棄選立法會｜回應選舉「七殺令」 特首：都係佢哋個人選擇
The nomination period for the Legislative Council election does not begin until the 24th of this month, but a wave of withdrawals has already emerged. By last night (13th), at least 12 lawmakers had announced that they would not seek re-election, including seven veteran lawmakers aged over 70. Asked today (14th) whether the “over-70” threshold would be extended to other public office holders, including the Chief Executive and appointed officials, Chief Executive John Lee said the lawmakers who would not stand came from different age groups and had their own reasons. He added: “These are all their personal choices. I respect their decisions.”
立法會選舉提名期本月 24 日才開始，已爆出「棄選潮」，至昨晚（13日）有最少 12 名議員宣布不參選，當中有七人為為年過 70 歲的資深議員。行政長官李家超今（14日）被問及「年過 70 歲」界線會否延伸至其他公職人員，包括特首、委任官員等時，指表示不會參選的議員來自不同年齡組別、「有各自原因」，又指「呢啲都係佢哋個人選擇，我尊重佢哋決定」。

棄選立法會｜「棄選」雙料議員 冇人辭行會 可做到 2027 盤點行會議員年齡 逾半過七十
With the Legislative Council election approaching, 13 incumbent lawmakers have so far announced that they will not seek re-election for reasons including age, family and studies. Four of them—Christopher Cheung, Chan Kin-por, Jeffrey Lam and Martin Liao—are also non-official members of the Executive Council. The first three are over 70, while Liao is 68. Regina Ip, the 75-year-old convener of the Executive Council and chairwoman of the New People’s Party, has so far only said the matter would be “announced in due course” and asked reporters not to harass her, telling them to “move along” and “not block me from holding a meeting.”
Asked whether Executive Council members who are also Legislative Council lawmakers would need to be replaced if they did not stand for election, Chief Executive John Lee said the Legislative Council and Executive Council were different. The terms of Executive Council members run concurrently with the Government’s five-year term, until June 30, 2027, and “no Executive Council member has indicated an intention to resign before the completion of the term.”
Of the Executive Council’s 16 current non-official members, nine are over 70. The oldest is 80-year-old Arthur Li, who is serving his third term.
立法會選舉臨近，至今已有 13 名現屆議員，以年齡、家庭、學業等原因宣布不參選。棄選 13 人中，有四人包括張宇人、陳健波、林健鋒、廖長江身兼行政會議非官守成員的「雙料議員」。前三人年過 70 ，廖長江則已 68 歲。剩下 75 歲的行會召集人、新民黨主席葉劉淑儀，暫只說了句「適時公布」、請勿騷擾，叫記者「行開」，「唔好阻住我開會」。
身兼行會成員的立法會議員，若不參選是否需要換人？特首李家超指立法會與行政會議不一樣，行會成員任期與政府的五年任期一致，直至 2027 年 6 月 30 日，「冇行會成員表示打算在任期完成前辭任」。
盤點現時行會 16 名非官守成員中，有九人超過 70 歲，其中最年長是 80 歲、已任三屆的李國章。

簡約公屋「減料」｜組裝合成屋涉剪螺絲、漏水 特首：手工問題
Public housing projects using Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) have recently been embroiled in issues involving screws being cut short and water seepage in newly occupied units. Asked today (14th) whether rushing construction had led to problems with quality supervision, Chief Executive John Lee stressed that “Modular Integrated Construction is safe”, reiterating that it was a “workmanship issue during construction”. He urged contractors to strengthen supervision, and said the Government had set up an investigation team to identify the causes and would pursue the contractors’ responsibility.
採用「組裝合成」(MiC) 的公營房屋工程近日捲入螺絲被剪短、新入伙單位滲水問題。行政長官李家超今（14日）被問及是否趕工令品質監督出問題時，強調「組裝合成係安全嘅」，重申是「施工方面嘅手工問題」，要求承建商加強監督，又指政府已成立調查隊查找原因、會追究承建商責任。

The nomination period for the Legislative Council election has not yet begun, but a wave of lawmakers announcing that they will not stand has already emerged.

