I wish Members success in everything, coming first in all endeavours and great achievements in all attempts. Questions. First question. Creation of New Jobs in Public Sector 1. MR LEUNG YIU-CHUNG (in Cantonese): Madam President, the unemployment rate continued to rise throughout last year and reached 6.1% in the last quarter. Given that the Chief Executive stated on the 30th of last month that the Government would create some 2 000 jobs in addition to the 30 000-plus job opportunities to be created in the public sector as pledged in the 2001 policy address, will the Government inform this Council: (a) of the progress in and the detailed schedule for creating the additional jobs, together with a breakdown by job type; and (b) whether it has formulated new measures, apart from the relief measures stated in its reply to this Council on November 7 last year, to tackle the unemployment problem; if so, of the details of such measures? Note The year "壬午" refers to the year 2002. "壬 " is the ninth of the ten Heavenly Stems, whereas "午 " is the seventh of the twelve Earthly Branches. The combinations of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches produce a 60-year Chinese calendar cycle, whereby each year is represented by a pair of a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch. 3830 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 27 February 2002 SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER (in Cantonese): Madam President, as a result of the dual effect of the deterioration of the external economic environment and the economic restructuring within Hong Kong, the latest quarterly unemployment rate has reached 6.7%. The number of unemployed persons was close to 220 000. In the near term, the unemployment rate is likely to remain high. In fact, a reversal of economic growth is the world trend and is beyond human control. Furthermore, the Government's financial position is extremely tight, and is not able to create a massive number of jobs. To thoroughly address unemployment, any improvement in the unemployment situation must ultimately be driven by the economy and directed by the market to create job opportunities. In the long term, we must upgrade the quality of our workforce and minimize any mismatch between supply and demand. (a) The Chief Executive stated last month that after much hard work by various government departments, it is estimated that an additional 2 000 short-term jobs will be created. Out of these, it is anticipated that about 1 800 will be created by 2002-03. These short-term jobs include clerks, information technology officers, community relations assistants, fire safety supervisors, seafarers, security guards, microfilming system officers, health care assistants, programme assistants, employment assistance co-ordinators, medical services assistants, and so on. The detailed information is set out in Annex. (b) With due regard for our long-term development needs, we will continue with our efforts to explore the possibility of creating more jobs in areas with actual needs to ease the unemployment problem. The Immigration Department, the police and the Labour Department will enhance enforcement to combat illegal employment. This includes intercepting illegal immigrants and prosecuting those who employ illegal immigrants and illegal workers, so as to protect the employment opportunities of local workers. On the other hand, with due regard to Hong Kong's long-term strategic development, the Government is actively developing new economic sectors, improving business environment, expanding the development space for enterprises and encouraging investment with LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 27 February 2002 3831 a view to creating more employment opportunities. In recent years, the Government is actively promoting tourism, the logistics industry and financial services industry. We also step up economic co- operation with the Mainland and invest heavily in manpower training to cater for the needs of economic development. These initiatives will help resolve the unemployment problem. In the longer term, to cope with a manpower mismatch brought about by economic restructuring, we have to change the traditional mode of education and nurture a new generation that have a creative mind and the abilities of self-learning and adaptation. We must also strengthen vocational training and encourage lifelong learning to improve the competitiveness of local workers in the employment market. The Government has also embarked on the formulation of a population policy. On the one hand, we have to attract more talents to come to work in Hong Kong so as to foster investment and facilitate the growth of a knowledge-based economy.

