Chan Long Sing Unable to Book Venues Through SmartPLAY Account; LCSD: No Comment on Individual Cases

陳朗昇康體通帳戶無法訂場 康文署:不評論個別個案

Former Hong Kong Journalists Association chairperson Chan Long Sing posted on social media recently that he was unable to book a football pitch through “SmartPLAY 康體通”. He said he had called the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) to enquire, but its “investigation” had still not received a reply after two months. The LCSD told CitizenNews that it did not comment on individual cases. Chan told CitizenNews that the LCSD’s response was “brilliant”, and said he believed he had been blacklisted: “It’s pretty obvious—I’m taking it as such.” He acknowledged that he was unhappy, saying: “It’s not as if this has caused huge inconvenience in my daily life, but in principle, can you deprive someone of the freedom to rent a venue like this?”

前記協主席陳朗昇日前在社交媒體發文,指無法透過「SmartPLAY 康體通」預訂足球場,曾致電康文署查詢,「調查」至今兩個月仍未有回覆。康文署回覆《獨媒》表示,不評論個別個案。陳朗昇向《獨媒》表示,康文署的回應「精彩」,認為自己被列入黑名單:「都幾明顯㗎喇,我當咗係。」他坦言感到不開心,「帶來生活上好大不便又不是嘅,但原則上咁樣剝奪一個人租場自由,係咪可以咁樣呀?」

Trade Unions Ordinance amendment passes third reading; those convicted of national security offences barred for life from holding office; new registrations may be refused to safeguard national security

職工會條例修訂三讀通過 違國安者終身禁任職 可因護國安拒工會新登記

The Government proposed amendments to the Trade Unions Ordinance to improve the regulatory system for trade unions and safeguard national security. The amendments include prohibiting those convicted of national security offences from serving as trade union officers or acting as initiators of applications to register trade unions. The Legislative Council today passed the Trade Unions (Amendment) Bill 2025 by secret ballot at its third reading. The amended Ordinance will be gazetted on July 4 and take effect on January 5 next year. The Labour Department said it would step up publicity and prepare reference materials during this period to help trade unions understand and comply with the new requirements. The bill covers various amendments, including empowering the Registrar to refuse applications for the registration or merger of trade unions where necessary to safeguard national security. There will be no appeal mechanism: applicants may not appeal the decision to the court, but may seek judicial review. The amendments also propose that those convicted of national security offences may not serve as trade union officers or act as initiators of applications to register new trade unions. Anyone who breaches this provision and is convicted on indictment is liable to a Level 5 fine, namely $50,000, and imprisonment for three years.

政府提出修訂《職工會條例》以完善職工會規管制度及維護國家安全,包括禁止被裁定干犯危害國安罪行者任職工會職員或發起申請工會等。立法會今日以不記名方式,三讀通過《2025年職工會(修訂)條例草案》。修訂條例將於7月4日刊憲,並於明年1月5日起實施,勞工處稱,其間會加強宣傳及編製參考資料,協助職工會明瞭及遵行新規定。 條例草案涵蓋多項修訂,包括賦權登記局長可基於維護國安需要,拒絕職工會新登記或合併申請,不設上訴機制,申請人不可就決定向法院提出上訴,但可以司法覆核。修例也提出,被裁定干犯危害國安罪行者不得任職工會職員或作為申請新工會登記的發起人,違者經循公訴程序定罪,可處第5級罰款、即5萬元,以及監禁3年。

Soft resistance | Responding to criticism over funding scrutiny, Chief Executive says: “Soft resistance exists. Petty people are everywhere”

軟對抗|回應文體旅嚴批資助 特首:軟對抗係存在。小人滿街

Five years after the National Security Law came into force, Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, visited Hong Kong for five consecutive days last week. Several senior officials of the Hong Kong SAR Government had earlier given newspaper interviews, with at least eight bureau chiefs mentioning the need to remain alert to “soft resistance”. Rosanna Law Shuk-pui, Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, said it existed in performance content, song lyrics and storylines, and that funding applications, performances at venues and exhibition content should be vetted more rigorously. Playwright Chong Mui-ying had earlier written that soft resistance could become nuisance actions, or lead to innocent people and works being wrongfully blamed, making society overly cautious and prone to overcorrection. Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu was asked this morning how to distinguish soft resistance from cultural and artistic creation, and whether this could lead to overcorrection. He stressed: “It is true that soft resistance exists, and it may be lurking in different places and any field. Some of it is even carried out under different names, and can sound as if it is sanctimonious.” He also urged members of the public to “keep your eyes open and watch carefully”, saying: “Hong Kong people really are gentlemen, but petty people are everywhere. We should be a little more careful.”

