特首炒人｜被炒「雙雄」 死因重組 楊潤雄未達 KPI 林世雄解說力弱
The State Council announced this morning (5th) that Yang Yun-hung had been removed as Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism and Lam Sai-hung as Secretary for Transport and Logistics. What led to the dismissal of the “duo”? A review of the record shows that several projects under Yang’s tenure went awry, including multiple projects funded by the Mega Arts and Cultural Events Fund becoming embroiled in conflict-of-interest controversies. He also failed to publish the Blueprint for the Development of the Arts and Culture and Creative Industries on schedule, leading Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu to single him out. In addition, when Chief Executive John Lee met the media today with the two new bureau secretaries, he stressed that he appreciated their “ability to explain”. Compared with Lam Sai-hung, who has an engineering background, this was indeed a weakness of his.
國務院今（5日）早宣布免去楊潤雄文化體育及旅遊局局長、林世雄運輸及物流局長職務。被炒「雙雄」，死因是甚麼？翻查資料，楊任內負責的多個項目「甩轆」，包括文化藝術盛事基金（下稱盛事基金）資助的多個項目捲利益衝突爭議、未能如期公布《文藝創意產業發展藍圖》（下稱文藝藍圖）以致被特首李家超點名等。另外，特首李家超今日帶同兩位新局長見傳媒時強調，賞識兩位新局長的「解說能力」，對比工程師出身的林世雄而言，這一環，的確是他的弱項。

律政司前國際法律專員林美秀 下月接任平機會主席
The government has appointed a new chair of the Equal Opportunities Commission. Former Department of Justice international law specialist Linda Mei Sau Lam will succeed Ricky Chu Man-kin and take up the post on the 11th of next month. Records show that in March 2019, Linda Mei Sau Lam, then Deputy Director of International Law (Mutual Legal Assistance) at the Department of Justice, attended a press conference with then Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, Secretary for Security John Lee Ka-chiu and others, giving a “one chicken, three flavours” response to the interim report of the Commission of Inquiry into the Shatin to Central Link project, the tunnel toll adjustment proposal under the three-tunnel traffic-distribution scheme, and amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance.
Ricky Chu Man-kin, the current chair of the Equal Opportunities Commission, previously served as director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption’s Corruption Prevention Department and secretary-general of the Independent Police Complaints Council. He took office in April 2019 for a three-year term. The authorities announced in April 2022 that Chu would be reappointed as chair of the Equal Opportunities Commission for a two-year term, but no timetable for legislating against “intra-ethnic discrimination” had been set during his tenure.
政府委任新任平等機會委員會主席，前律政司國際法律專員林美秀接替朱敏健，將在下月11日履新。翻查資料，在2019年3月，林美秀當時為律政司副國際法律專員（司法互助），並與時任行政長官林鄭月娥、保安局局長李家超等出席記者會，「一雞三味」回應沙中綫工程調查委員會中期報告、三隧分流的隧道費調整方案，及修訂《逃犯條例》。
平機會現任主席朱敏健曾任廉政公署防貪處處長、監警會秘書長，他2019年4月上任，任期3年。當局在2022年4月宣布再委任朱敏健為平機會主席，任期為兩年，惟其任內仍未有就「族內歧視」訂立法時間表。

夏寶龍晤主要官員了解「由治及興」進程成果 陳國基稱獲肯定
Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, visited Hong Kong for seven days and left on 28 February, the day the consultation period on Article 23 legislation ended. His key itinerary this afternoon was a meeting with principal officials at the Central Government Offices. After the meeting, Chief Secretary for Administration Eric Chan Kwok-ki did not say whether the central government had given Hong Kong a “big gift”, saying only that policies offering benefits to Hong Kong would be announced in due course. Although officials had indicated that Article 23 legislation was not the focus of Xia’s visit, Chan acknowledged that the work was discussed at the meeting. He said Xia had come to Hong Kong to learn about the results and plans in the progress of advancing “from governance to prosperity”. Chan said Xia highly recognised and affirmed the work of the current-term government, and encouraged officials to unite as one.
國務院港澳辦主任夏寶龍來港考察7日，直至2月28日離開，即23條立法諮詢期結束的一天。夏寶龍今日下午的重點行程是在政總與問責官員會面，政務司司長陳國基在會面後見記者，未交代中央有否贈送「大禮」給香港，僅稱「優惠香港」政策會適時公布。雖然官方放風稱夏寶龍今趟行程重點不在23條立法，但陳國基承認會上談及23條工作，指對方親臨香港了解香港推動由治及興的進程中「成果係點呢，計劃係點呢」。他稱夏寶龍非常認可和肯定今屆政府工作，並鼓勵結團一致。

政界同仇敵愾「反駁」美斯 葉劉要求永久禁止入境
Messi was unable to play due to injury during his visit to Hong Kong, but came on as a substitute for 30 minutes in a friendly match in Japan yesterday, prompting Hong Kong politicians to unite in condemning him. The most forceful view so far came from New People’s Party chairwoman Regina Ip, who wrote on social media platform X that Hong Kong people hated Messi, claimed that a “hidden hand” had deliberately plotted against Hong Kong, and demanded that Messi never be allowed to enter Hong Kong again. Junius Ho continued his “wolf warrior” stance, saying, “A gentleman does not leave a grudge unavenged,” and further accused Messi of “insulting China”.
美斯在訪港期間因傷未能上陣，昨日卻在日本友賽後備上陣30分鐘，令香港政界「同仇敵愾」炮轟美斯。暫時「走得最前」的意見，要數新民黨主席葉劉淑儀，她在社交媒體X發文，稱港人痛恨美斯，指有「幕後黑手」有心計算香港，更要求永不允許美斯入境香港。何君堯就繼續「戰狼」，指「有仇不報，非君子也」，更指美斯「辱華」。
