TABLING OF PAPERS The following papers were laid on the table under Rule 21(2) of the Rules of Procedure: Subsidiary Legislation/Instrument L.N. No. Waterworks (Amendment) Regulation 2019 ..................... 12/2019 Other Papers No. 68 ― Correctional Services Department Welfare Fund Report by the Commissioner of Correctional Services of Hong Kong Incorporated on the Administration of the Fund, Financial statements and Report of the Director of Audit for the year ended 31 March 2018 No. 69 ― The Government Minute in response to the Report of the Public Accounts Committee No. 70A of November 2018 Report No. 10/18-19 of the House Committee on Consideration of Subsidiary Legislation and Other Instruments Report of the Bills Committee on Financial Reporting Council (Amendment) Bill 2018 Report of the Bills Committee on Inland Revenue (Amendment) (No. 6) Bill 2018 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 30 January 2019 6041 ADDRESS PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Address. The Chief Secretary for Administration will address the Council on "The Government Minute in response to the Report of the Public Accounts Committee No. 70A". The Government Minute in response to the Report of the Public Accounts Committee No. 70A of November 2018 CHIEF SECRETARY FOR ADMINISTRATION (in Cantonese): President, laid on the table today is the Government Minute responding to Report No. 70A of the Public Accounts Committee ("PAC"). When presenting Report No. 70A on 14 November 2018 to the Legislative Council, the Chairman of PAC offered comments on two chapters in the Director of Audit's Report No. 70, namely, "Management of restored landfills" and "Sha Tin Section of Route 8". I welcome PAC's Report and sincerely thank the Chairman and Members of PAC for their time and effort made to investigate these subjects. The Government accepts PAC's various recommendations and sets out in detail the specific responses of the relevant departments in the Government Minute. Today, I would like to highlight the key measures that the Government has taken in the two important policy areas and the progress. Regarding "Management of restored landfills", as pointed out by the Chairman of PAC, there are many site constraints in the 13 closed landfills in Hong Kong. Before development of the sites, various serious technical difficulties such as ground settlement and continuous generation of landfill gas have to be overcome. Nonetheless, the Environmental Protection Department ("EPD") would seriously follow up on the recommendations of PAC with a view to developing the closed landfills for recreational or other suitable afteruse under these constraints. In 2016, EPD thoroughly reviewed the monitoring system and promptly implemented numerous improvement measures, which included stepping up the frequency of irregular inspections, enhancing the training of staff stationed in waste treatment facilities to enhance their technical knowledge and alertness, and 6042 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 30 January 2019 installing additional monitoring equipment to more closely monitor the operation of the waste treatment facilities. As regards the monitoring of contractors of restored landfills, EPD accepts the recommendations made by PAC and will take appropriate follow-up action, including expediting the progress of installing advanced equipment at various restored landfill sites with leachate treatment plants, with a view to automating the monitoring work and detecting cases of non-compliance in a more timely manner; supervising continuously the contractors' operation on restoration facilities and their compliance with relevant statutory and contractual requirements; and reviewing the feasibility of including non-compliance with the relevant statutory environmental requirements under the demerit point system of the design-build-operate contracts for the restoration and management of closed landfills in future. Regarding the Restored Landfill Revitalization Funding Scheme ("the Funding Scheme"), EPD is working closely with the two organizations selected under Batch 1 of the Funding Scheme with a view to taking forward the revitalization projects as soon as possible. EPD will also review Batch 1 of the Funding Scheme to formulate necessary improvement measures to enhance the operation of subsequent batches of the Funding Scheme. In response to PAC Chairman's recommendations on Kwai Chung Park, Jordan Valley Park and Wan Po Road Pet Garden, relevant bureaux and departments have promptly followed up on the recommendations. I would like to briefly update the progress as follows. First, Kwai Chung Park ("the Park"). The Park covers a very large area of over 25 hectares surrounded by slopes on restored landfills, which is unique in Hong Kong and much different from other open space projects. Over the past years, progress was mainly impeded by complicated site conditions, technical constraints and competing priorities for other items, hence comprehensive development has not been made. While there is no shortfall of open space in Kwai Tsing District as a whole according to the recommendations of the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department ("LCSD") has spared no effort to press ahead with the planning work for the Park under the prevailing mechanism. To show the Government's commitment to develop the Park, the Kwai Chung Park project was included in the Five-Year Plan for Sports and Recreation Facilities as announced in the 2017 Policy Address.

