First question. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 11 February 2004 3385 Complaints Against and Regulation of Property Management Companies 1. MR ALBERT CHAN (in Cantonese): Madam President, recently, I have received many complaints from property owners alleging that some property management companies had made unauthorized use of the building maintenance fund when discharging their duties and awarded the building maintenance works to persons and companies with whom they had close relations, without going through open tender exercises and consulting the owners. These owners hold the view that such practice has infringed their rights and contravened the Code of Practice on Building Management and Maintenance issued by the Home Affairs Bureau and may involve criminal acts. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (a) of the number of relevant complaints received as well as the number of prosecutions instituted against the property management companies and their staff in each of the past three years; and (b) whether it will consider enacting laws to regulate property management companies so as to strengthen the protection for property owners' rights; if so, of the details of its consideration; if not, the reasons for that? SECRETARY FOR HOME AFFAIRS (in Cantonese): Madam President, (a) For the past three years (that is, from 2001 to 2003), the number of complaints received by the Home Affairs Department (HAD) in respect of property management companies were seven, five and 19 respectively. The complaints were mainly about the excessive authority granted to property management companies under the Deed of Mutual Covenant (DMC) or the inappropriate use of the power as set out in the DMC by property management companies. On receipt of these complaints, the 18 District Offices would take the necessary follow-up actions. They would find out more details about the case and then offer appropriate assistance to the complainant. The cases would be referred to the police or the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) where necessary. 3386 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 11 February 2004 For complaints on property management reported to the ICAC in the past three years, 227, 191 and 222 cases were related to property management companies or security companies. The ICAC has completed prosecution for 34, 21 and nine cases respectively in the past three years. (b) Management of private buildings is squarely the responsibility of owners. The Government's policy is to actively encourage and assist owners to form owners' corporation (OC) to facilitate the effective management of their buildings. In this regard, the Government plays the role of a "facilitator", adopting various means to help owners to discharge their building management responsibilities. One of the most crucial means adopted is the provision of a legal framework for compliance by owners. The enactment of the Building Management Ordinance (BMO) is to provide such a framework to facilitate the incorporation of owners and prescribe the rules for property management. The purpose of regulating property management companies is to protect the interests of owners. In fact, there are already existing provisions in the BMO to protect their pecuniary interests and guard against the misuse of owners' money. Part VIA of and the Seventh Schedule to the BMO are mandatory terms incorporated into all DMCs and are applicable to all DMCs. These provisions require that the manager, that is, the property management company, shall appropriately handle their clients' monies. All property management companies have to comply with the rules set out in the DMCs. Hence, whether an OC or an owners' organization has been formed in a building, the manager, that is, the property management company, must, in accordance with the Seventh Schedule to the BMO, maintain an interest-bearing account and shall use that account exclusively in respect of the management of the building. On receipt of the management and maintenance fees, the property management company shall, except for a reasonable amount to cover expenditure of a minor nature, deposit all money into that account without delay. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 11 February 2004 3387 Furthermore, we encourage owners to form themselves into OC. Once an OC is formed in a building, the OC could maintain an interest-bearing account in accordance with section 20 of the BMO. Owners will then be able to deposit the management fees directly into that account. The OC shall use that account exclusively in respect of the management of the building.

  • Reviewing and Evaluating the Direct Elections to the Legislative Council and the Transformation of Political Parties in Hong Kong, 1991-2016
    Journal of US-China Public Administration, August 2016, Vol. 13, No. 8, 499-517 doi: 10.17265/1548-6591/2016.08.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Reviewing and Evaluating the Direct Elections to the Legislative Council and the Transformation of Political Parties in Hong Kong, 1991-2016 Chung Fun Steven Hung The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong After direct elections were instituted in Hong Kong, politicization inevitably followed democratization. This paper intends to evaluate how political parties’ politics happened in Hong Kong’s recent history. The research was conducted through historical comparative analysis, with the context of Hong Kong during the sovereignty transition and the interim period of democratization being crucial. For the implementation of “one country, two systems”, political democratization was hindered and distinct political scenarios of Hong Kong’s transformation were made. The democratic forces had no alternative but to seek more radicalized politics, which caused a decisive fragmentation of the local political parties where the establishment camp was inevitable and the democratic blocs were split into many more small groups individually. It is harmful. It is not conducive to unity and for the common interests of the publics. This paper explores and evaluates the political history of Hong Kong and the ways in which the limited democratization hinders the progress of Hong Kong’s transformation. Keywords: election politics, historical comparative, ruling, democratization The democratizing element of the Hong Kong political system was bounded within the Legislative Council under the principle of the separation of powers of the three governing branches, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Popular elections for the Hong Kong legislature were introduced and implemented for 25 years (1991-2016) and there were eight terms of general elections for the Legislative Council.