《國安法》實施五年,港澳辦主任夏寶龍上周一連五日訪港,特區政府多名高官,早前接受報章專訪,最少 8 名局長提及要警惕「軟對抗」,如文體旅局局長羅淑佩指其存在於表演內容、歌曲歌詞、故事情節,要更嚴謹審批資助、場地表演、展覽內容等。劇作家莊梅岩早前發文批軟對抗或成擾民行動,或冤枉無辜的人和作品,令社會變得步步為營、矯枉過正。 行政長官李家超今早被問及如何分辨軟對抗和文化創作藝術,會否矯枉過正?他強調「軟對抗存在係真實嘅,而且潛伏喺唔同地方、各領域都有可能,有啲仲係以不同名義,聽起來仲好似係道貌岸然添。」又籲市民「要擦亮眼睛,小心睇住」,形容「香港人真係好君子,但係小人滿街,我地小心啲。」

Soft resistance|Responding to criticism of stringent funding controls, Chief Executive: “Soft resistance exists. Petty people are everywhere”

軟對抗|回應文體旅嚴批資助 特首:軟對抗係存在。小人滿街

Five years after the National Security Law came into force, Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, visited Hong Kong for five consecutive days last week. Several senior officials of the HKSAR Government had earlier given newspaper interviews, with at least eight bureau secretaries mentioning the need to guard against “soft resistance”. Rosanna Law Shuk-pui, Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, said it existed in performance content, song lyrics and storylines, and that stricter scrutiny was needed for funding applications, venue performances and exhibition content. Playwright Candace Chong had earlier written that soft resistance could become nuisance actions, or result in innocent people and works being wrongly blamed, causing society to become overly cautious and leading to overcorrection. Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu was asked this morning how to distinguish soft resistance from cultural and artistic creation, and whether this could lead to overcorrection. He stressed: “The existence of soft resistance is real, and it may be lurking in different places and across various fields. Some of it is even carried out under different names, and may sound as though it is sanctimonious.” He also urged members of the public to “keep your eyes open and watch carefully”, saying: “Hong Kong people are really very gentlemanly, but petty people are everywhere, so we should be a little more careful.”

Bernadette Linn says “soft resistance” can easily arise in developing Hong Kong, stresses it will not be allowed to fester

甯漢豪稱發展香港時易生「軟對抗」 強調不會任由發酵

With the Hong Kong National Security Law to reach its fifth anniversary next week, several secretaries and bureau directors have mentioned “soft resistance” in recent media interviews. In a newspaper interview today, Development Secretary Bernadette Linn also cited the development of Hong Kong as an area where “soft resistance” could easily arise. She specifically said that an organisation had deliberately smeared the amendment of the Protection of the Harbour Ordinance by exaggerating that the Government would “fill in Victoria Harbour” and that “Victoria Harbour would become land”. She said this was a provocative act with ulterior motives that had to be rebutted. She stated that the bureau would monitor areas carrying a “risk of soft resistance” and “would not let it fester”.

《香港國安法》下周實施5周年,多名司局長近日接受傳媒專訪時不約而同提及「軟對抗」。發展局局長甯漢豪今日在報章專訪中亦舉例指局方在發展香港時容易衍生「軟對抗」,並特別提到有組織故意抹黑修訂《保護海港條例》,誇大渲染政府會「填平維港」、「維港變成陸地」,認為是別有用心的挑逗,不得不反駁。她表明局方會留意有「軟對抗風險」的環節,「不會任由其發酵」。

National Security Law fifth-anniversary sharing: Vivian Kong received preferential treatment during mainland exchange as a young athlete; Ngai Ting Chong: Peking University admission prompted teacher to say, “You’ve become completely mainland”

國安法五周年分享 江旻憓:年少到內地交流獲優待 莊雅婷:入北大被中學老師指「成個人大陸晒」

The Government held a forum and two seminars yesterday (June 21) marking the fifth anniversary of the promulgation and implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law. The afternoon session featured Secretary for Justice Paul Lam Ting-kwok, former Olympic gold medallist Vivian Kong, entertainer Brian Ting Zi-lang and Sai Kung District Councillor Ngai Ting Chong. Kong said that she had visited the mainland for an exchange programme 20 years ago and was given preferential treatment. Ngai Ting Chong said that after being admitted to Peking University, a secondary school teacher looked them over and sarcastically said, “You’ve become completely mainland,” and that they had therefore always wanted to prove that there was nothing wrong with being patriotic. At the seminar, Kong said that 20 years ago, at the age of 12, she had gone to the mainland as a young athlete for an exchange programme. At the time, athletes were assigned to different dining hall floors according to their results, with only the best or top athletes able to eat on the third floor and enjoy the best food. She received preferential treatment: “We were directly allowed to go up to the third floor to eat. At that time I thought, even I hadn’t achieved that—only national champions might be able to eat on the third floor. Since we were there for exchange and training as athletes from Hong Kong, and normally ate very well, they gave us special treatment and let us eat better.” She therefore cherished the opportunity greatly and trained hard to represent Hong Kong.

