Protecting Critical Computer Systems: Draft Proposes Allowing Requests for Supplier Information; Earlier Reference to “National Security Considerations in Procurement” — Latest Code Draft Says Diverse, Open-Source Components Should Be Adopted
政府規管關鍵基礎設施及其電腦系統的專屬法例明年生效，據本報了解，當局近月向業界發出《實務守則》最後擬稿，說明受規管企業、機構如何履行新法例要求。據知，《守則》提及當局可向受管制營運者，索取包括涉及核心功能的電腦系統結構、處理敏感資料性質及數量、網絡圖、軟硬件生產商名單及電腦系統型號、資訊科技及電訊服務供應商資料等，以判斷是否屬關鍵電腦系統。
Dedicated legislation regulating critical infrastructure and its computer systems will take effect next year. According to information obtained by this newspaper, the authorities in recent months sent the industry the final draft of a Code of Practice explaining how regulated enterprises and organisations should fulfil the requirements of the new law. The draft reportedly states that the authorities may request regulated operators to provide information including the structure of computer systems involving core functions, the nature and quantity of sensitive data handled, network diagrams, lists of hardware and software manufacturers and computer system models, and information on information technology and telecommunications service providers, in order to determine whether a system is a critical computer system.

Hong Kong Teachers and Students Delegation Withdraws from Japan Exchange Programme to Ensure Participants’ Safety, Education Bureau Says
日本首相高市早苗早前發表「台灣有事論」後，中日關係漸趨緊張。香港保安局其後更新對日旅遊警示，教育局甄選的本港師生團亦退出下月在日舉辦的「21世紀東亞青少年大交流計劃」活動。教育局指，因近期中國公民在日本遭遇襲擊事件的趨勢增加，有關決定是為了確保參加者的安全。
Relations between China and Japan have gradually become tense after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi earlier made remarks on a “Taiwan contingency”. The Hong Kong Security Bureau subsequently updated its travel alert for Japan, while a Hong Kong teachers and students delegation selected by the Education Bureau also withdrew from next month’s “21st Century East Asia Youth Exchange Programme” activity in Japan. The Education Bureau said the decision was made to ensure participants’ safety, as there had recently been an increasing trend of Chinese citizens being attacked in Japan.

Casual-work group recruits people to vote in Legislative Council election, requiring ID cards; privacy watchdog warns against handing over data
12月7日立法會選舉在即，《香港01》發現有「炒散」招聘群組提供每人150元報酬，要求應徵者於12月7日投票，並表明只需投票便可收錢，沒指明投給哪名候選人。應徵者要先留下姓名、身份證及住址等個人資料，投票後要在票站外自拍作證明。
招聘的公司為「iCreate Marketing」，職員稱該招聘是受客戶委託找十幾人，透露有其他公司都接了這類工作，並承認會將收集的個人資料交予客戶。
廉署稱若活動純粹推廣選舉，沒有誘使選民在選舉中投票或不投票予某或某些候選人，選舉條例沒有施加限制。選舉事務處稱若發現有違法情況，會轉介執法部門跟進。私隱專員公署提醒市民應先了解收集資料目的及留意相關訊息的真確性。
With the 7 December Legislative Council election approaching, HK01 found that casual-work recruitment groups were offering HK$150 per person to applicants who voted on 7 December. They explicitly said applicants only needed to vote to receive payment, without specifying which candidate to vote for. Applicants first had to provide personal information including their names, identity card numbers and addresses, and take a selfie outside the polling station after voting as proof.
The recruiting company, iCreate Marketing, said the work had been commissioned by a client seeking more than 10 people. A staff member said other companies had also taken on similar work and acknowledged that the personal data collected would be passed to the client.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption said that if an activity was purely intended to promote the election and did not induce electors to vote or not vote for a particular candidate or candidates, the election legislation imposed no restrictions. The Registration and Electoral Office said that if any breach of the law was discovered, it would refer the matter to law-enforcement agencies for follow-up. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data reminded members of the public to first understand the purpose of data collection and pay attention to the authenticity of relevant messages.

