Review of the Total Smoking Ban at the Leisure Venues Under the Management of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department For Discussion C&W CLSAC Paper No. 28/2013 Review of the Total Smoking Ban at the Leisure Venues under the Management of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department Purpose This paper aims to inform Members of the regular review of the smoking ban implemented at the leisure venues under the management of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD). We now propose that the total smoking ban at the leisure venues of the LCSD in the C&W District should be maintained and would like to consult Members on the proposal. Background 2. The Smoking (Public Health) (Amendment) Ordinance 2006 came into operation on 1 January 2007. The LCSD consulted Members on the proposal of designating some areas as “smoking areas” at all leisure venues, including sports centres, squash centres, public swimming pools and public pleasure grounds, in the district at the meeting of the Culture, Leisure & Social Affairs Committee (CLSAC) of the Central and Western District Council (C&W DC) on 14 December 2006. The final decision of the CLSAC was that a total smoking ban should be implemented at all leisure venues in the district. Six months after the amendment ordinance had come into operation, the LCSD consulted Members on whether the ban should be maintained at the leisure venues in the district at the CLSAC meeting held on 19 July 2007. The CLSAC resolved that the ban should be maintained at the leisure venues. 3. Subsequently, the LCSD submitted papers again to the CLSAC meetings held on 19 June 2008, 18 June 2009, 17 June 2010, 14 July 2011 and 14 June 2012 respectively to review the implementation of the smoking ban at its leisure venues. After discussion, the CLSAC decided that the ban should be maintained as Members considered that the total smoking ban at the leisure venues in the district had already been widely accepted by the local community. Details of the Proposal 4. The Ordinance came into operation in January 2007 and since then, the LCSD has been reviewing the implementation of the smoking ban at its leisure venues on an annual basis. When discussing the naming of the Central and Western District Promenade－Central Section and Mount Davis Service Reservoir Temporary Garden, the new venues opened to the public successively last year, the LCSD also consulted the C&W DC on the implementation of a total smoking ban at the venues. As the total smoking ban at the leisure venues in the district has already been widely accepted by the public, we now propose to the C&W DC that the ban should be maintained at the 125 leisure venues, including sports centres, squash centres, public swimming pools and public pleasure grounds, in the district. A list of the leisure venues with the total smoking ban in the district is at the Annex. Advice Sought 5. This paper is for Members’ discussion at the 27 June 2013 meeting of the CLSAC of the C&W DC. Members are welcome to give their views on the proposal to maintain the total smoking ban at the leisure venues in the district.

  • Progress of Admiralty Station Expansion Works Under the Shatin to Central Link Project
    For Circulation C&W DC Paper No. 109/2017 Central and Western District Council Progress of Admiralty Station Expansion Works under the Shatin to Central Link Project Introduction 1. This paper aims to update members of the Central and Western District Council on the progress of the expansion works of Admiralty Station under the Shatin to Central Link (“SCL”) project. Background 2. The 17-kilometre SCL is a territory-wide strategic railway project linked with a number of existing and future railways to form two strategic railway corridors, namely the “East West Corridor” and the “North South Corridor”. The “East West Corridor” will be formed by extending the Ma On Shan Line from Tai Wai Station to Hung Hom Station where it will connect with the West Rail Line. The “North South Corridor” will extend the existing East Rail Line from Hung Hom Station across the Victoria Harbour to Admiralty Station via Exhibition Station. The “East West Corridor” and “North South Corridor” are expected to commission in mid-2019 and the 2021 respectively. 3. Admiralty Station will become the railway transport hub on Hong Kong Island that serves as the interchange for Island Line, Tsuen Wan Line, South Island Line (“SIL”) and the SCL. As part of the facilities are integrated for both the SCL and the South Island Line (East) (SIL(E)) project, part of the major works including platforms and interchange concourse were carried out under the SIL(E) project to shorten the overall construction time and minimise disturbance to the environment, road traffic and community. As SIL has been in operation since December 2016, SCL has taken over the works site from SIL(E) in Admiralty to continue the remaining railway construction works.