Cross-boundary Transport Hub at Siu Ho Wan Background Siu Ho Wan is strategically located close to the North Lantau Highway Connection (NLHC) of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) and has the potential to serve as a transport interchange for cross-boundary traffic. A possible location of the cross-boundary transport hub is at MTR Siu Ho Wan Depot. The depot occupies 30 ha of land, with flexibility built into the design for retrofitting development above the depot. MTR access to Siu Ho Wan on the Tung Chung Line could be provided by the construction of an additional station, subject to Government’s approval for the station and authorization under the relevant Ordinance. The cross-boundary transport hub has the potential to be a major transport interchange, providing park-and-ride facilities, a MTR station and a public transport interchange.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS AND KEY ISSUES 4. POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS REFERENCES ABBREVIATIONS 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Background 1.1.1 The HK2030: Planning Vision and Strategy (Main Study) is a strategic planning study tasked with preparing a strategic land use planning framework for Hong Kong for a period of 30 years. It will address ‘how much, what type and where land for development should be provided’. 1.1.2 The Government is committed to supporting and promoting sustainable development and to this end major policy and strategy initiatives must undergo a sustainability assessment. Under the overall goal of adhering to the principle of sustainable development, a planning objective of the HK2030 Study is to provide a good quality living environment. To achieve this, we need to strike a balance in the demand for, and supply of, environmental resources and a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is being undertaken as an integral part of the HK2030 Study. 1.1.3 To put the SEA into context, it is important to note that the Main Study involves four key stages of work viz: Stage 1: Agenda Setting, Baseline Review and Identification of Key Issues Stage 2: Examination of Key Issues Stage 3: Formulation and Evaluation of Scenarios and Options Stage 4: Formulation of Development Strategies and Response Plans 1.1.4 The SEA is being integrated with the Main Study by providing environmental input at all stages.

  • History and Reorganisation
    HISTORY AND REORGANISATION OUR HISTORY Over the last 120 years, we have been generating and supplying electricity to Hong Kong, serving A1A 29(1),(2) CO Sch 3 a pivotal role throughout Hong Kong’s economic transformation. We can trace our origins back to 1889 para 21 and 29 when HEC, our principal operating subsidiary, was incorporated in Hong Kong. Since lighting up the first electric street lamps in Hong Kong in 1890, we have continued to serve the community in Hong Kong for generations. We have been and are the sole electricity provider to Hong Kong Island and Lamma Island. We have continually expanded our capacity to meet the ever growing energy needs of Hong Kong. HEC’s first power station in Wan Chai commenced commercial operations in 1890. A second power station at North Point commenced commercial operations in 1919. A third power station at Ap Lei Chau commenced commercial operations in 1968. Since 1990, Lamma Power Station has been our sole power generation facility and is located on an approximately 85.8-hectare site at Po Lo Tsui on Lamma Island. As at 30 September 2013, the Lamma Power Station had an aggregate installed capacity of approximately 3,737 MW and we had approximately 568,000 registered customers on Hong Kong Island and Lamma Island. For further details, see “Business”. Our operations are subject to the Scheme of Control entered into with the Hong Kong Government. The first Scheme of Control was entered into in 1980 for a term of 15 years beginning on 1 January 1979 and it was renewed in 1993 for a similar term until the end of 2008.

  • A Relational Geography of Heritage in Post-1997 Hong Kong
    A RELATIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF HERITAGE IN POST-1997 HONG KONG by Lachlan Barber B.A., The University of King’s College, 2004 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2014 © Lachlan Barber, 2014 Abstract The central question of this dissertation is: what can Hong Kong teach us about the geography of heritage? The study considers the discursive transformation of cultural heritage as a feature of Hong Kong’s transition since the 1997 retrocession to Chinese sovereignty. Specifically, it traces the contradictory growth of interest in heritage as an urban amenity on the part of the government, and its simultaneous framing as a socio-political critique of neoliberal governance on the part of actors in civil society. The study analyses these dynamics from a perspective attentive to the relationships – forged through various forms of mobility and comparison – between Hong Kong and other places including mainland China, Great Britain, and urban competitors. The project relies on data gathered through English-language research conducted over a period of two and a half years. Sixty in-depth interviews were carried out with experts, activists, professionals and politicians in Hong Kong. Extensive surveys of government documents, the print and online media, and archival materials were undertaken. Other methods employed include site visits and participant observation. The methodology was oriented around the analysis of processes of heritage policy and contestation over a number of sites in Central, Hong Kong and surrounding districts where contradictory visions of the meaning of heritage have played out materially.
