Ta Kung Pao Again Attacks The Sparring Partner; Kuk Wing-yin Labels It a “Yellow Cultural Circle” and Says “Vilifying the Police” Is Unconvincing
香港電影《正義迴廊》口碑極佳，票房由低轉高，上映至今第 8 週已經突破 3,700 萬票房。電影改編自真實事件「大角咀弒親案」，涉及不少警察失職的描寫，因而受到建制中人批評。繼早前工聯會立法會議員陳穎欣批評《正義迴廊》「矮化警隊」、「反中亂港」，前 12 月 17 日，《大公報》刊登屈穎妍〈黃色文藝圈〉一文，指電影充斥政治立場，「醜化警隊」情節欠說服力，屬「自尋死路」。
The Hong Kong film The Sparring Partner has received highly favourable reviews, with its box office rising from a low point to more than 37 million by its eighth week in cinemas. Adapted from the real-life Tai Kok Tsui parricide case, the film contains numerous depictions of police dereliction of duty and has consequently drawn criticism from pro-establishment figures. After Chan Wing-yan, a Legislative Council member from the Federation of Trade Unions, earlier criticised The Sparring Partner as “belittling the police” and “anti-China and destabilising Hong Kong”, Ta Kung Pao published Kuk Wing-yin’s article “The Yellow Cultural Circle” on December 17. The article said the film was rife with political positions, that its “vilifying the police” storyline lacked credibility, and that it amounted to “digging its own grave”.

亞洲欖球賽韓國站播錯國歌事件後，港協暨奧委會發出新指引，指示運動員如何應對。昨日（12月2日）於杜拜舉行的2022亞洲經典健力錦標賽的頒獎禮，大會在奏國歌時播放《願榮光歸香港》。於「女子元老組47公斤級別」奪冠的連煒楨（Susanna Lin）在歌曲響起後約10秒後，經場邊提醒後馬上舉起「T」字手勢示意暫停。
After an incident in which the wrong national anthem was played at the Korea leg of the Asian Rugby Championship, the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong issued new guidelines instructing athletes on how to respond. At the awards ceremony of the 2022 Asian Classic Powerlifting Championships in Dubai yesterday (December 2), the organisers played “Glory to Hong Kong” when the national anthem was being played.

National anthem guidelines are to help players reduce pressure, says Kevin Yeung
香港欖球隊經歷播錯國歌、國歌字幕出錯事件後，港協暨奧委會近日發出指引，要求球員在主辦方出錯時，即舉「T或交叉」手勢要求暫停，若主辦方不更正，代表隊便應離場退賽等。文化體育及旅遊局長楊潤雄出席一個電台節目時指，指引並非想懲罰任何人和令球員有壓力，強調只是想幫助球員了解清楚要求
After the Hong Hong Kong China Rugby Union team experienced incidents involving the wrong national anthem being played and errors in the national anthem subtitles, the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong recently issued guidelines requiring players to immediately make a “T” or cross gesture to request a pause when the organiser makes a mistake. If the organiser does not correct it, the delegation should leave and withdraw from the competition. Speaking on a radio programme, Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Kevin Yeung said the guidelines were not intended to punish anyone or put pressure on players, but were simply intended to help players clearly understand the requirements.

HK Olympic Committee Denies Withdrawal Guidelines Punish Athletes, Says They Protect Them and Prevent Government Funding Cuts
港欖接連經歷播錯國歌、國歌字幕出錯事件，港協暨奧委會今日與轄下逾80個體育總會講解最新指引，包括當主辦方不修正國歌錯誤時，運動員須退賽表態。港協暨奧委會義務秘書長王敏超見記者時，否認指引是懲罰運動員，「我哋咁做法都係保障（運動員），如果有啲咁嘅情況出現，可能成個sport、成隊將來都會受sanction（制裁），或者政府資助都會抽走，長遠計咪仲對運動員唔公平？」
Hong Kong China Rugby Union has recently been involved in incidents in which the wrong national anthem was played and the anthem subtitles were incorrect. Today, the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China explained its latest guidelines to more than 80 sports associations under its umbrella, including a requirement for athletes to withdraw from competitions to make a statement when organisers fail to correct errors involving the national anthem. Speaking to reporters, the committee’s honorary secretary general, Wong Man-chiu, denied that the guidelines were intended to punish athletes. “What we are doing is also to protect [the athletes]. If such a situation arises, the entire sport or team could potentially face sanctions in the future, or government funding could be withdrawn. In the long run, wouldn’t that be even more unfair to the athletes?”

Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence to Reopen Tomorrow, Avoiding “Colony” and Stressing British “Colonial Rule”
香港海防博物館在2019年初閉館，將於明日（24日）重開，亦被賦予「說好海防故事」新任務。海防博物館今日設傳媒預覽，新館設13個展覽廳，第2展廳敘述「不平等條約與香港割佔」，沒有使用「殖民地」字眼，採用英國對香港實行「殖民管治」，直至1997年7月1日「中國恢復對香港行使主權」，強調香港的主權仍屬中國，與教育局早前「香港不是英國殖民地」的口徑一致。
The Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence, which closed in early 2019, will reopen tomorrow (24th) with a new mission to “tell the story of coastal defence well”. At a media preview today, the museum said the revamped facility would feature 13 galleries. Gallery 2, on the “Unequal Treaties and the Cession of Hong Kong”, does not use the term “colony”, instead stating that Britain exercised “colonial rule” over Hong Kong until 1 July 1997, when “China resumed exercising sovereignty over Hong Kong”. It stresses that sovereignty over Hong Kong remains with China, consistent with the Education Bureau’s earlier position that “Hong Kong was not a British colony”.