Watchdog Group Exposes Dessert Shop’s “Fake Recruitment”; Labour Department Confirms Case and Bans It from Importing Foreign Workers for One Year Luke Ching Chin Wai Says Penalty Too Low
「補充勞工優化計劃」實施逾兩年，「假招聘」爭議不斷。勞工處前日（18日）宣布行政制裁經營甜品業務的 DOUX Limited，拒絕公司輸入勞工一年。處方指確認該公司在未獲同意下，修改申請職位在本地招聘的條件，包括工作地點及職務範圍，決定實施行政制裁。該個案由藝術家程展緯早前聯同外勞政策研究小組實測揭發，連同早前另一獲證實個案，程展緯向《獨媒》表示證明勞工處調查不足，「如果我哋咁細囈調查，都搵到兩個佢哋都覺得『證據確鑿』嘅 case，個比例好高。」
More than two years after the Enhanced Supplementary Labour Scheme was implemented, controversy over “fake recruitment” has continued. The Labour Department announced the day before yesterday (18th) that it had imposed an administrative sanction on DOUX Limited, which operates a dessert business, refusing the company permission to import labour for one year. The department said it had confirmed that, without approval, the company changed the conditions for local recruitment for the position applied for, including the workplace and scope of duties, and decided to impose the sanction. The case was exposed earlier through a field test jointly conducted by artist Luke Ching Chin Wai and the Foreign Labour Policy Research Group. Together with another previously confirmed case, Luke Ching Chin Wai told The Initium that the cases showed the Labour Department’s investigation was inadequate: “If an investigation as small-scale as ours could find two cases that they themselves considered to have ‘conclusive evidence’, the proportion must be very high.”

The FTU has fielded three candidates, while the Hong Kong Federation of Labour has fielded two, including Xiaosong Zhou, who is seeking re-election.

Introducing its platform, FTU Ken Kwong Yu Lee said it would promote trade unions’ advocacy of patriotism education. FTU Pak Tsan So said chapters on patriotism should be added to primary school textbooks. FTU Wai Kong Lam said it would promote the labour sector’s support for the SAR Government’s compilation of a century-long history of trade unions, among other measures.

2025 Legislative Council Election | Jacob Chak Pui Kam: MTR to run first trains earlier on polling day and continue encouraging employees and the public to vote
立法會選舉 12 月 7 日舉行，政府以至不同企業都陸續推出措施鼓勵員工和公眾投票。政府早前指選舉的投票開始和結束時間都會分別提早和延遲 1 小時，由早上 7 時半至晚上 11 時半；港鐵行政總裁金澤培今日（18 日）亦在《星島日報》專欄撰文，表示因應今次延長投票時間，港鐵將在選舉日提早開出頭班車，便利票站人員早作準備。
金澤培說，港鐵會善用站內廣告燈箱及部分出入閘機張貼出選舉的提示資訊，又會配合選舉事務處指引及便利身在內地的登記選民前往邊境票站，公司同時會積極配合政府選舉安排的部署，鼓勵和支持市民大眾投票。
為了鼓勵港鐵員工投票，金澤培說已透過內部通訊平台、辦公室張貼海報等宣傳選舉。考慮到部分港鐵員工需於選舉日值班，當日亦會加派人手當值，以作靈活調配和便利同事投票。
The Legislative Council election will be held on December 7, and the government and various businesses have successively introduced measures to encourage employees and the public to vote. The government earlier said that the voting period would start one hour earlier and end one hour later, from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. MTR Chief Executive Jacob Chak Pui Kam also wrote in a Sing Tao Daily column today (18th) that, in response to the extended voting hours, the MTR would run its first trains earlier on polling day to facilitate polling-station staff making preparations in advance.
Jacob Chak Pui Kam said the MTR would make use of advertising light boxes at stations and post election reminder information at some entry and exit gates. It would also follow the guidelines of the Electoral Affairs Commission and facilitate registered electors staying on the mainland in travelling to boundary polling stations. The company would at the same time actively support the government’s arrangements for the election and encourage and support members of the public to vote.
To encourage MTR employees to vote, Jacob Chak Pui Kam said election publicity had been carried out through internal communication platforms and posters displayed in offices. Considering that some MTR employees would need to be on duty on polling day, additional staff would also be deployed that day for flexible allocation and to facilitate colleagues voting.

Education Bureau Launches Primary School Legislative Council Election Worksheet
立法會選舉將至，Emily留意到教育局上周四（13日）推出小學人文科「2025年立法會換屆選舉自學工作紙」，畀小學生參考30秒政府宣傳片，再答選擇題，考問選舉投票日期、合資格選民年齡等。有題目問「選民要帶回鄉證、駕駛執照定身分證去票站投票？」，答案係身分證。工作紙末端呼籲小學生「記住提醒爸爸媽媽於2025年12月7日前往投票站投票！」
With the Legislative Council election approaching, Emily noted that the Education Bureau launched a “2025 Legislative Council General Election Self-Study Worksheet” for the primary school humanities subject last Thursday (the 13th). Primary school pupils are asked to watch a 30-second government publicity video and answer multiple-choice questions about matters including the election date and the age of eligible voters. One question asks whether voters should bring a Home Return Permit, driving licence or identity card to the polling station; the answer is an identity card. The worksheet ends by urging primary school pupils to “remember to remind their fathers and mothers to go to the polling station to vote on 7 December 2025!”
