existing ICAC internal procedures, guidelines and practices to see whether they need to be revised, with a view to making improvements. Arising from the investigation reports considered during the year 2010, the ICAC has reminded its officers to adhere to the relevant internal guidelines in respect of work procedures in order to upkeep the professionalism of the ICAC. The publication of the Annual Report enables the Committee to brief the public on its work on a regular basis. It can also enhance the accountability and transparency of the Committee's work. Should Members have any comments on the Annual Report, they are welcome to forward their views to the Secretary of the Committee. The support of this Council and members of the public to the work of the Committee is very much appreciated. Thank you, President. PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Mr CHAN Kam-lam will address the Council on the "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Independent Commission Against Corruption Annual Report 2010". Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Independent Commission Against Corruption Annual Report 2010 MR CHAN KAM-LAM (in Cantonese): President, as a member of the Advisory Committee on Corruption, I have great honour to brief Members on the "Independent Commission Against Corruption Annual Report 2010" tabled in the Council today. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 6 July 2011 13481 In 2010, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) continued to adopt its three-pronged strategy of law enforcement, prevention and community education to discharge its statutory duty in the fight against corruption, whilst members of the community continued to express their trust and support. Despite the lingering aftershocks of the global financial crisis, the total number of corruption reports stood at 3 427 in 2010, representing a slight decrease of 1% over 3 450 in 2009; amongst them, the number of pursuable reports was 2 663, or 78% of the total, an increase of 5% over that recorded in 2009. The case-based conviction rate was as high as 88%, while the proportion of non-anonymous reports reached 74%, reflecting continuous enhancement of public integrity and vigilance.

  • The Status of Cantonese in the Education Policy of Hong Kong Kwai Sang Lee and Wai Mun Leung*
    Lee and Leung Multilingual Education 2012, 2:2 http://www.multilingual-education.com/2/1/2 RESEARCH Open Access The status of Cantonese in the education policy of Hong Kong Kwai Sang Lee and Wai Mun Leung* * Correspondence: waimun@ied. Abstract edu.hk Department of Chinese, The Hong After the handover of Hong Kong to China, a first-ever policy of “bi-literacy and Kong Institute of Education, Hong tri-lingualism” was put forward by the Special Administrative Region Government. Kong Under the trilingual policy, Cantonese, the most dominant local language, equally shares the official status with Putonghua and English only in name but not in spirit, as neither the promotion nor the funding approaches on Cantonese match its legal status. This paper reviews the status of Cantonese in Hong Kong under this policy with respect to the levels of government, education and curriculum, considers the consequences of neglecting Cantonese in the school curriculum, and discusses the importance of large-scale surveys for language policymaking. Keywords: the status of Cantonese, “bi-literacy and tri-lingualism” policy, language survey, Cantonese language education Background The adjustment of the language policy is a common phenomenon in post-colonial societies. It always results in raising the status of the regional vernacular, but the lan- guage of the ex-colonist still maintains a very strong influence on certain domains. Taking Singapore as an example, English became the dominant language in the work- place and families, and the local dialects were suppressed. It led to the degrading of both English and Chinese proficiency levels according to scholars’ evaluation (Goh 2009a, b).

  • The RTHK Coverage of the 2004 Legislative Council Election Compared with the Commercial Broadcaster
    Mainstream or Alternative? The RTHK Coverage of the 2004 Legislative Council Election Compared with the Commercial Broadcaster so Ming Hang A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy in Government and Public Administration © The Chinese University of Hong Kong June 2005 The Chinese University of Hong Kong holds the copyright of this thesis. Any person(s) intending to use a part or whole of the materials in the thesis in a proposed publication must seek copyright release from the Dean of the Graduate School. 卜二,A館書圆^^ m 18 1 KK j|| Abstract Theoretically, public broadcaster and commercial broadcaster are set up and run by two different mechanisms. Commercial broadcaster, as a proprietary organization, is believed to emphasize on maximizing the profit while the public broadcaster, without commercial considerations, is usually expected to achieve some objectives or goals instead of making profits. Therefore, the contribution by public broadcaster to the society is usually expected to be different from those by commercial broadcaster. However, the public broadcasters are in crisis around the world because of their unclear role in actual practice. Many politicians claim that they cannot find any difference between the public broadcasters and the commercial broadcasters and thus they asserted to cut the budget of public broadcasters or even privatize all public broadcasters. Having this unstable situation of the public broadcasting, the role or performance of the public broadcasters in actual practice has drawn much attention from both policy-makers and scholars. Empirical studies are divergent on whether there is difference between public and commercial broadcaster in actual practice.
