前公民黨區議員轉投香港新方向 李煒林：選區大小都No Problem
The District Councils will undergo a change of term at the end of the year, and the Government has yet to announce its reform proposals. Media reports citing sources said directly elected seats would be cut to one-third and constituencies would also be enlarged. Former Civic Party district councillor William Wai Lam Li joined Hong Kong New Direction and has been an assistant to Legislative Council member Gary Xinyu Zhang for nearly a year. Asked whether William Wai Lam Li would contest the District Council elections under the new system, William Wai Lam Li did not respond directly but said: “No problem” with constituency size.
區議會將在年底換屆，現時有待政府公布改革方案，有傳媒引述消息指，直選議席將大減至三分一，選區亦會擴大。前公民黨區議員李煒林轉投香港新方向，成為立法會議員張欣宇助理近一年。被問到會否參選新制下的區議會選舉，李煒林未有正面回應，但就表示「選區大小都No Problem」。

掛頸牌遊行被指「狗繩」 鄧炳強批有人挑動仇恨、危害國安
On the 26th of last month, residents of Tseung Kwan O marched against reclamation in the district. Police required participants to wear neck tags and proceed within cordoned-off areas. The march organiser later criticised the requirements as insulting, comparing them with measures such as making Jews wear armbands. Speaking after attending an event today, Secretary for Security Chris Tang said the arrangements were routine and intended to ensure that the march would not be “hijacked”. He also accused those who described the neck tags as “labelling Jews” and “dog leashes” of deliberately smearing the government, inciting hatred and endangering national security.
上月26日將軍澳居民遊行反對區內填海，參加者被警方要求佩戴頸牌及在封鎖線內前行，遊行申請人其後批要求具侮辱性，如「猶太人戴臂章」。保安局局長鄧炳強今日出席一個活動後回應，稱有關安排是慣常做法，為確保遊行不會被「騎劫」，又批評形容掛頸牌是「標籤猶太人」和「狗繩」的人是刻意抹黑政府、挑動仇恨，及危害國家安全。

政府刊憲宣布醫管局員工陣線解散
The Government announced in the Gazette that the Hospital Authority Employees Alliance (HKEA) was dissolved last Friday under the Trade Unions Ordinance. HKEA had already approved its dissolution at a special general meeting in June last year and said in a Facebook post that it had no regrets about choosing to stand at the forefront of the storm, adding: “See you in the future.”
政府刊憲宣布，醫管局員工陣線（HKEA）上周五已經根據《職工會條例》宣布解散。早在去年6月，HKEA已在特別會員大會通過解散，並透過Facebook貼文表示不後悔當初選擇站在風暴的前緣，寄語「未來見」。

關愛隊獲選團體僅十個有社媒 「荃景圍婦女會」被警方質疑已停運
The 18 Districts Care Teams were first piloted in Tsuen Wan and the Southern District, and the Government announced the selected groups today. All 36 neighbourhood Care Teams were taken by pro-establishment organisations, although few participated directly under political party names; most were represented by local satellite or affiliated organisations. InMedia’s review of the selected groups’ backgrounds found that only 10 Care Teams had independent Facebook pages. Even among those with Facebook pages, the number of likes was low: Tsuen Wan District Friends Association had only six likes and posted just twice in a year. Last year, the Police at one point suspected that the Tsuen King Circuit Women’s Association had ceased operations, and a Gazette notice proposed removing it from the Register of Societies. The association appeared in public one month after the notice was published, attending a seminar on the spirit of the 20th National Congress organised by the Home Affairs Department.
「18區關愛隊」率先在荃灣和南區試行，政府今公布獲選團體，36個「小區」關愛隊，全部由建制組織包辦，但鮮有政黨名義直接參與，多由地區衛星團體或友好組織出面。《獨媒》翻查獲選團體背景，只有10支關愛隊有獨立Facebook專頁。即使有FB，讚好數目亦不多，其中「荃灣地區之友社」只有6個讚好，一年只出兩篇貼文；「荃景圍婦女會」在去年更一度被警務處懷疑已停止運作，刊憲擬將組織從社團名冊剔除，婦女會在刊憲後一個月「露面」，出席民政處舉辦的「二十大精神講座會」。

