香港鐵路標準引內地規範 路政署：會因應颱風等香港獨特情況調整
The Highways Department and experts are formulating and updating the Hong Kong Railway Standards, with mainland standards to be introduced first for the Northern Link and the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Railway. Sze Kin-hang, deputy head of the department’s Railway Development Office, said on the RTHK programme Millennium年代 today (15th) that the new railway standards would cover various areas, including engineering and operations. They would draw on best practices from the mainland and overseas, and the introduction of mainland design standards, construction materials and equipment would shorten construction periods and reduce costs, in what he described as an “integrated” approach. The authorities will also study the use of Modular Integrated Construction, saying the technology is already mature on the mainland and hoping it will further speed up construction.
路政署與專家制訂及更新《香港鐵路標準》，率先在北環線及港深西部鐵路引入內地標準。路政署鐵路拓展處副處長施鍵恒今（15日）在港台節目《千禧年代》中表示，新鐵路標準將涵蓋不同範疇，包括工程及營運上，吸收內地及海外最佳實踐，並透過引入內地設計標準、建築物料、裝備等，縮短工期和降低成本，形容是「集大成」的做法。當局亦會研究應用組裝合成法，指相關技術在內地已發展成熟，期望能進一步加快工程時間。

明日大嶼｜批約$ 6.1 億公帑做研究 已用四億 發展局：會繼續進行 守護大嶼聯盟：即停研究，公開環評
Secretary for Development Bernadette Linn said in a written reply to Legislative Council members on Wednesday (10th) that the reclamation works for the Kau Yi Chau project could not commence during the current-term Government’s tenure, and that it would be inappropriate to continue the environmental impact assessment process. However, the Government will continue and complete studies that have already begun. The Collective’s review of the records found that the Legislative Council Finance Committee and the Capital Works Reserve Fund had approved a total of more than HK$615 million for preliminary studies for the project. The Development Bureau told The Collective that expenditure had reached about HK$400 million by the end of the 2024–25 financial year. The Save Lantau Alliance said the Government should immediately stop all unfinished environmental impact assessments and other technical feasibility studies for Lantau Tomorrow Vision (the Kau Yi Chau Artificial Islands), and should make completed environmental impact assessment reports public.
發展局長甯漢豪周三 （10 日）以書面回覆立法會議員表示，交椅洲項目填海工程，未有條件於本屆政府任期內開展，環評程序也不宜繼續推進。不過，已展開的研究，政府會繼續完成。《集誌社》翻查資料，立法會財委會及基本工程儲備基金撥款，合共批出逾 6.15 億元，為有關項目作前期研究之用。發展局回覆《集誌社》查詢表示，直至 2024-25 財政年度完結，有關開支約四億元。守護大嶼聯盟認為，政府應立即停止所有明日大嶼 (交椅洲人工島) 未完成的環評或其他技術可行性研究，並需要公開已完成的環評報告。

明日大嶼束之高閣？ 發展局：環評暫停 本屆政府未有條件填海
The HKSAR Government proposed the Lantau Tomorrow Vision large-scale land reclamation and development plan in 2018, with the Kau Yi Chau artificial islands as its core project. However, the current government has shifted its development focus to the Northern Metropolis, and the artificial islands have faded from policy discussions. The Development Bureau said today that conditions did not exist for the Kau Yi Chau reclamation project to begin during the current government’s term. It also disclosed that the project’s statutory environmental impact assessment procedure had been suspended, and that there was no clear timetable for the reclamation works.
特區政府在2018年提出「明日大嶼」大型填海造地計劃，當中核心項目為交椅洲人工島，但現屆政府將發展重心放於北部都會區建設，交椅洲人工島淡出政策討論。發展局今日表明，交椅洲填海工程未有條件於本屆政府任期內開展。她又透露，該項目的法定環評程序已暫停，填海工程亦沒有明確時間表。

有使用者指泳池新吹風機手柄過熱 康文署：因應市民意見適時改善
Government-procured items have recently sparked controversy. A reader told The Independent Media that the handles of newly installed hairdryers in the changing rooms at Kwun Tong Swimming Pool had become overheated. Although protective rubber guards were later added, the hairdryers were subsequently taken out of use. A reporter visited other swimming pools in Kowloon and also found the new model, but no protective rubber guards had been added. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department told The Independent Media that it had been monitoring the use of facilities at its venues and would consult and study the matter with relevant works departments, including the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, and make improvements when appropriate in response to public views and suggestions.

