(After the summoning bell had been rung, a number of Members entered the Chamber) TABLING OF PAPERS The following papers were laid on the table under Rule 21(2) of the Rules of Procedure: Subsidiary Legislation/Instruments L.N. No. Admission and Registration (Amendment) Rules 2017 .... 103/2017 Trainee Solicitors (Amendment) Rules 2017 .................... 104/2017 Import and Export (Strategic Commodities) Regulations (Amendment of Schedule 1) Order 2017 (Commencement) Notice ...................................... 105/2017 Other Paper No. 101 ― Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation Annual Report 2016 ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Questions. First question. Use of closed-circuit television systems to assist in law enforcement 1. MR MICHAEL TIEN (in Cantonese): It has been reported that in recent years, the Police have detected a number of crime cases of great public concern by taking advantage of the clues obtained from the closed-circuit television ("CCTV") footages near the crime scenes and such footages have constituted LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 31 May 2017 8703 crucial evidence in the trials concerned. On the other hand, some members of the public have relayed to me that the installation of CCTV systems is conducive to reducing traffic contraventions. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (1) of the current number of CCTV systems installed in public places by government departments; whether the authorities will install more CCTV systems in various crime black spots to enhance the deterrent effect and assist in law enforcement; (2) of the number of crime cases detected in the past 10 years by various law enforcement departments by taking advantage of the clues obtained from CCTV footages; and (3) whether the authorities will conduct a study on the installation of CCTV systems at bus termini, road junctions with yellow box markings, locations where illegal parking is frequent and traffic black spots to assist the Police in taking law enforcement actions against traffic contraventions; whether the authorities will consider amending the relevant legislation to expressly provide that CCTV footages can be taken as sufficient evidence to prove traffic contraventions such as illegal parking and stopping on yellow box markings? SECRETARY FOR SECURITY (in Cantonese): President, closed circuit television ("CCTV") systems can video-film and monitor specified areas 24 hours a day and certain systems are equipped with recording function, helping to enhance security and prevent crime. Therefore, CCTV systems are commonly used for security and monitoring purposes in many private buildings, shopping arcades, government buildings and public facilities, etc. In addition, the Government has been using CCTV cameras to monitor traffic conditions. My consolidated reply to Mr Michael TIEN's question is as follows: Currently, many government departments, such as the Transport Department ("TD"), Housing Department ("HD"), Leisure and Cultural Services Department ("LCSD"), Food and Environmental Hygiene Department ("FEHD"), Environmental Protection Department ("EPD"), Hong Kong Police Force 8704 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 31 May 2017 ("HKPF"), Immigration Department ("ImmD"), and Customs and Excise Department ("C&ED"), etc., have installed CCTV cameras in areas under their purview or in public places. TD has set up CCTV cameras on roads with busy traffic throughout the territory and within government road tunnels and control areas for the purpose of traffic monitoring. HD has installed CCTV cameras at various locations of public housing estates, shopping arcades, carparks and construction sites for security, anti-theft and monitoring purposes, including CCTV cameras under the Falling Object Monitoring System, commonly called the "eyes in the sky". LCSD has set up CCTV cameras at its venues for maintaining public safety, assisting in crowd control and monitoring operation of the venues. FEHD has installed Internet Protocol cameras at six refuse dumping blackspots to strengthen the monitoring of illegal dumping of refuse. EPD has set up surveillance cameras at eight fly-tipping blackspots of construction waste and plans to install more surveillance camera systems at other blackspots. In addition, HKPF have installed CCTV cameras along the land boundary and Hong Kong waters for boundary security, anti-smuggling purpose and anti-illegal immigration purpose, etc. During large-scale public order events, HKPF would set up temporary CCTV systems at strategic locations, such as places where large crowds would appear, in order to know about the flow and movement of crowds as well as adopt corresponding crowd management measures. These temporary systems are not equipped with recording function and will be removed as soon as possible after the events in accordance with operational needs. Separately, to monitor crowd and vehicle movements at immigration control points and the operation of e-Channels as well as for security purpose, ImmD and C&ED have also installed CCTV cameras at the control points.

  • Monthly Report HK
    January 2011 in Hong Kong 31.1.2011 / No 85 A condensed press review prepared by the Consulate General of Switzerland in HK Economy + Finance HK still ranked world's freest economy: HK remains the world’s freest economy for the 17th straight year and ranked 1st out of 41 countries – according to a report released by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal. The city’s score remains unchanged from last year at 89.7 out of 100 in the 2011 Index of Economic Freedom, with small declines in the score for government spending and labour freedom offsetting improvements in fiscal freedom, monetary freedom, and freedom from corruption. The report said HK is one of the world’s most competitive financial and business centres, demonstrating a high degree of resilience during the global financial crisis. City casts off shadow of global financial crisis: HK's economy is rebounding from the aftermath of the global financial crisis, with the public coffers enjoying the first eight-month surplus in three years. The latest announcement showed a far better financial picture than the government had forecast. In his budget speech in February, Financial Secretary John Tsang projected a net deficit of HK$25.2 billion for the current financial year. However, consensus estimates among most accounting firms now put the full financial year budget at a surplus of at least HK$60 billion. The reserves stood at HK$537 billion as of November 30, compared to HK$455.5 billion a year earlier. HK jobless rate falls to 4pc: HK's unemployment rate declined from 4.1 per cent in September to November last year to 4.0 per cent in October to December last year.

  • Hong Kong Youth Radicalization from the Perspective of Relative Deprivation
    Contemporary Chinese Political Economy and Strategic Relations: An International Journal Vol. 4, No. 2, July/Aug. 2018, pp. 451-485 __________________________________________________________ Hong Kong Youth Radicalization from the Perspective of Relative Deprivation Łukasz Zamęcki* University of Warsaw Abstract The aim of this paper is to highlight the influence of relative deprivation (RD), observed amongst a number of Hongkongese youth, on the process of radicalization of Hong Kong politics. The thesis of this paper is that the political radicalization of youth, noticeable particularly in recent years (e.g. more violent protests, the growth of nativist and localist organizations and the flourishing idea of self-determination of Hong Kong), can be an effect of RD. The findings conclude that the feeling of deprivation amongst youth refers to two spheres: “political values” and “welfare values”. The former concern the expectations of democratization of the political system and the latter relate to the feeling of dismantling the economic status and cultural identity of Hongkongers. The results of this paper are based on a small-range qualitative research (focus groups, in-depth interviews) conducted in April 2014, November 2015 and September 2016 on the group of HK students, scholars, journalists, and politicians. The analysis leads to the conclusion that without real changes in the political system of Hong Kong, the level of radicalization might further increase in the coming years. 451 452 Łukasz Zamęcki Keywords: relative deprivation, political radicalization, contentious politics, Hong Kong politics 1. Introduction In recent years, one could observe more transgressive instruments of manifestation of own political ideas by the young citizens of Hong Kong.