The background on the SIL (East), SIL (West) and Route 4 is set out at Annex. JUSTIFICATIONS Transport and Economic Justifications Traffic Congestion along Aberdeen Tunnel 3. The residential and commercial nodes in the Southern District mainly stretch along two clusters with one on the west, namely the Cyberport, Pok Fu Lam, Wah Fu Estate and Aberdeen, and another lying to the east, namely South Horizons, Lei Tung Estate, Wong Chuk Hang and the Ocean Park. In going to the city areas, the former cluster relies more on Pokfulam Road and Victoria Road, and the latter on the Aberdeen Tunnel. The Southern District is the only remaining district Page 1 in Hong Kong with no rail service. 4. At present, traffic piles back from the Cross Harbour Tunnel and Causeway Bay daily in the peak hours and in turn causes congestion in the Aberdeen Tunnel.

  • Hong Kong Country Overview
    HONG KONG COUNTRY OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION Electric, eclectic, energizing, nonstop, traditional, cosmopolitan, international; there are so many words to describe Hong Kong, one simply has to visit to experience it all. Hong Kong was a British colony from the mid-19th century until 1997 when China resumed sovereignty. The city now operates as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) under China’s ‘one country – two rule system.’ A haven for consumerists, Hong Kong offers some of the best shopping anywhere in the world. The infrastructure is modern and developed which makes getting around easy. On top of that, because of the city’s long history with the western world, English is spoken everywhere making Hong Kong a relatively easy destination to visit compared to other parts of China. 2 ABOUT HONG KONG LANDSCAPE Hong Kong is located at the delta of the Pearl River on China’s Southeast coast. The city is made up of Hong Kong island, and several areas on the mainland peninsula known as Kowloon and the New Territories. In total, the land area is over 1100 km2. CLIMATE Hong Kong enjoys a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and relatively mild winters. It is most likely to rain during the summer months (June, July, August) and this is, therefore, the low travel season. The most popular seasons to visit are Spring with mild temperatures and only occasional rain and autumn which is usually sunny and dry. PEOPLE There are approximately 7.3 million people living in Hong Kong, 95% of whom are of Chinese descent (Mainly Canton people).

    THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION CENTER FOR NORTHEAST ASIAN POLICY STUDIES The 2004 Legislative Council Elections and Implications for U.S. Policy toward Hong Kong Wednesday, September 15, 2004 Introduction: RICHARD BUSH Director, Center for Northeast Asian Policy Studies The Brookings Institution Presenter: SONNY LO SHIU-HING Associate Professor of Political Science University of Waterloo Discussant: ELLEN BORK Deputy Director Project for the New American Century [TRANSCRIPT PREPARED FROM A TAPE RECORDING.] THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION CENTER FOR NORTHEAST ASIAN POLICY STUDIES 1775 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE, NW WASHINGTON, D.C. 20036 202-797-6307 P R O C E E D I N G S MR. BUSH: [In progress] I've long thought that politically Hong Kong plays a very important role in the Chinese political system because it can be, I think, a test bed, or a place to experiment on different political forums on how to run large Chinese cities in an open, competitive, and accountable way. So how Hong Kong's political development proceeds is very important for some larger and very significant issues for the Chinese political system as a whole, and therefore the debate over democratization in Hong Kong is one that has significance that reaches much beyond the rights and political participation of the people there. The election that occurred last Sunday is a kind of punctuation mark in that larger debate over democratization, and we're very pleased to have two very qualified people to talk to us today. The first is Professor Sonny Lo Shiu-hing, who has just joined the faculty of the University of Waterloo in Canada.