  • I Am Sorry. Would Members Please Deal with One Piece of Business. It Is Now Eight O’Clock and Under Standing Order 8(2) This Council Should Now Adjourn
    4920 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 29 June 1994 8.00 pm PRESIDENT: I am sorry. Would Members please deal with one piece of business. It is now eight o’clock and under Standing Order 8(2) this Council should now adjourn. ATTORNEY GENERAL: Mr President, with your consent, I move that Standing Order 8(2) should be suspended so as to allow the Council’s business this evening to be concluded. Question proposed, put and agreed to. Council went into Committee. CHAIRMAN: Council is now in Committee and is suspended until 15 minutes to nine o’clock. 8.56 pm CHAIRMAN: Committee will now resume. MR MARTIN LEE (in Cantonese): Mr Chairman, thank you for adjourning the debate on my motion so that Members could have a supper break. I hope I can secure a greater chance of success if they listen to my speech after dining. Mr Chairman, on behalf of the United Democrats of Hong Kong (UDHK), I move the amendments to clause 22 except item 12 of schedule 2. The amendments have already been set out under my name in the paper circulated to Members. Mr Chairman, before I make my speech, I would like to raise a point concerning Mr Jimmy McGREGOR because he was quite upset when he heard my previous speech. He hoped that I could clarify one point. In fact, I did not mean that all the people in the commercial sector had not supported democracy. If all the voters in the commercial sector had not supported democracy, Mr Jimmy McGREGOR would not have been returned in the 1988 and 1991 elections.

  • Hong Kong's Endgame and the Rule of Law (Ii): the Battle Over "The People" and the Business Community in the Transition to Chinese Rule
    HONG KONG'S ENDGAME AND THE RULE OF LAW (II): THE BATTLE OVER "THE PEOPLE" AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IN THE TRANSITION TO CHINESE RULE JACQUES DELISLE* & KEVIN P. LANE- 1. INTRODUCTION Transitional Hong Kong's endgame formally came to a close with the territory's reversion to Chinese rule on July 1, 1997. How- ever, a legal and institutional order and a "rule of law" for Chi- nese-ruled Hong Kong remain works in progress. They will surely bear the mark of the conflicts that dominated the final years pre- ceding Hong Kong's legal transition from British colony to Chinese Special Administrative Region ("S.A.R."). Those endgame conflicts reflected a struggle among adherents to rival conceptions of a rule of law and a set of laws and institutions that would be adequate and acceptable for Hong Kong. They unfolded in large part through battles over the attitudes and allegiance of "the Hong Kong people" and Hong Kong's business community. Hong Kong's Endgame and the Rule of Law (I): The Struggle over Institutions and Values in the Transition to Chinese Rule ("Endgame I") focused on the first aspect of this story. It examined the political struggle among members of two coherent, but not monolithic, camps, each bound together by a distinct vision of law and sover- t Special Series Reprint: Originally printed in 18 U.

    Hong Kong Watch * * * * * * * International parliamentarians condemn today’s imprisonment of the ‘most moderate and distinguished’ pro-democracy activists Today, authorities in Hong Kong have sentenced nine prominent pro-democracy activists for taking part in a peaceful protest in August 2019, including the the ‘father of Hong Kong’s democracy’ Martin Lee, ‘the owner of Apple Daily Jimmy Lai, and international barrister Margaret Ng. The nine pro-democracy activists which span the generations have received jail sentences and suspended sentences, with Jimmy Lai receiving 12 months, Lee Cheuk-yan receiving 12 months, Leung Kwok-hung receiving 18 months, Au Nok-hin receiving 10 months, and Cyd Ho receiving 8 months in prison and Margaret Ng receiving 12 month suspended sentence, Martin Lee receiving 11 months suspended sentence, Albert Ho receiving 12 months suspended sentence, and Leung Yiu-chung receiving an 8 month suspended sentence for the charge of ‘unlawful assembly’. U.N. Special Rapporteurs for human rights have previously called for the Hong Kong Government to withdraw the Public Order Ordinance which allows authorities to criminalise peaceful protest describing it as an assault on freedom of expression and freedom of assembly. A group of international parliamentarians led by Hong Kong Watch’s patron and the last British governor of Hong Kong, Lord Patten, have responded to the sentencing of the prominent pro-democracy activists. Their comments follow calls from over 100 UK MPs for the sanctioning of Hong Kong officials. U.K. Lord Patten of Barnes said: “The CCP's comprehensive assault on the freedoms of Hong Kong and its rule of law continues relentlessly.

HONG KONG: THE PERILS OF SEMIDEMOCRACY William H. Overholt William H. Overholt is head of Asia strategy and economics for Nomura International, a Japan-based securities firm with offices in Hong Kong and around the world. He holds a doctorate in political science from Yale University and is the author of five books, including most recently The Rise of China: How Economic Reform Is Creating a New Superpower (1994). At the time of Hong Kong’s 1997 transition from British to Chinese rule, the world saw the city as a laissez-faire enclave that took care of itself, while an able but mostly hands-off civil service did minor maintenance. A successful transition would mean little more than a changing of the guard, with local functionaries replacing colonial functionaries. There was, in this widely held view, no need for any larger reform of the economy or polity. Beijing and London, together with the local business establishment, planned a government that they all hoped would combine representative deliberativeness with authoritarian decisiveness.