政府昨日(6月21日)舉行公布實施《港區國安法》五周年論壇及兩場座談會,其中下午一節由律政司司長林定國、前奧運金牌得主江旻憓、藝人丁子朗及西貢區議員莊雅婷交流。江旻憓稱20年前曾到內地交流,獲安排優待。莊雅婷則稱考入北大後,被中學老師打量,諷刺稱「你成個人都大陸晒」,故一直想證明愛國沒有錯。 江旻憓座談會上分享指,20年前作為12歲的青年運動員到內地交流,當時運動員的食堂按成績分派到不同樓層進食,成績最好或頂尖運動員才能到3樓,享用最好的食物。她當時獲得優待,「一嚟直接俾我哋上3樓去食,咁我個陣覺得我都無攞呢啲,全國冠軍先可能先上到3樓去食,咁我哋因為中國香港嚟交流訓練,平時食得好好嘅,就會特別優待我哋食得好啲。」她因此非常珍惜機會,並好好練習代表香港。

US8964 owner’s Transport Department file locked, approval required for transfer: “Not the Hong Kong I know”

「US8964」車主運輸署檔案被鎖致買賣需approval:唔係我認識嘅香港

The former owner of the “US8964” licence plate, Anthony Chiu, told HK01 on the eve of this year’s June 4 that the vehicle which had borne the plate had been arranged to be transported out of Hong Kong and would no longer be driven in the city. He is moving overseas and recently bought another vehicle, which he plans to transport overseas for use there, while the “US8964” licence plate is being transferred to another person. When Anthony Chiu went to the Transport Department the day before yesterday to complete the procedures, he was told that his personal file had been “locked” by the Hong Kong Police Force and that permission was required before the procedures could proceed. He returned to the Transport Department yesterday and took nearly three hours to complete the procedures. Anthony Chiu told HK01 that he still had not processed what had happened, saying it had overturned his understanding of Hong Kong and declaring: “It’s not the Hong Kong I know.” On June 4 in each of the past three years, police stopped and searched the Porsche sports car bearing the “US8964” licence plate when it was being driven on the roads; in the previous two years, they also towed it away for detention. This year, on June 4, the owner, Anthony Chiu, had stated beforehand that he would no longer drive the vehicle and had arranged for it to be transported away. He also told HK01 that he and his family had been subjected to harassment over the years.

原「US8964」車牌車主招先生,在今年六四前夕向《獨媒》表示,原掛上該車牌的車輛已安排運離香港,不會再在港行駛。他將移居外地,日前購入另一部車輛,打算運往外地使用,原「US8964」的車牌則轉讓予他人。前日招先生到運輸署辦理手續,獲告知其個人檔案遭警務處「Lock 住」,需獲許可才能進行手續。他昨日再到運輸署,耗時近三小時才完成手續。招先生向《獨媒》表示,至今仍未消化事件,認為顛覆了他對香港的認知,直指「唔係我認識嘅香港」。 過去三年6月4日,警方皆截查當日在馬路上行走、車牌為「US8964」的保時捷跑車,前年及去年更拖走扣查。今年六四,車主招先生則在當日前明言不會再駕駛該車輛,並已安排運走。他亦向《獨媒》表示,過去一直他及家人一直受到滋擾。

Care Teams | Contractors receive HK$42 million in “community participation” funding; an inside look at their “snake, vegetarian dishes, cakes and rice dumplings”

關愛隊|承辦團體「社區參與」經費達 4200 萬元 直擊關愛隊「蛇齋餅粽」

All 452 Care Teams will undergo a changeover in September this year. The authorities will increase funding by 50%, with each team receiving HK$1.5 million over two years, involving a total of HK$678 million. The Government has repeatedly stressed that Care Teams provide unpaid services. Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak has said that Care Team members “even pay out of their own pockets to volunteer”. However, in addition to funding of HK$800,000 to HK$1.2 million every two years, Care Teams also have “hidden funding”. Care Teams are operated by district organisations. The Collective consolidated more than 7,000 records of funding under “Community Participation Programmes” from district offices and district councils, and found that over the past two years at least 235 Care Team operators received more than HK$41.8 million to organise 588 district activities. These included 187 activities such as vegetarian basin feasts, tea gatherings at teahouses and day trips. Of these, 88 activities, or 15%, were listed as being organised or co-organised by Care Teams, involving HK$3.535 million. Reporters attended several free or low-cost recreational activities, including a HK$25 tea gathering, and examined their costs. A district councillor said that activities and services which previously required resources had gradually been “taken over by the Care Teams” from councillors, and that they were now “doing fewer things to honour the elderly and promote filial piety”.