  • Tourist District Enhancement Programme - the Peak
    LC Paper No.CB(1)1303/04-05(05) For discussion on 25 April 2005 Legislative Council Panel on Economic Services Tourist District Enhancement Programme - The Peak Purpose This paper seeks Members’ support for the proposed Tourism District Enhancement Programme for the Peak. Problem 2. There is a need to enhance the appeal of the Peak as a premier attraction of Hong Kong. Proposal 3. The Director of Architectural Services (D Arch S), with the support of the Secretary for Economic Development and Labour, proposes to upgrade 391RO to Category A at an estimated cost of $142.6 million in money-of-the-day (MOD) prices to implement the improvement works in the Peak. Background 4. To enhance and sustain Hong Kong’s attractiveness as a premier tourist destination, the Tourism Commission (TC) has since 2000 embarked on a Tourism District Enhancement Programme (The Programme)1. The Peak, being a “must-see” attraction to our visitors, has also been identified for improvement under the Programme. 1 Projects implemented under this Programme include the improvement works in Sai Kung and Lei Yue Mun waterfront which were completed in 2003; the Central and Western District Enhancement Scheme which is targeted for completion in 2005; the Stanley Waterfront Improvement Project and the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade Beautification Scheme, both of which have commenced in August 2004. - 2 - 5. In 2002, the Hong Kong Tourism Board conducted a consultancy study on “Improvement and Further Development of the Peak as a Visitor Attraction” which recommended, inter alia, the “Victorian” theme be adopted for the enhancement works at the Peak.

  • Chapter 6 Hong Kong
    CHAPTER 6 HONG KONG Key Findings • The Hong Kong government’s proposal of a bill that would allow for extraditions to mainland China sparked the territory’s worst political crisis since its 1997 handover to the Mainland from the United Kingdom. China’s encroachment on Hong Kong’s auton- omy and its suppression of prodemocracy voices in recent years have fueled opposition, with many protesters now seeing the current demonstrations as Hong Kong’s last stand to preserve its freedoms. Protesters voiced five demands: (1) formal with- drawal of the bill; (2) establishing an independent inquiry into police brutality; (3) removing the designation of the protests as “riots;” (4) releasing all those arrested during the movement; and (5) instituting universal suffrage. • After unprecedented protests against the extradition bill, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam suspended the measure in June 2019, dealing a blow to Beijing which had backed the legislation and crippling her political agenda. Her promise in September to formally withdraw the bill came after months of protests and escalation by the Hong Kong police seeking to quell demonstrations. The Hong Kong police used increasingly aggressive tactics against protesters, resulting in calls for an independent inquiry into police abuses. • Despite millions of demonstrators—spanning ages, religions, and professions—taking to the streets in largely peaceful pro- test, the Lam Administration continues to align itself with Bei- jing and only conceded to one of the five protester demands. In an attempt to conflate the bolder actions of a few with the largely peaceful protests, Chinese officials have compared the movement to “terrorism” and a “color revolution,” and have im- plicitly threatened to deploy its security forces from outside Hong Kong to suppress the demonstrations.