Hong Kong Sports Federation plans new guidance: errors involving national anthem must be addressed immediately, including withdrawal from events
香港欖球隊近日爭議不斷，繼誤將《願榮光歸香港》當成國歌播放後，再發生國歌字幕出錯事件。港協暨奧委會義務秘書長王敏超接受報章訪問指，計劃在月底前，向屬會發新指引，要求參加國際賽事時向大會提供標準國旗及國歌，並設專人跟進。如出賽時發現有錯應立即表態，如舉「T或交叉」手勢要求暫停；若主辦方拒更正，代表隊便應離場退賽。他表示，如出錯責任在於屬會，有關人士將受處分，嚴重及故意失誤者或涉《國安法》。
The Hong Hong Kong China Rugby Union team has been embroiled in a series of controversies recently. After mistakenly playing “Glory to Hong Kong” as the national anthem, there was another incident involving incorrect subtitles for the national anthem. Wang Man-chiu, honorary secretary general of the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China, told a newspaper that it plans to issue new guidance to member associations by the end of the month. The guidance will require teams taking part in international events to provide the organisers with standard national flags and anthems and to designate someone to follow up on the arrangements. If an error is discovered during an event, the team should immediately voice its objection, such as by making a “T” or cross gesture to request a pause. If the organisers refuse to make corrections, the representative team should leave and withdraw from the event. He said that if the responsibility for an error lay with a member association, the relevant people would be disciplined, while serious and deliberate mistakes could involve the National Security Law.

Rugby World Cup anthem subtitles mistakenly display “GLORY TO HONG KONG”; Hong Kong Hong Kong China Rugby Union Union says graphics operator was at fault
繼上周日亞洲七人欖球系列賽，亞洲橄欖球總會誤將《願榮光歸香港》當成香港國歌，有網民發現，在11月6日香港對葡萄牙的「15人欖球世界盃外圍賽國際遺材賽」網上精華片段中播放國歌《義勇軍進行曲》時，字幕卻打出「GLORY TO HONG KONG NATIONAL ANTHEM OF HONG KONG」，已將《願榮光歸香港》當成香港國歌。相關影片今午（19日）在頻道中已被下架，香港欖球總會下午發聲明表示，主辦方國際欖球理事會已就事件致歉，並解釋出錯是「圖像操作員」的失誤。文化體育及旅遊局局長楊潤雄則認為事件不能接受，難以相信短時間內欖球賽事接二連三發生國歌相關事件。
Following last Sunday’s Asia Rugby Sevens Series, at which the Asia Rugby governing body mistakenly treated “Glory to Hong Kong” as Hong Kong’s national anthem, internet users noticed that subtitles in an online highlights clip of the 15-a-side Rugby World Cup qualifying international repechage match between Hong Kong and Portugal on November 6 displayed “GLORY TO HONG KONG NATIONAL ANTHEM OF HONG KONG” while “March of the Volunteers” was being played, again treating “Glory to Hong Kong” as Hong Kong’s national anthem. The video was removed from the channel this afternoon (19th). The Hong Kong Hong Kong China Rugby Union Rugby Union said in a statement this afternoon that the organiser, World Rugby, had apologised for the incident and explained that it was caused by a mistake by a “graphics operator”. Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Kevin Yeung said the incident was unacceptable and that it was difficult to believe that anthem-related incidents had occurred one after another at rugby events within such a short period.

近日捲入播錯國歌風波的香港欖球總會再陷爭議，香港代表隊出賽期間被指使用「錯版區旗」。香港欖球總會發聲明回應，指該面區旗是在頒獎禮播放中國國歌時，由一名球迷從觀眾席上交予球隊，相信球迷行為「並沒有惡意或任何不妥的企圖」。
The Hong Hong Kong China Rugby Union Rugby Union, which was recently embroiled in a controversy over the wrong national anthem being played, has become involved in another dispute after the Hong Kong representative team was accused of using a “wrong-version regional flag” during a match. In a statement, the Hong Hong Kong China Rugby Union Rugby Union said the flag was handed to the team by a fan from the stands during the awards ceremony when the Chinese national anthem was played, and said it believed the fan’s act “was not malicious or intended to cause any impropriety.”

Hong Hong Kong China Rugby Union Union: Team will immediately withdraw from competition if wrong national anthem is played again
周日（11月13日）亞洲七人欖球系列賽韓國站，主辦方將香港國歌誤播成《願榮光歸香港》引起軒然大波。南韓媒體《韓國時報》引述主辦方指，是因無收到港隊提供國歌，遂職員自行在網上搜尋及下載置頂的檔案。香港欖球總會今發聲明指在10月下旬已向亞洲橄欖球總會確認播放《義勇軍進行曲》，並指如日後再播錯國歌，球隊將會立即退出比賽。
At the Korea leg of the Asia Rugby Sevens Series on Sunday (13 November), organisers mistakenly played “Glory to Hong Kong” as Hong Kong’s national anthem, causing an uproar. The Korea Times quoted the organisers as saying that staff had searched for and downloaded the top file online because they had not received the anthem from the Hong Kong team. In a statement today, the Hong Kong China Rugby Union Union said it had confirmed with Asia Rugby in late October that “March of the Volunteers” should be played, and that the team would immediately withdraw from the competition if the wrong national anthem were played again.