政府公布荃灣、南區關愛隊名單 有前建制區議員任夥伴團體
The Government has announced the selection results for the District Services and Care Teams in Tsuen Wan and Southern District, with all the places taken by organisations with pro-establishment backgrounds. Both districts have numerous pro-establishment satellite organisations. InMedia found that in Tsuen Wan, a former pro-establishment district councillor openly became a partner organisation of a Care Team. Former Tsuen Wan District Council chairman Wee Keat Ng and former district councillor Chit Pun Cheng participated respectively under the names of their offices and community service office.
In last year’s Policy Address, Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu announced the establishment of Care Teams in all 18 districts to support the Government’s district work and strengthen district-based networks, with 36 sub-areas in Tsuen Wan and Southern District serving as pilot areas. Applications for the first-stage selection opened on 21 December last year. Members of applicant organisations were required to declare that they upheld the Basic Law and pledged allegiance to the Government, and were required to have organised at least two types of activities supporting and cooperating with government policies over the previous five years, including epidemic-prevention activities, celebrations of the return to the motherland, and sharing sessions on the spirit of the Chinese Communist Party’s 20th National Congress.
政府公布荃灣、南區「地區服務及關愛隊伍」遴選結果，全數由擁有建制背景的團體囊括。兩區都不乏建制派的衛星組織，《獨媒》發現，荃灣更有建制派前區議員「明刀明槍」成為關愛隊的夥伴團體，前荃灣區議會主席黃偉傑、前區議員鄭捷彬，分別以其辦公室、社區服務處名義參與。
行政長官李家超在去年《施政報告》宣布成立18區關愛隊，支援當局地區工作及加強地區網絡組織，在荃灣、南區共36個小區作試點。第一階段遴選在去年12月21日接受報名，申請團體成員須聲明擁護《基本法》及效忠政府，並必須在過往5年舉辦至少兩類支持和配合政府政策的活動，包括抗疫、慶回歸，及中共二十大精神分享會等。

警倡52億換通訊系統 前線可傳影畫 採用5G 另建影像平台AI辨疑人 議員促訂使用守則
Police have proposed spending about 5.2 billion to build next-generation communications system infrastructure using a 5G mobile broadband network, enabling frontline officers to transmit voice, video and images in real time while on duty. The system would replace the current terrestrial trunked radio technology, known as TETRA, which can only transmit voice; its cost includes the purchase of about 33,000 radio handsets. Police have also proposed spending about 390 million to build a digital image-processing platform to replace the use of DVD discs to back up video evidence. The platform would include artificial intelligence (AI) image-analysis tools to identify suspicious people and vehicles, enhancing police investigative and intelligence-analysis capabilities in various fraud cases and cases involving national security and public safety.
警方建議斥資約52億元，建立新一代通訊系統基礎設施，以流動寬頻5G網絡，讓前線警員執勤時可實時傳遞聲、影、畫等信息，取代目前只能用作語音傳輸的「地面中繼式無線電」（即TETRA）技術；通訊系統的費用包括添置約3.3萬個無線電對講機。警方另建議斥資約3.9億元建構數碼影像處理平台，取代以DVD光碟備份影片證據；並配置人工智能（AI）影像分析工具，辨識可疑人物及車等，提升警方在各類騙案、涉及國家安全及公眾安全案件的偵查及情報分析能力。

