SB holds youth leadership forum

The annual review of the Security Bureau Youth Uniformed Group Leaders Forum was held today, with Acting Chief Executive Chan Kwok-ki giving a speech.   Mr Chan reported that the forum had organised nearly 20 activities over the past year, including courses and training camps run by the bureau’s disciplined services and auxiliary services, and seminars on the country’s Constitution, the Basic Law and the Hong Kong National Security Law. It also organised visits to Beijing, Shaanxi and Greater Bay Area cities, allowing participants to learn more about national affairs and broaden their horizons.   He said he was pleased to note that the bureau plans to strengthen co-operation between the Leaders Forum and Shenzhen University to enhance exchanges between youths in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, deepening their understanding of the development opportunities in the bay area and increasing Hong Kong’s integration into national development.   Noting that members had undergone significant grow

Broadcasting chief named

Deputy Secretary for Home Affairs Patrick Li will succeed Leung Ka-wing, who will leave the service, as Director of Broadcasting on March 1, the Government announced today.   Secretary for the Civil Service Patrick Nip said today Mr Li is a seasoned Administrative Officer with proven leadership and management skills.   “I believe that he will continue to serve the community with professionalism and dedication in his new capacity, and ably lead Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) to meet the challenges ahead.   “As Director of Broadcasting, Mr Li will ensure that RTHK fully abides by the Charter of RTHK.”   The agreement between the Government and Mr Leung, which originally will expire in August, will be resolved early by mutual consent.   At a press conference this morning, Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Edward Yau also noted that the Government had earlier conducted an open recruitment exercise, but could not identify a suitable candidate to fill the Director of Broadcasting post.   “It has been our preference to have someone with broadcasting experience and the best option would be someone from the department through the succession arrangement for Director of Broadcasting, but apparently we may not have that opportunity given the current composition of the team. And we have also failed to identify a suitable candidate from the open recruitment.   “The arrangement to have an administrative officer put in place as the head of RTHK is to reflect the need for both broadcasting as well as administrative and policy strengths."   Mr Yau said he believes that Mr Li is the best person for the post.   “I also would like to reiterate that the responsibility of the editor-in-chief is not about loading everything on his shoulder. As a department, as a public broadcaster, of course, the director would need to work together with his directorate team and also every member of the department.   “So I believe we have found the best person for the job and hopefully the new management, under the new leadership, could also work together with every member of RTHK in faithfully carrying out the duties which could meet the mission laid out for RTHK.”   Click here for their biographies.
