立法會財委會批5500萬元購相控陣天氣雷達
The Legislative Council Finance Committee has approved an allocation of $55 million for the Hong Kong Observatory to purchase three phased-array weather radars.
The three radars will be installed at Cheung Chau, Lau Fau Shan and Tung Lung Chau respectively. The Observatory said they could form a radar network covering the whole of Hong Kong together with the existing phased-array weather radar at Sha Lo Wan, enhancing its radar image services and the operation of the Rainstorm Warning System. The three phased-array weather radars will also be installed at lower locations, allowing their scanning range to reach down to several hundred metres and providing meteorological information for drones and small aircraft.
立法會財務委員會通過撥款5500萬元，讓天文台購入3台相控陣天氣雷達。
獲批撥款的3台雷達將分別安裝於長洲、流浮山和東龍洲，天文台指可與現時沙螺灣的相控陣天氣雷達組成覆蓋全港的雷達網絡，提升天文台的雷達圖像服務及暴雨警告系統運作。此外，3台相控陣天氣雷會安裝在較低位置，掃瞄範圍可低至數百米，可為無人機及小型飛機等提供氣象資訊。

孫東催促好趁光刻工具未禁運快撥款 財委會速過28億
Although top mainland technicians can polish surfaces to a roughness of “5 nanometres”, key lithography tools for chip production technology still have to be imported from abroad. The Legislative Council Finance Committee discussed this afternoon the allocation of HK$2.83 billion to establish the Hong Kong Microelectronics Research and Development Institute, focusing on the development of third-generation semiconductors. Equipment for the pilot production line includes lithography tools. Michael Tien of Roundtable asked whether the US election could affect exports of lithography machines. Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry Sun Dong said that I-line lithography tools for third-generation semiconductors were not on foreign embargo lists, repeatedly stressing that the funding had to be approved “quickly”. After just 84 minutes of discussion, the Finance Committee approved the funding by a show of hands without a roll-call vote.
雖然內地有頂級技師可以磨研「5奈米」的粗糙度，不過在生產晶片技術的關鍵光刻工具，仍要靠外國入口。立法會財委會今午討論斥資28.3億元設立「香港微電子研發院」，主攻研發第三代半導體，「中試線」設備包括光刻工具。實政圓桌田北辰關注美國大選會否影響光刻機出口，創科局長孫東表示第三代半導體的「I線光刻工具」不在外國禁運名單，多次強調撥款「時間要快！」結果僅討論84分鐘，財委會就以不記名方式，舉手通過撥款。

華豐大火｜三年獲撥款$49 萬 油尖旺防火會做過乜？
A No. 3 alarm fire broke out at Hua Fung Building in Yau Ma Tei yesterday (11th), and the scene had still not been reopened this morning. Residents complained that dilapidated light boxes and electrical wires had remained on the building’s first floor for a long time, with no avenue for complaints. The incident also revealed that the building had failed to comply with a mandatory building inspection order for seven years, and had not followed the “Fire Safety Directions” issued by the Buildings Department in 2008, including requirements such as replacing smoke doors.
Following the Government’s “improving district governance” initiative, greater importance has been placed on the functions of district committees, District Fight Crime Committees and District Fire Safety Committees ("the three committees"). In early April this year, the Government announced the list of nearly 3,000 new "the three committees" members, including 526 fire safety committee members. According to an introduction by the Home Affairs Department, fire safety committees are responsible for promoting fire safety and other matters relating to building safety. They also conduct relevant education and publicity work and work with owners’ corporations to promote and co-organise building fire drills. What work has the Yau Tsim district fire safety committee carried out over the past few years in relation to the Hua Fung Building fire?
油麻地華豐大廈昨（ 11 日）發生三級火，現場今晨仍未解封；有住客投訴，大廈一樓長期有破爛的燈箱和電線，投訴無門。事故亦揭發大廈違令七年未完成強制驗樓令，亦未有遵辦屋宇署在 2008 年發出的「消防安全指示」如更換防煙門等。
政府「完善地區治理」後，看重分區委員會、地區撲滅罪行委員會及地區防火委員會（三會）職能，今年 4 月初政府剛公布近 3000 名新三會委員名單，當中包括 526 人為防火會委員。根據民政事務總署簡介，防火會負責推廣防火安全及其他有關大廈安全事宜，亦會舉行相關教育和宣傳工作、與業主立案法團推廣協辦大廈防火演習等等。華豐大廈大火，油尖區防火會過去幾年又做了甚麼工作？
