Mr Albert HO will address the Council on the "Independent Commission Against Corruption Complaints Committee Annual Report 2012". Independent Commission Against Corruption Complaints Committee Annual Report 2012 MR ALBERT HO (in Cantonese): President, as a member of the Independent Commission Against Corruption Complaints Committee, I hereby table the Independent Commission Against Corruption Complaints Committee Annual Report 2012 on behalf of the Committee. This is the eighteenth Annual Report published by the Committee which provides a summary of the work of the Committee in the year 2012. 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. Moreover, where the Committee 14762 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 10 July 2013 considers necessary, it will review the ICAC's work procedures, guidelines and practices, and make recommendations for improvement. To enhance public understanding of the Committee's monitoring of the ICAC's mechanism for handling non-criminal complaints, the Annual Report also explains in detail the relevant mode of operation. In 2012, the Committee held three meetings to consider the investigation reports on 22 complaints covering 66 allegations, two of which were found to be substantiated, and the ICAC has given appropriate advice to the two officers on the substantiated allegations. A sample of an investigation report considered by the Committee is included in the Annual Report. Furthermore, arising from the investigation reports considered by the Committee during the year 2012, the ICAC has also reminded its officers to adhere to the relevant internal guidelines in respect of work procedures in order to upkeep the professionalism of the ICAC and implemented appropriate improvement measures. 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 transparency of the Committee's work.

I told the man to tell Beau Jack that I was honored. have you heard of him? he was a prizefighter. many men box but he was a fighter, a terror, a champion. Beau Jack. the chills still run up and down my spine. you just can’t know how good it feels to hear from him. (Charles Bukowski, Slouching toward Nirvana) After all of the administrative work, all the organizational exertion shared between numerous staff and faculty of EDB, HKAGE, and HKBU, after all of the logistic labour, we do, we must, all know how good it feels to hear from our young, local Hong Kong champions, the ones collected in this anthology. It is, it was, all-too-easy for my colleagues Dr Tammy Ho and Dr Jason Lee and myself to forget, to overlook, the words, the works, the efforts, the autographs, of the local students we had never heard of, while we travailed to organize our numerous workshops and interviews and activities.

  • ABSTRACT Liang Fa's Quanshi Liangyan and Its Impact on The
    ABSTRACT Liang Fa’s Quanshi liangyan and Its Impact on the Taiping Movement Sukjoo Kim, Ph.D. Mentor: Rosalie Beck, Ph.D. Scholars of the Taiping Movement have assumed that Liang Fa’s Quanshi liangyan 勸世良言 (Good Words to Admonish the Age, being Nine Miscellaneous Christian Tracts) greatly influenced Hong Xiuquan, but very little has been written on the role of Liang’s work. The main reason is that even though hundreds of copies were distributed in the early nineteenth century, only four survived the destruction which followed the failure of the Taiping Movement. This dissertation therefore explores the extent of the Christian influence of Liang’s nine tracts on Hong and the Taiping Movement. This study begins with an introduction to China in the nineteenth century and the early missions of western countries in China. The second chapter focuses on the life and work of Liang. His religious background was in Confucianism and Buddhism, but when he encountered Robert Morrison and William Milne, he identified with Christianity. The third chapter discusses the story of Hong especially examining Hong’s acquisition of Liang’s Quanshi liangyan and Hong’s revelatory dream, both of which serve as motives for the establishment of the Society of God Worshippers and the Taiping Movement. The fourth chapter develops Liang’s key ideas from his Quanshi liangyan and compares them with Hong’s beliefs, as found in official documents of the Taipings. The fifth chapter describes Hong’s beliefs and the actual practices of the Taiping Movement and compares them with Liang’s key ideas.
