Mr LEE Wing-tat, Mr WONG Sing-chi and the Secretary for Transport and Housing will respectively address the Council on six items of subsidiary legislation in relation to the Public Bus Services Ordinance, which were laid on the table of the Council on 1 February 2012. Schedule of Routes (Citybus Limited) Order 2012, Schedule of Routes (Citybus Limited) (North Lantau and Chek Lap Kok Airport) Order 2012, Schedule of Routes (Kowloon Motor Bus Company (1933) Limited) Order 2012, Schedule of Routes (Long Win Bus Company Limited) Order 2012, Schedule of Routes (New Lantao Bus Company (1973) Limited) Order 2012 and Schedule of Routes (New World First Bus Services Limited) Order 2012 MR LEE WING-TAT (in Cantonese): President, today, I will address the Council on six items of subsidiary legislation concerning changes to bus routes. The six Orders are the Schedule of Routes (Citybus Limited) Order 2012, Schedule of Routes (Citybus Limited) (North Lantau and Chek Lap Kok Airport) Order 2012, Schedule of Routes (Kowloon Motor Bus Company (1933) Limited) 6968 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 21 March 2012 Order 2012, Schedule of Routes (Long Win Bus Company Limited) Order 2012, Schedule of Routes (New Lantao Bus Company (1973) Limited) Order 2012 and Schedule of Routes (New World First Bus Services Limited) Order 2012. The six Orders formalize the changes introduced to the bus routes of the relevant franchised bus companies. The changes have been made to better serve the travelling public and improve the efficiency of bus operation. In my view, the Government should not give a narrow description of the scope and essence of the six Orders. The "updated schedules of routes" only refers to the administrative aspects of the six Orders, the Government should, through these six Orders, better serve the travelling public and improve the efficiency of bus operation. Generally speaking, I believe members of the Subcommittee to scrutinize the Six Orders and the Government would want to enhance the overall quality of bus services. Apart from routes, I think the accuracy of service schedules is also an important aspect in enhancing service quality and operation efficiency. Hence, apart from introducing changes to bus routes by means of the six Orders, the Government should set a clear and objective benchmark for the lost trip rates of bus routes, so as to enhance the accuracy of service schedules. Originally, I intend to move an amendment to the six Orders to set a clear and objective benchmark for the lost trip rates of bus services. The proposed amendment is to amend the six Orders by adding a benchmark for deviation from the relevant Schedule of Services, so as to ensure that the lost trip rates of bus companies can be kept at an acceptable level. I proposed to set the benchmark at 3% and suggested that if the average quarterly lost trip rates of any specified bus route of bus companies exceed 3%, the bus company should be deemed by the Chief Executive in Council as having failed to maintain a proper and efficient public bus service in respect of that specified route. Unfortunately, the Government has not proposed a relevant amendment or set a benchmark for the lost trip rates.

  • Latest Government Housing Measures (October 2011)
    Third Quarter Economic Report 2011 Box 3.1 Latest Government housing measures (October 2011) In order to ensure a healthy and stable development of the property market and help low and middle-income families buy their own homes, in the 2011-12 Policy Address the Chief Executive put forward a new policy of resumption of the Home Ownership Scheme, the enhanced My Home Purchase Plan and another package of measures to expand land resources. The major measures are summarised below : (1) New Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) ¾ The new HOS will target households with monthly income below $30,000. ¾ Prices of flats with a saleable floor area of 400-500 square feet will be set with reference to the mortgage repayment ability of eligible households, with mortgage repayment not more than 40% of the household income. ¾ More than 17 000 flats would be provided over four years from 2016-17 onwards, with an annual production of 2 500-6 500 flats. 2 500 flats will be made available in 2016/17, and will be ready for pre-sale in 2014 or 2015. ¾ The Government will set the planning target at 5 000 flats a year on average as more sites become available. Depending on the market conditions, the Government may adjust the number of subsidised flats to be built and sold for the year, or even stop building and selling such flats. ¾ Regarding resale restrictions, within the first five years from the date of purchase, owners may only sell their flats to green form applicants or the Housing Authority (HA). After five years, owners may sell their flats on the open market after paying a premium to the HA.

  • Legislative Council Panel on Housing My Home Purchase Plan Purpose
    CB(1) 699/11-12(03) Legislative Council Panel on Housing My Home Purchase Plan Purpose This paper briefs Members on the progress of the My Home Purchase Plan (MHPP). The MHPP 2. The 2010/11 Policy Address in October 2010 announced that the Government would, in collaboration with the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS), introduce the MHPP which was premised on the concept of “rent-and-buy”. The objective is to help households which have the long-term ability to purchase a flat but do not have enough savings for the down payment to rent a MHPP flat first at the then prevailing market rental and save up for the future home purchase plan. The maximum tenancy period is five years. To allow tenants to save, the rent will not be adjusted during the tenancy period. When the MHPP tenants subsequently purchase a MHPP flat or a flat in the private market, HKHS will grant them a purchase subsidy which is equivalent to half of the net rental paid by the tenants during the tenancy period. 3. The 2011/12 Policy Address in October 2011 announced various enhancement measures to the MHPP. Under the enhancement measures, apart from the proposed “rent-and-buy” mode, a “buy-or-rent” option which allows participants to buy their MHPP flats direct at market price without going through a rental period will also be offered. 4. Another enhancement measure is that those who opt for the “rent-and-buy” mode may purchase MHPP flats within a prescribed period at the “ceiling price” or at the then prevailing market price of the flats, whichever is the lower.

  • Major Achievements of the Third Term Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
    Major Achievements of the Third Term Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Major Achievements of the Third Term Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Introduction After assuming office in 2007, the Chief Executive announced a five- year blueprint for the Third Term Government, advocating the concept of “Progressive Development” — promoting economic growth, boosting employment and improving the living environment through infrastructural development; attaching importance to environmental protection and heritage conservation in pursuing further development; and adopting a multi-pronged approach to foster social mobility and reduce cross-generational poverty by improving the livelihood of low- income people and investing heavily in education. Over the past five years, the Third Term Government spared no effort in fulfilling our policy commitments. On people’s livelihood, we rolled out various direct relief measures and long-term initiatives to help families in need and the underprivileged. We fully implemented the statutory minimum wage; extended free education to 12 years, started subsidising pre- school education and introduced small-class teaching; and increased substantially the funding for public healthcare services to enhance their quality. 1 Major Achievements of the Third Term Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region On environmental protection, we strove to reduce the development intensity, conserve Central, beautify the harbourfront and promote the use of clean energy for electricity generation. On economic development, we pressed ahead with large-scale infrastructure projects, made timely responses to the financial tsunami, strengthened the pillar industries, and further enhanced economic co-operation between Hong Kong and the Mainland. We also took action to develop the six industries where Hong Kong enjoys clear advantages to broaden our economic base.

Browne Liberal Arts Research Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Ford Risley Professor of Communications Associate Dean of the College of Communications *Signatures are on file in the graduate school. ii ABSTRACT The period following an occupied social movement is often overlooked, yet it is an important moment in time as political and economic systems are potentially vulnerable. In 2014, after Hong Kong’s Chief Executive declared that the citizens of Hong Kong would be unable to democratically elect their leader in the upcoming 2017 election, a 79-day occupation of major city centers ensued. The memory of the three-month occupation, also known as the Umbrella Movement was instrumental in shaping a political identity for Hong Kong’s residents. Understanding social movements as a process and not a singular event, an analytic mode that problematizes linear temporal constructions, can help us move beyond the deterministic and celebratory views often associated with technology’s role in social movement activism.
