In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (a) of the number of crimes, together with a breakdown, which occurred in Tseung Kwan O in the past three years in which the suspected offenders were aged 18 or below, and the number of people who were convicted eventually; of the areas identified as black spots of crime in the district, as well as the short-term measures taken by the police to combat the crimes; (b) given that the Tseung Kwan O Divisional Police Station is under the command of Kwun Tong Police District at present, whether it has assessed if such an arrangement has affected the deployment of police officers to Tseung Kwan O District for patrolling and law enforcement; if it has, of the outcome; whether the authorities have considered reviewing the arrangement, including setting up an independent Tseung Kwan O Police District; if they have, of the details; if not, the reasons for that; what factors the authorities will take into consideration when studying the setting up an independent police district; and (c) whether the authorities will allocate additional resources to the voluntary agencies which at present offer extended services for young night drifters (YNDs) to further develop such services or introduce more teams to service YNDs; if so, of the details; if not, the reasons for that; whether there is any collaboration programme jointly organized by various government departments and the aforesaid voluntary agencies to deal with youth problems in the district? 8168 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 30 March 2011 SECRETARY FOR SECURITY (in Cantonese): President, (a) during the three years between 2008 and 2010, the police arrested a total of 351, 305 and 352 young persons aged under 18 respectively in Tseung Kwan O. The arrest figures do not show any significant change during the period. The numbers of arrests broken down by offences and numbers of convictions are set out at the Annex. Most young persons arrested in Tseung Kwan O were involved in shop theft and wounding offences. From 2008 to 2010, except for cases involving wounding and serious assault, the numbers of arrests involving other offences do not show any significant change. In order to combat youth crime problem in the district more effectively, an additional dedicated team has been set up in the Tseung Kwan O Division since April 2010 to step up patrols of locations frequented by young persons. Furthermore, criminal cases in Tseung Kwan O involving young persons are referred to the District Crime Squad of the Kwun Tong Police District for follow-up actions as a measure to target against juvenile street gangs. On publicity and education, there are three Police School Liaison Officers responsible for liaising with schools in Tseung Kwan O. In 2010, the School Liaison Officers in the district organized a total of 245 activities, including talks, visits and Junior Police Call activities. The activities aimed to instill positive values and the law-abiding concept in students, and strengthen co-operation between the police and schools. In addition, the Sai Kung District Fight Crime Committee and the police jointly organized 15 publicity programmes in the Sai Kung and Tseung Kwan O districts in 2010 focusing on themes such as combating shop thefts to help enhance public awareness of crime prevention. (b) The law and order in Tseung Kwan O is currently maintained by the Tseung Kwan O Division of the Kwun Tong Police District in the Kowloon East Police Region. The police have been closely monitoring the crime situation and policing needs of the district. Adequate police strength has been deployed to Tseung Kwan O to maintain law and order with reference to its community development LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 30 March 2011 8169 and population growth.

  • 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.

    N337 Historic Building Appraisal Entrance Gate San Wai, Ha Tsuen, Yuen Long, New Territories The entrance gate of San Wai (新圍), which literally means “new Historical walled village”,1 is situated in a local district known as Ha Tsuen (廈村) or Interest Ha Tsuen Heung (廈村鄉).2 Ha Tsuen was founded by two brothers, Tang Hung-chi (鄧洪贄) and Tang Hung-wai (鄧洪惠), both ninth generation members of the Ng Yuen Tso (五元祖) of the Tang (鄧) clan.3 As one of the oldest villages in Ha Tsuen, San Wai has a history of more than 250 years. It was established by Tang Tso-tai (鄧作泰, 1695 – 1756), an eighteenth generation member of the Ng Yuen Tso, and Tang Wai-yuk (鄧為玉, 1715 – 1755), a generation younger than Tso-tai. The village’s name “新圍” in Chinese and “San Wai” in English can be identified from a government report of 1899 and a land record of the then colonial government dating from 1905 to 1907. Regarding its layout, San Wai is composed of rows of houses, with an entrance gate. It is believed that the entrance gate was originally situated on the central axis of the village. As the village expanded, this central axis gradually lost its significance, and the view from the entrance gate was eventually blocked by rows of houses. A map dated 1917, which is the earliest record of its kind identified, shows that by that time two rows of houses had been built in front of the entrance gate.4 Interestingly, no shrine was built within San Wai, as villagers believe that the village is “protected” by the Earth God shrine near the Yeung Hau Temple (楊侯古廟), which is locally known as Sai Tau Miu (西頭廟, western temple).

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.
