訪問未能上載小紅書被抽 莊梅岩：荒誕粗暴 演藝：會跟莊校友保持聯繫
Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts alumna and veteran stage playwright Candace Chong Mui-ngam said in an open letter on social media on the 1st that an interview she had been invited to give for the academy’s 40th anniversary celebrations had been “cancelled” without notice. She cited a staff member as saying that the video could not be uploaded to Xiaohongshu, and said she was disappointed and heartbroken that the academy had excluded her for an unsubstantial reason. Chong said she could not tolerate such a “brutal and absurd” approach and asked the academy to respond within three days, including who had made the decision and why the interview had to be “cancelled” because it could not be uploaded to Xiaohongshu. She said the open letter might make her more sensitive and make it harder for her to rent venues, but that she had no regrets about allowing it to “become my epitaph in Hong Kong’s performing-arts career.”
The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts replied to enquiries on the evening of the 1st in fewer than 80 Chinese characters. It did not address why the interview had been pulled or whether this was related to the inability to upload it to Xiaohongshu, saying only that it had always been very grateful for the contributions of all academy members, including alumni. It added: “Alumna Candace Chong has made considerable contributions to the theatre sector. The academy will maintain communication with Chong regarding the relevant matters.”
香港演藝學院校友、資深舞台劇編劇莊梅岩，今（1日）在社交媒體發公開信，公開獲邀慶祝校慶 40 周年的訪問，在無通知下「被取消」，引述職員曾指其影片未能上載到「小紅書」，對校方為虛無的線索剔除她感失望和痛心。莊梅岩說絕不能容忍這種粗暴和荒誕，要求校方在三天內回應，是由何人作此決定、為何不能上載「小紅書」就要「被取消」等，最後指公開信或其令她更敏感、更難租場地，但仍無憾讓信件「成為我在香港演藝生涯的墓誌銘」。
演藝學院 1 日晚上以不足 80 字回覆查詢，未有回應為何抽起訪問、是否與未能上載小紅書有關等，僅稱一直十分感謝學院所有成員包括校友貢獻，並指「莊梅岩校友對戲劇界作出不少貢獻。學院會一直就相關事宜跟莊校友保持聯繫」。

嶺大學生會突被取消營地 兩機構未回覆查詢
The Lingnan University Students’ Union had planned to hold a three-day orientation camp from August 29, but the venues it had booked at two non-profit organisations—the Hong Kong PHAB Association Jockey Club PHAB Camp and Po Leung Kuk Pak Tam Chung Holiday Camp—cancelled the bookings, citing “flooding caused by black rain” and “emergency repairs” respectively. When 《獨媒》 contacted the two organisations last Thursday (August 28) to enquire about bookings for Saturday and Sunday, it was told that all accommodation places were full. When it visited the sites again the day before (August 30), repairs were being carried out at the entrance to the PHAB Camp, with no one seen entering or leaving, while people were using the Po Leung Kuk holiday camp. A student taking part in the orientation camp told the reporter that a repair notice had been posted at one of the camp lodges. Neither camp responded to 《獨媒》’s enquiries.
The Lingnan University Students’ Union had planned to hold its orientation camp from August 29 to 31. It first booked the Hong Kong PHAB Association Jockey Club PHAB Camp in Pok Fu Lam in mid-April, but was told on August 8 that the booking had to be cancelled because flooding caused by black rain had occurred. The Students’ Union then rented the Po Leung Kuk Pak Tam Chung Holiday Camp in Sai Kung in mid-August, successfully booking 11 group camps for 10 people, two family camps for six people and one family camp for eight people, and had paid a deposit. However, it was suddenly informed on August 22 that the camp site required emergency repairs and could not be provided.
嶺南大學學生會原定8月29日起一連三日舉辦迎新營，惟已預約的兩間非牟利機構場地，包括香港傷健協會賽馬會傷健營及保良局北潭涌度假營，分別以「黑雨水浸」及「緊急維修」為由取消預約。《獨媒》上周四（8月28日）向兩間機構查詢周六日預約，均被告之宿位已滿，至前日（8月30日）再到訪現場，傷健營大門正進行維修，未見有人進出，北潭涌度假營內則有人使用，有正參與迎新營的學生向記者表示，有營舍貼有維修通告。兩個營地皆未回覆《獨媒》查詢。
嶺南大學學生會原定8月29至31日舉行迎新營，今年4月中先向薄扶林的香港傷健協會賽馬會傷健營預訂營地，惟至8月8日被告知黑雨致水浸需取消。學生會遂於8月中租用西貢的保良局北潭涌度假營，成功租用11間10人團體營、2間6人家庭營及1間8人家庭營，並已交付訂金。然而至8月22日突然被通知營場須緊急維修，無法提供場地。

This year marks the 80th anniversary of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The HKSAR Government and various sectors of society have organised a series of activities in recent days, in what can be described as the largest scale in history. A large-scale drone show celebrating the 80th anniversary will be held at 8pm today (30th) along the Wan Chai waterfront. Lasting 15 minutes, the show will feature 1,200 drones lighting up the night sky over Wan Chai. The best viewing locations are the areas around the Wan Chai Water Sports and Recreation Theme Area. Images from yesterday’s (29th) rehearsal showed patterns formed by the drones, including a trumpet, a monument and butterflies.