The Labour Department announced yesterday that the Neighbourhood and Workers’ Service Centre and The Association for the Women’s Centre Limited had breached the approval conditions for the Mandatory Basic Safety Training Course (Construction Work), commonly known as the Safety Card course. The department suspended recognition of both organisations to run Safety Card courses for six months. A tutor at the former disclosed all the examination questions and answer choices to students before the examination, while the latter failed to properly supervise the examination, with some students discussing answers with one another.
勞工處昨公布，街坊工友服務處及香港婦女中心協會有限公司違反「強制性基本安全訓練課程（建築工程）」（俗稱平安卡課程）批核條件，暫停兩機構舉辦平安卡課程認可6個月。其中前者有導師於考試前向學員披露試卷所有試題及可供選擇答案，後者則有導師監考時未發現部分學員互相討論答案。

垃圾收費｜埋單最少花 2.64 億元 拒公開指定袋合約金、銷售開支：涉商業資料未能透露
The Environment and Ecology Bureau announced at the end of last month that waste charging would “continue to be suspended”. Secretary for Environment and Ecology Tse Chin-wan said that understanding public sentiment demonstrated that the authorities were “doing their utmost to discharge their responsibilities”. Over the past four years, the government has spent at least $264 million promoting the policy. The Collective had earlier asked the government about expenditure on designated bags, designated labels and sales. The bureau replied that the matter had been handled in accordance with the contract terms and procedures, but details could not be disclosed because they “involved the commercial information of individual suppliers”. As for the 170 million designated bags, whose production cost was about $74 million, the authorities also did not disclose how many had been distributed or the current inventory, saying only that they were used for publicity and education and provided for use by government departments.
環境及生態局上月底公布「繼續暫緩」垃圾收費，局長謝展寰說掌握民情體現了當局「盡力履行責任」。過去四年，政府花費最少 2.64 億元推動政策，《集誌社》早前追問政府有關指定袋、指定標籤、銷售等開支數目；局方回覆指已據合約條款和程序處理，但由於「涉及個別供應商商業資料」未能透露詳情。至於生產成本約 7400 萬元的 1.7 億個指定袋，已派多少個、目前庫存為何？當局亦未透露數字，僅稱用於宣傳教育、提供予政府部門等使用。

During the Oct. 1 Golden Week, large numbers of visitors flocked to Kiu Tsui Island in Sai Kung. Some trampled on coral, lit fires for cooking and dug for marine produce along the shore, damaging the geopark’s ecosystem. The Environment and Ecology Bureau said on Facebook yesterday (5 October) that it would conduct joint operations with the police and others until the end of the Golden Week, stating that “the situation at Kiu Tsui Chau has returned to normal”.

簡約公屋｜小欖項目爆螺絲擅被剪短 承辦商三項目同涉結構裝置問題 建築署調查：與組件質素無關
In mid-September, screws on brace plates connecting to the core wall at the Lok On Pai Light Public Housing project in Siu Lam, Tuen Mun, were suspected of having been cut short without authorisation. The Buildings Department announced today (6th) that it had found further issues involving structural installations carried out on site at three Light Public Housing projects—the Siu Lam project, Yan Po Road in Tuen Mun, and Sheung On Street in Chai Wan—by the On Po–Chun Gou Joint Venture. The department has formed a dedicated task force to investigate, stressing that the incident was unrelated to the quality of the modular assembly components and instead involved on-site work procedures. It said it would pursue the responsibility of the parties concerned in accordance with the contract terms.
Secretary for Housing Ho Wing-yin said at a Legislative Council meeting today that the problems were discovered through proactive inspections by the department, demonstrating that the system was effective, and that all the issues were “remediable”. Director of Buildings Lee Kiu-yin said the department inspected the three projects and found that six per cent of the 4,000 screws examined had been cut short, while the connection holes in a further 20 per cent of the steel plates had been enlarged.