  • Reddening Or Reckoning​?
    Reddening or Reckoning​? An Essay on China’s Shadow on Hong Kong Media 22 Years after Handover from British Rule Stuart Lau Journalist Fellow 2018 Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism University of Oxford August 2019 CONTENTS 1. Preface 2 2. From top to bottom: the downfall of a TV station 4 3. Money, Power, Media 10 4. “Political correctness”: New normal for media 20 5. From the Big Brother: “We are watching you” 23 6. Way forward - Is objective journalism still what Hong Kong needs? 27 1 Preface Hong Kong journalists have always stood on the front line of reporting China, a country that exercises an authoritarian system of government but is nonetheless on track to global economic prominence. The often-overlooked role of Hong Kong journalists, though, has gained international attention in summer 2019, when weeks of citywide protests has viralled into the largest-scale public opposition movement ever in the city’s 22-year history as a postcolonial political entity under Chinese sovereignty, forcing the Hong Kong government into accepting defeat over the hugely controversial extradition bill. While much can be said about the admirable professionalism of Hong Kong’s frontline journalists including reporters, photojournalists and video journalists, most of whom not having received the level of warzone-like training required amid the police’s unprecedentedly massive use of potentially lethal weapons, this essay seeks to examine something less visible and less discussed by international media and academia: the extent to which China influences Hong Kong’s media organisations, either directly or indirectly. The issue is important on three levels.

  • Interpretation Study on the Site of Former Mountain Lodge and Its Surrounding Areas
    INTERPRETATION STUDY ON THE SITE OF FORMER MOUNTAIN LODGE AND ITS SURROUNDING AREAS FOR ANTIQUITIES AND MONUMENTS OFFICE, LEISURE AND CULTURAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT Executive Summary November 2011 The Oval Partnership 1 2 Contents 003 Introduction 004 Statement of Significance 009 Interpretation Study 011 Conclusion 016 List of Plans 017 Acknowledgements 018 Cover : Photo of Victoria Peak Garden (Source : Oval Feb 2009) 3 1. Introduction 1.1 Background The Former Mountain Lodge (FML) at Victoria Peak was built between 1900 and 1902 as the summer residence of the Governors of Hong Kong. Following an extended period of vacancy and neglect during the war years and due to the state of disrepair, the main buildings and servant’s quarters were completely pulled down in 1946 while the Gate Lodge was retained. In the 1970s the site was redeveloped and opened to the public as the Victoria Peak Garden with the Gate Lodge subsequently declared a monument in 1995. Following an initial archaeological survey in 2007 and in response to rising concerns on heritage conservation and growing interest in cultural tourism, this study was commissioned by the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department to examine the historical value of the site of the FML and its surrounding areas, formulate an interpretation strategy and propose interpretation plans. 1.2 Report Structure The study basically comprises two reports, namely the ‘Statement of Significance’ (Part 1) and ‘Study Report’ (Part 2) concluding with an executive summary of the findings. Part 1 - The ‘Statement of Significance’ assesses the existing site condition both in terms of the cultural significance of the tangible physical remains and intangible socio-cultural values identified within the study area.

  • Protest Geographies and Cross-Modal Icons in Hong Kong's
    ASIEN 148 (Juli 2018), S. 5–25 Refereed article Protest Geographies and Cross-Modal Icons in Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement Sandra Kurfürst Summary In September 2014, thousands of people occupied the heart of Hong Kong’s state and corporate power, the central business district. This paper provides a snapshot of the first days of the events that resulted in what would ultimately become a 79-day- long occupation, which eventually came to be known as the “Umbrella Movement.” The paper first maps the protest geographies, focusing on the symbolism of place. It then proceeds to decipher the symbols employed by the protestors both in urban public and in digital space. The paper argues that the transformation of tangible everyday items like the umbrella into intangible digital icons demonstrates resilience in the face of state coercion in physical space. Acknowledging the symbolism of place and its inherent contestation, the paper, moreover, shows that the symbols that became cross-modal icons were those that were non-place-specific ones, and thus those shared by a wider collective. Finally, the article suggests it is important to reflect on the distribution of leadership across a wider collective and via different media forms. The data is drawn from participant observation on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon during the week of university class boycotts, from September 21–26, 2014, before the official start of Occupy Central — as well as from internet ethnography, newspaper analysis, and secondary literature research too. Keywords: Public space, social media, social movements, symbols, Hong Kong, Occupy Central Sandra Kurfürst is Juniorprofessor of “Cross-cultural and urban communication” at the Global South Studies Centre, University of Cologne.