新思維籌款晚宴兩應邀官員「甩底」 何俊賢送本地雞支持
The Third Side, which described itself as non-establishment when it contested elections, held its eighth-anniversary fundraising dinner last night (28th). Two government officials who had originally agreed to attend failed to show up at the last minute. Chairman Tik Chi-yuen said there was no need to link the incident to politics and described the dinner as merely a “community gathering”. Several pro-establishment legislators nevertheless attended to show their support. Hoey Simon of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong brought local chickens, saying that attending the dinner demonstrated “confidence in the system” and that legislators produced under the system of patriots administering Hong Kong should all receive support. Party Secretary General Han Kim-tak said six-figure donations had been raised, with the total still being counted.
參選時自稱「非建制派」的新思維昨晚（28日）舉行八週年籌款晚宴，原本答應出席的兩位政府官員臨時「甩底」，惟主席狄志遠認為無須聯想到政治層面，又形容是次晚宴只是「民間聚會」。不過，昨晚獲多名建制議員「捧場」，民建聯何俊賢就送本地雞，稱出席晚宴是體現「制度自信」，愛國者治港制度下產生的議員都應該得到支持。黨總幹事韓劍德表示，現籌得6位數字捐款，總額仍在統計中。

香港律師會明赴京訪問 會長陳澤銘：23條立法太遲 應廣泛進行諮詢
The Hong Kong Law Society will lead all its Council members on a five-day visit to Beijing on the 27th. In an interview with Cable TV yesterday (25th), President Chan Chak-ming said that although there is no time limit for legislating Article 23 of the Basic Law, Hong Kong has been reunified for nearly 26 years, and it is already too late that it has still not fulfilled its constitutional responsibility.
香港律師會將率全體理事會成員於27日赴京訪問，為期五日。會長陳澤銘昨（25日）接受《有線電視》訪問時表示，基本法23條立法雖沒有設時限，但香港已回歸近26年，仍未能完成憲制責任已屬太遲。

醫管局：9名大灣區醫生及70護士4月到港公院工作
Hong Kong is facing a severe shortage of healthcare workers. The Hospital Authority announced last September the Greater Bay Area healthcare talent exchange programme to “recruit talent”. Its chairman, Henry Fan, gave an update after attending a Hospital Authority meeting today, saying that nine specialist doctors and 70 nurses from the Greater Bay Area will arrive in Hong Kong in April to work at different public hospitals. Most of the nurses have more than 20 years of experience, with an average of more than eight years’ experience. Henry Fan said this would be a good start and expressed hope that the programme would become increasingly mature.
香港醫護人手嚴重短缺，醫管局去年9月公布大灣區醫療人才交流計劃「搶人才」。主席范鴻齡今日出席醫管局大會會議後交代最新情況，指9名大灣區專科醫生及70名護士將在4月抵港，到不同公立醫院工作。大部份護士擁有逾20年年資，平均有8年以上經驗。范鴻齡表示將會是個好開始，期望計劃愈來愈成熟。

警聲：反恐熱線獎金首度發放 司機篤炸彈恐嚇案
One of the police force’s key tasks this year is “all-out anti-terrorism”. To encourage members of the public to report cases, the force established a reward scheme, saying rewards could reach hundreds of thousands of dollars, but only those making reports under their real names would be eligible. The police publication Police Voice said it had so far received more than 14,500 reports, many of which had successfully assisted in solving cases. Examples included an employee discovering threatening messages on a company’s social media platform and someone reporting a friend for illegally possessing explosives. Police Voice also said that a report by a driver led to the arrest of two people in a bomb threat case. Following a rigorous review, a reward was paid to the informant this month, but the amount was not disclosed.
警隊今年其中一個重點工作是「全民反恐」，為了利誘市民舉報，警隊設獎金機制，稱賞金可以達數十萬元，但要實名舉報才有資格。警方刊物《警聲》透露，至今收到逾14,500條舉報訊息，不少成功協助破案，例如員工發現公司社交平台有恐嚇留言，有人舉報朋友非法管有爆炸品等。《警聲》又指透過一名司機舉報，令警方拘捕兩名涉及炸彈嚇詐案人士，經嚴格審批，今月向舉報人發放賞金，但沒有透露金額。