政府連日派員巡查橋咀島 保護珊瑚傳單僅印繁體及英文
Sharp Island was nearly overrun during the National Day holiday, prompting concern over ecological damage. The government sent staff to inspect the island on Saturday (the 4th), but said they had “not seen anything unusual”; the beach had been cleaned and it believed visitors’ behaviour would not have a major impact on the coral areas. The Stand News visited the island today and found personnel from various departments conducting inspections and distributing leaflets. The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department distributed its 2013 Code of Conduct for the Protection of Hong Kong’s Coral Areas, whose content was in Traditional Chinese and English. Asked whether it would be able to distribute Simplified Chinese leaflets before the Golden Week holiday, the department said it was producing publicity materials in multiple languages—Traditional and Simplified Chinese and English—and would launch them as soon as possible.
橋咀島於十一國慶假期幾乎淪陷，破壞生態引起關注，政府周六（4日）已派員到島上視察，不過結果是「見唔到特別情況」，沙灘已回復潔淨，並相信遊客行為對珊瑚區不會有大影響。《獨媒》今日登島視察，各部門人員均在現場巡查及派發單張，其中漁護署派發2013年的保護香港珊瑚區守則，不過內容為繁體中文及英文。本網向漁護署查詢會否趕及在黃金周前派發簡體中文單張，署方回覆指正製作多語言（繁簡中文和英文）的宣傳品，會儘快推出。

高中中史及歷史優化課程框架出爐 新增課題包括中共成立 2030年DSE起適用
The Education Bureau issued a circular to schools today (the 3rd), announcing the enhanced curriculum frameworks for senior secondary Chinese History and History. The new frameworks are planned for full implementation in Secondary 4 in the 2027/28 school year and will apply to the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education examinations from 2030 onwards. Based on the existing curricula, the enhanced Chinese History curriculum updates some topic content, while the History curriculum updates and consolidates content from different topics. In terms of assessment, the Education Bureau said both subjects would introduce more diverse and objective question types.
Under the latest curriculum framework, the compulsory part of Chinese History will continue to be divided into Parts A and B. Part A, “Ancient Chinese History”, is divided into five historical periods covering the period from ancient times to the mid-Qing dynasty. Part B, “Modern Chinese History”, is likewise divided into five historical periods. Compared with the existing framework, new topics include “The Founding of the Chinese Communist Party” and “The New Era of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics”. The elective component will be reduced from six units to three.
History currently consists of the introduction “The Making of the Modern World”, Theme A “Modernisation and Transformation in 20th-Century Asia”, and Theme B “Conflict and Cooperation in the 20th-Century World”. Under the new framework, there will be three units. Unit 1, “The Formation of the Modern World”, includes topics such as the colonial expansion of imperialist countries and resistance in Latin America and Asia. Unit 2, “War and Peace”, covers the two world wars and the Cold War, among other topics. Unit 3, “China and the World”, covers the period from the founding of the Communist Party to the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, as well as China’s development and achievements. The History elective component will also be restructured into two units, of which students may choose one.
教育局今（3日）向學校發出通函，公布優化高中中國歷史科及歷史科課程框架。新課程框架擬於2027/28學年在中四級全面推行，並適用於2030年及以後的香港中學文憑試。優化課程以現行課程為基礎，其中中史科更新部分課題內容；歷史科則更新及整合不同課題的內容。評核方面，教育局表示，兩科均會引入更多元性及客觀性的題型。
根據最新課程框架，中史科必修部分繼續分為甲、乙兩部分，其中甲部「中國古代史」劃分為五個歷史時期，內容涵蓋上古至清朝中葉；乙部「中國近現代史」同樣劃分為五個歷史時期，對比現有課程框架，新增的課題包括「中國共產黨的成立」、「中國特色社會主義新時代」。選修部分則由以往6個單元減至3個單元。
歷史科現設引言「現代世界的孕育」、主題甲「二十世紀亞洲的現代化與蛻變」及主題乙「二十世紀世界的衝突與合作」。新框架下設3個單元，包括「現代世界的形成」，課題包括帝國主義國家的殖民擴張及拉丁美洲和亞洲的反抗；單元2「戰爭與和平」涵蓋兩次世界大戰、冷戰等；單元3「中國與世界」則涉及共產黨創建到中華人民共和國成立、中國的發展與成就。歷史科亦重設選修部分，設兩個單元，可二選一。
