劉國勳促設展館介紹北都 洪為民：南金融北創科未反映社會實況
Hung Wai-man, an adjunct professor at the College of Business at City University of Hong Kong, said that although the government had established the Northern Metropolis Co-ordination Office, its director was only a D4-level official, questioning whether the director could “manage so many bureaux”. He also said the government currently hopes to develop the city along the lines of “finance in the south, innovation and technology in the north”, but this did not reflect social realities, as the south also has innovation and technology industries such as Cyberport, and not all young people want to work in innovation and technology-related fields.
香港城市大學商學院特約教授洪為民表示，政府雖設立北部都會區統籌辦事處，但主任僅為D4級官員，質疑其是否能「治到咁多局」；他又指現時政府希望以「南金融、北創科」發展，但並沒有反映社會事實，因南亦有數碼港等創科產業，也不是所有青年都想從事創科相關領域。

城規會接納粉嶺高球場擬建屋地修訂為未決定用途 哥球會：極度遺憾
The Town Planning Board has decided to accept the temporary amendment of a 9.5-hectare site at Fanling Golf Course originally intended for housing development to an “Undetermined Use” zone. The golf club expressed extreme regret. The Board held five public hearings last month on the development of 32 hectares at Fanling Golf Course. Following a closed-door meeting on Monday, it decided to accept the Planning Department’s earlier proposal, allowing the Civil Engineering and Development Department to re-examine the design and layout of public housing, building heights and other matters.

民建聯倡加強推動「地攤經濟」 陳學鋒：可振興內需
As Hong Kong’s economy moves towards a full return to normality, the Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong earlier conducted a Consumer Confidence Index survey. The results indicated that the economy had generally returned to normal, but that the public’s willingness to spend remained weak. Legislative Council member Chan Hok-fung suggested that the Government strengthen promotion of the “street-stall economy”, including holding “Happy Markets” again, which could help revive and promote domestic demand and increase short-term spending by the public.
本港經濟邁向全面復常 ，民建聯早前進行「消費者信心指數」調查，指結果顯示經濟整體已復常，但市民消費意欲不足。立法會議員陳學鋒建議政府加強推動「地攤經濟」，包括再次舉辦「開心市集」，可有助振興及促進內需，以增加市民短期消費

譚耀宗批彭定康仍對香港「齮齮齕齕」 稱曾遭港英打壓拒借大會堂
Tam Yiu-chung, former Standing Committee member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and vice-president of the National Hong Kong and Macao Studies Association, published a new book and held a sharing session at the Book Fair on Saturday. Tam said that when he was responsible for cultural and recreational activities at the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, he once applied to use City Hall but was refused: “We were singing and dancing, and weren’t talking about anything else, but they still wouldn’t let us. Everything was banned! Even that wasn’t allowed!” He criticised former Hong Kong governor Chris Patten for still “finding fault” with Hong Kong: “You keep talking about this and that! Look at your ancestors— even when we rented a venue, they suppressed us!”
前全國政協常委、全國港澳研究會副會長譚耀宗出版新書，周六在書展舉行分享會。譚耀宗提到，當年在工聯會負責文娛康樂活動，曾向大會堂申請場地卻遭拒批：「我哋唱歌跳舞，無講其他嘢都唔俾，都禁！咁樣都唔得！」他批評，前港督彭定康仍對香港「齮齮齕齕」：「又話呢樣嗰樣！你睇吓你啲祖宗，我哋租個場都俾佢打壓！」

國安法「泛化利用」討論急轉彎 「靖海侯」剎車 《大公》：誤讀可休矣
The mainland political blog “Jinghaihou（”, which has ties to official media, earlier published an article criticising Hong Kong officials and legislators for readily invoking the National Security Law, acting on the principle of “better to err on the side of the left than the right, regardless of the consequences”. This prompted some pro-establishment factions to echo the criticism and express their views. However, “Jinghaihou（” applied the brakes yesterday by publishing an article titled “Exploiting the Topic—Do Not Let It Become ‘Soft Resistance’”, saying that some people had overinterpreted and exploited its article, and changing its position to say that Hong Kong needs to continue setting things right. Ta Kung Pao appeared to put the matter to rest today by publishing a commentary titled “The ‘One Country, Two Systems’ Principle Is Its Greatest Distinctive Feature—Do Not Let Others Lead the Rhythm”, stating bluntly that “misreading” can stop, and saying that “people with ulterior motives setting the pace” is precisely a phenomenon and risk of “soft resistance”.
有官媒背景的內地政治博客「靖海侯」早前發表一篇文章，批評有港官和議員動輒利用國安法，做事「寧左勿右，不管後果」，引起建制部分派系「共鳴」抒發己見。不過「靖海侯」昨日剎車，再發表《借題發揮，莫成了「軟對抗」》一文，指有人過度解讀及借題發揮其文章，改稱香港有必要繼續撥亂反正。《大公報》今日一錘定音，刊登《「一國兩制」是最大獨特性 別讓人帶偏節奏》評論，直言「『誤讀』可以休矣」，又指有「別有用心人士帶節奏」，正正就是「軟對抗」的現象和風險。

中大校董：段崇智及管理層具「智慧」處理黑衣人 令校園破壞較少未如理大般「火光熊熊」
The committee on the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Amendment) Bill 2023 held its first meeting today. Kelvin Yu Ming Yeung, chair of the CUHK Alumni Senate and also a member of the University Council, sent an open letter yesterday to committee chairwoman Leung Mei-fun, saying that the Bill had not been formally discussed or approved by the University Council and urging consideration of the Council’s views. The Bill was privately introduced by three Legislative Council members and was said to target CUHK Vice-Chancellor Duan Chongzhi. Ooi Hong Lim, another University Council member elected by the Alumni Senate, said that Duan opposed “Violent CUHK” and that it was due to the “wisdom” of him and the management in 2019 that damage on the CUHK campus was more limited, unlike at PolyU, where “flames were blazing”.
《2023年香港中文大學（修訂）條例草案》委員會今日舉行首次會議，身兼校董的中大校友評議會主席楊于銘，昨日向委員會主席梁美芬發出公開信，指《草案》未經校董會正式討論及通過，要求需考慮校董會的意見。草案由三名立法會議員私人提出，被指為針對校長段崇智。同樣為校友評議會選任校董林偉雄則稱，段反對「暴大」，2019年是基於他及管理層的「智慧」，才令中大的校園破壞較少，未如理大般「火光熊熊」。