涉揭露臥底警身份 私隱署要求搜尋結果下架 Google 拒絕：純為合法新聞活動
Google’s latest Public Information Report shows that the Hong Kong government made 36 requests to remove content in the second half of last year, involving 126 items. Ultimately, 41 items were removed. In one case, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data asked Google to remove seven website search results, saying they disclosed an undercover police officer’s name, university and other information. Google considered the content part of lawful journalistic activity and ultimately did not remove it.
Police made the most removal requests. The report said that since 2011, Google had received 430 removal requests from the Hong Kong government involving 2,001 items. The latest figures cover July to December 2024. Police made the most requests, with 23, followed by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, with seven.

警方提出的移除要求最多
《報告》指出，自 2011 年以來，Google 收到來自香港政府的移除要求共 430 次，涉及 2,001 個項目。最新數字統計去年下半年，即 2024 年 7 月 至 12 月，由警方提出的移除要求最多，有 23 次，其次是私隱專員公署，有 7 次。

公僕水患｜比對新舊標書 棄「雙軌」評分 入閘即價低者得
The Government was cheated out of more than $50 million in a water procurement case. Director of Government Logistics Chan Ka-wah responded yesterday, describing the incident as a “fraud case” and saying the existing procurement mechanism was inadequate and lacked sufficient capacity to block “bidders intent on committing fraud”. This was the first time a mainland Chinese drinking-water brand had won a government tender. The successful supplier, “Xin Ding Xin”, had no previous record of supplying drinking water; its director had a history of debt, and it had previously been involved in a “fraud” lawsuit. The public questioned how the company was able to win the tender and whether the Government had relaxed its bidding requirements.
The Collective asked the Treasury Bureau about the matter and obtained the 2023 and 2025 tender documents for drinking water. A comparison of the documents found that, despite the longer contract period and the larger volume of goods and number of delivery locations involved, the “dual-track” scoring system previously used—under which technical and price factors each accounted for half of the score—had been scrapped in the latest tender. Suppliers only had to meet the basic specifications to qualify, after which the contract would go to the bidder offering the lowest price per litre. The Treasury Bureau said in response that the specifications for bottled water were simple and clear, and that the required technical specifications and delivery arrangements had been listed as mandatory requirements in the tender documents. It stressed that the change did not affect the quality requirements for drinking water.
政府以逾 5000 萬元買水被呃，物流服務署署長陳嘉信昨開腔回應，將事件定性為「騙案」，又指現行採構機制不足，未有足夠能力堵塞「存心詐騙嘅投標者」。今次是政府首次有內地飲用水品牌中標，中標的供應商「鑫鼎鑫」從未有供應飲用水「往績」、董事有欠債紀錄、更曾捲「詐騙」官司。公眾關注公司為何能中標、政府有否放鬆投標資格？
《集誌社》向財庫局查詢，獲 2023 年和 2025 年兩份飲用水的招標文件。翻查比較文件下，發現在合約期更長、涉貨量和派送地點更多下，此前沿用的「雙軌」評分制、即技術和價格各佔一半，在今次招標被取消；供應商只要符合基本規格入閘，便以每公升價格計「價低者得」。財庫局回覆查詢指，樽裝水規格簡單明確，指定技術規格和運送安排，已在招標文件內列為必要要求，強調改變不影響飲用水的品質要求。

政府刊憲 警方擬剔除人民力量、學民思潮等6組織社團註冊
The Government gazetted an announcement on Friday (22nd) stating that the Police believe nearly 300 societies have ceased to exist. Unless the societies prove to the Police within three months that they still exist, they will be removed from the Register of Societies.
The list includes People Power, Scholarism, the Tin Shui Wai Livelihood Concern Platform, the Sha Tin Community Network, Kowloon City Matters and Tseung Kwan O Youth Power. A review of available information shows that the six societies have pro-democracy backgrounds, and some of their members are defendants in the case involving 47 pro-democracy figures.