全港 452 支關愛隊將於今年 9 月「換屆」,當局將增加五成資助額,每支關愛隊獲兩年期資助 150 萬元,共涉款 6.78 億元。政府多次強調關愛隊是無償服務,民政及青年事務局長麥美娟曾言關愛隊「甚至係貼錢出嚟做義工服務」。不過,關愛隊除有每兩年 80 至 120 萬元的資助額,其實還有「隱藏經費」。 關愛隊由地區團體承辦,《集誌社》整合各區民政處和區議會撥款的 7000 多個「社區參與計劃」紀錄,發現過去兩年,最少有 235 個關愛隊承辦團體,獲撥款逾 4180 萬元舉辦 588 個地區活動,當中如盆菜齋宴、茶樓茶聚、一日遊等便佔 187 個;其中 15% 、即 88 項活動列明由關愛隊主辦或合辦,涉款 353.5 萬。 記者直擊多項免費或廉價康樂活動,包括 25 元茶聚,拆解活動成本。有區議員形容,過去需要資源覆蓋的活動、服務,慢慢由議員「去咗關愛隊做」、現時「少咗做敬老揚孝嘢」。

Education Secretary says ‘soft confrontation’ tactics emerging in schools; tighter vetting of teaching materials and external partners planned

蔡若蓮指校園「軟對抗」手法抬頭 將加強審查教材、校外合作機構

On the fifth anniversary of the promulgation and implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, a number of principal officials have been giving newspaper interviews in turn. Secretary for Education Christine Choi Yu-lin said that “soft confrontation” tactics were emerging in schools, such as embedding messages opposing China and destabilising Hong Kong in teaching materials or books, or concealing political propaganda in ordinary activities. She said the Education Bureau had introduced a number of measures, including tighter vetting of teaching materials, external partner organisations and the backgrounds of people involved, to prevent “anti-China and destabilise Hong Kong” activities. In an interview with Wen Wei Po, Choi said that after the current-term government took office, it introduced various measures to further strengthen national education and national security education in schools. These included requiring every school to appoint a designated coordinator and setting key performance indicators (KPIs) for areas including curriculum design and teacher training. She said all the indicators had met their targets.

《香港國安法》在港頒布實施5周年,一眾司局長輪流接受報章訪問。教育局局長蔡若蓮表示,校園「軟對抗」的手法抬頭,例如在教材或書籍中滲透反中亂港訊息,或通過普通活動隱藏政治宣傳等,指局方已推行多項措施包括加強審查教材、校外合作機構及其參與人士背景,以杜絕「反中亂港」行為。 蔡若蓮接受《文匯報》訪問,稱現屆政府上任後推出多項措施,以進一步加強學校內的國民教育及國家安全教育,包括要求每間學校指派專責統籌人員,並在課程設計及教師培訓等方面制定關鍵績效指標(KPI),而所有指標都已達標。

[July 1] Hong Kong Celebrations Association to Hold Events at Victoria Park, with “Culture x Innovation and Technology” Theme

【七一】香港各界慶典委員會維園辦慶祝活動 主題「文化 x 創科」

Since 2017, Victoria Park on July 1 has no longer been the starting point for the march, and has instead hosted celebrations marking the return of Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Celebrations Association announced yesterday that it will hold large-scale celebratory events at Victoria Park from June 29 to July 1. This year’s events will centre on the theme “Culture x Innovation and Technology”. The association said the events would “combine traditional Chinese elements with modern technology and design, showcasing the prosperous scene of Hong Kong and the motherland developing in step and with high quality.” Records show that from 2017 to 2019, the Victoria Park Football Pitch was rented by the celebrations association and could not serve as the starting point for the July 1 march. The march therefore started from the Central Lawn during those years. In 2020, the Civil Human Rights Front’s application was rejected by police on the grounds of “epidemic prevention”. In 2021, police cordoned off Victoria Park under the Public Order Ordinance. From 2022 to the present, the park has continued to be rented by the Hong Kong Celebrations Association during the July 1 period for four consecutive years.

自2017年後,七一當日的維園已不再是遊行的起點,取而代之的是慶祝回歸活動。香港各界慶典委員會昨日宣布,將於6月29日至7月1日在維園舉辦大型慶祝活動,今年活動以「文化 x 創科」為主軸,慶委會稱為「結合傳統中華元素與現代科技設計,展現香港與祖國同頻共振、高質發展的繁榮景象。」 翻查資料,七一的維園足球場自2017年起至2019年,已因被慶委會租用而無法成為遊行起點,當年七一遊行需改以中央草坪作遊行起點。2020年,民陣的申請則被警方以「防疫」為由拒絕。2021年,警方則根據《公安條例》將維園圍封。2022年起至今連續四年的七一期間,則續由香港各界慶典委員會租用。