綠惜地球｜環保先「鋒」榮休 遺憾垃圾徵費無期 嘆政府昔開放今「冷溝通」
As the waste charging scheme sparked intense controversy in society last year, with the public focusing on the chaotic operation of the “trial run” and inadequate recycling support, environmental group Green Earth founder Edwin Che Feng Lau travelled between media interviews, repeatedly stressing on camera the need for legislative regulation. Off camera, the 68-year-old appeared increasingly thin and slightly stooped. For health reasons, he will step down as Green Earth’s executive director from 1 September.
Looking back on 36 years in environmental protection, Edwin Che Feng Lau described the journey as “full of highs and lows, and very stimulating”. His greatest regret is the waste charging scheme, which has spanned 20 years but still has no implementation date. Having served three terms as a member of the Advisory Council on the Environment and been awarded the Medal of Honour for promoting environmental protection, he has witnessed the government’s shift from its formerly open attitude to today’s “cold communication”. In the difficult circumstances, he urged his successor to “stand firm amid the storm” and always speak with a conscience and the facts.
垃圾徵費去年在社會牽激烈爭議，公眾聚焦「先行先試」運作混亂、回收配套不足之際，環團「綠惜地球」創辦人劉祉鋒奔波於媒體間，在鏡頭前接受訪問，一遍又一遍重申立法規管的必要。鏡頭外，68 歲的他身型更顯瘦削，背部微微彎駝，因健康理由將於 9 月 1 日起卸任「綠惜地球」總幹事一職。
回望 36 年環保旅途，劉祉鋒形容「有高有低，好刺激」，最大遺憾是橫跨 20 年、仍實施無期的垃圾徵費。曾任三屆環諮會成員、因推動環保獲頒授榮譽勳章，他見證政府由昔日持開放態度到今日「冷溝通」，面對艱難環境，寄語接班人要「喺風雨飄搖中企喺度」，一定要用良心、用事實說話。

科大用電子告示板惹疑 校方澄清「唔取代實體」
Publicity materials from student societies are commonly seen around university campuses and are a major means of promotion for student organisations. The HKUST Students’ Union editorial board said on Instagram two days ago that HKUST’s Media Technology and Publishing Centre (MTPC) would use electronic noticeboards to replace physical noticeboards from the new academic year. It reminded student organisations that they would need to submit applications to the Dean of Students’ Office for approval in advance if they wished to use the electronic boards. Their content would also have to be rotated with publicity from other HKUST departments, with each display lasting 30 seconds. The arrangement prompted student dissatisfaction, with the HKUST Students’ Union saying it had been introduced without warning, lacked consultation and caused inconvenience.
The HKUST Students’ Union collected joint endorsements from 29 affiliated clubs or student organisations and put forward five demands, including immediately suspending the replacement plan and providing dedicated electronic noticeboards and airtime for affiliated clubs. It also said that if HKUST did not respond by tomorrow, it would not rule out taking further action to “defend the rights and interests of student organisations”.
大學校園角落唔難見到學會「文宣」，係各類學生組織嘅主要宣傳途徑。科大學生會編委會前日喺Instagram話，科大媒體科技及出版中心（MTPC）新學年起用電子告示板取代實體告示板，提醒學生組織如果想用電子板，要提早交畀學務長辦公室審批；內容亦要與科大其他部門嘅宣傳「輪播」，每次展示30秒。措施引發學生不滿，科大學生會話安排「無預警推出」、欠缺諮詢，亦造成不便。
科大學生會蒐集29個屬會或學生組織聯署，提出5項要求，包括立即暫緩更換計劃、增設屬會專用電子告示板同播放時間等，又話如果科大聽日前無回應，唔排除採取進一步行動「捍衛學生組織權益」

英《引渡法》修訂｜英內政部國務大臣翟偉紳回覆《集誌社》查詢：不會恢復與港引渡合作
Following the implementation of the 2020 Hong Kong National Security Law, the UK Government suspended its extradition agreement with Hong Kong. Reports last month said that the UK was planning to amend its Extradition Act and restore extradition arrangements, but the UK Government subsequently clarified that the extradition agreement would remain suspended. The Collective asked Home Office Minister Chak Wai-sun about the amendment last month and received a reply in recent days. Chak said the amendment was not intended to restore extradition cooperation, but to completely sever the UK’s extradition relationship with Hong Kong.
Chak stressed that the current government would never allow anyone to be extradited from the UK to Hong Kong or elsewhere for political reasons, or in a manner intended to suppress democracy or freedom of expression. He also said that UK courts had strong and robust powers under the Extradition Act to refuse any extradition request that was inconsistent with human rights or politically motivated. Chak said the safety of Hongkongers in the UK was of the utmost importance and that the UK Government would continue to defend their rights.
2020 年《香港國安法》實施後，英國政府暫停與香港逃犯移交協定，上月有報道指英國擬修訂《引渡法》、恢復引渡安排，英內政部其後澄清移交協定繼續暫停。《集誌社》上月就修例情況向內政部國務大臣翟偉紳查詢，日前獲回覆，翟偉紳表示，修例並非恢復引渡合作，而是徹底切斷與香港的引渡關係。
翟偉紳強調，現政府絕不容許任何人基於政治動機、或以打壓民主或言論自由的方式，從英國引渡到香港或其他地方，又指英國法庭在《引渡法》下有強大穩健的權力，拒絕任何不符人權或具政治動機的引渡請求。翟偉紳表示，在英港人的安全至為重要，英政府會一直捍衛港人權利。
