沙田官小家長發起聯署 促撤回校內測考可用簡體字
Shatin Government Primary School’s decision to allow students to answer school tests and examinations in simplified Chinese has sparked major controversy. A group of parents launched a petition, arguing that the arrangement is unfair to local students and expressing dissatisfaction that the school introduced it without consultation. They are demanding the withdrawal of the new assessment standard. As of the afternoon of 7 November, the petition had received 320 signatures.
The reply slip only provided an option to support the school. On Monday, 3 November, Shatin Government Primary School issued a notice to parents saying that, to provide a more accommodating assessment environment for students from mainland backgrounds or those accustomed to using simplified Chinese, and to allow local students to become familiar with the two Chinese writing systems, it would follow the public examination guidelines of the Education Bureau and the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority. Students in Primary 2 to Primary 6 would therefore be allowed to answer school tests and examinations using standard simplified Chinese characters. The school stressed, however, that traditional Chinese characters remained the mainstream writing standard and that the curriculum would continue to use traditional Chinese characters as its main teaching content.
沙田官立小學容許校內測驗及考試使用簡體字作答一事，引起極大爭議。有家長發起聯署，認為做法對本地生不公，更不滿校方零諮詢下推行，要求撤回新評分標準，截至今日（11月7日）下午已獲320個簽名。
回條只設支持學校選項
沙田官立小學周一（11月3日）向家長發通告，指為內地背景或習慣使用簡體字的學生提供更友善評核環境，並讓本地學生認識兩種中文書寫體系，故參照教育局及考評局公開考試指引，允許二至六年級學生在校內測驗及考試使用正規簡體字作答，但強調繁體字仍是主流書寫標準，課程亦繼續沿用繁體字為主要教學內容。

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」

浸大更換清潔承辦商 7日前始通知 部份月薪僅加0.32元
Baptist University’s contract with its outsourced cleaning contractor, Wai Hong Environmental Services Company Limited, expires today. The university will replace it with a new contractor, Johnson Holdings Limited, effective tomorrow. The transition has caused controversy: incumbent cleaners only attended a briefing arranged by Johnson a week ago. Johnson’s proposed monthly salary for day-shift workers is $13,899, just $0.32 more than before, while some workers will see their wages reduced. Joe Wong, chairperson of the Cleaning Services Employees’ Union, went to Johnson’s head office this morning to submit a joint letter signed by 105 workers, calling for improved pay and employment benefits.
The handover process has been rushed, but the company is believed to be a conscientious business.
Johnson has still not signed new contracts with all of the approximately 200 workers. The Cleaning Services Employees’ Union submitted the joint letter signed by 105 Baptist University workers to Johnson’s head office this morning, urging the company to arrange the handover as soon as possible.
浸會大學與外判清潔承辦商「惠康環境服務有限公司」的合約今日到期，校方將更換新外判商「莊臣控股有限公司」，明日生效。不過今次過渡安排引起風波，現職清潔工在一星期前才獲莊臣安排簡介會，莊臣開出的合約日更月薪為$13,899，加幅僅較原先多出$0.32，部分工人工資更有下跌。清潔服務業職工會主席黃迺元今早前往莊臣辦公室總部，遞交105名工人聯署信，要求改善員工薪酬待遇。
交接過程倉促 惟信是良心企業
現時，莊臣仍未與全體約200名工友簽署新合約。清潔服務業職工會今早將105名浸大工友的聯署，遞交予莊臣公司辦公室總部，促請盡快進行交接安排。

有啟福居居民聯署向傳媒申訴問題後 遭終止租約
Kai Tak’s Kai Fook Court, which residents began moving into in August last year, saw about 180 residents sign a joint petition last month opposing the need to pay additional rates, with the charge for a two-person unit rising from about $142 to $160, and complaining about various management and facilities issues. After media reports last month, the management body Choi Sik Fook responded on social media, saying the estate’s mosquito and rodent problems were suspected to have resulted from tenants deliberately placing cockroaches there to cause trouble. This week, another media outlet “reported” that one of the tenants who initiated the petition was a “strange person”. Ms Chan, the tenant concerned, confirmed to InMedia that her lease had been terminated.
The Oriental Daily published a report on May 23 about tenants’ complaints at Kai Fook Court. Choi Sik Fook subsequently responded on social media, describing residents’ claim that the estate had no professional management as “fabricated”, and saying residents had known before moving in that, in addition to rent, they would have to pay rates, management fees, water and electricity charges, and telephone and internet fees.
去年8月起入伙的啟德「啟福居」，上月有約180名居民聯署，反對需額外繳納差餉（2人單位由約142元至160元），並申訴不同管理及設施問題。有傳媒上月報導後，管理機構齊惜福在社交媒體回應，稱屋苑內的蚊蟲鼠患問題是疑有租戶刻意放置曱甴搗亂。至今周，有另一傳媒「報導」發起聯署的租戶之一為「怪客」。該租戶陳小姐向《獨媒》證實，已被終止租約。
《東方日報》是於5月23日刊出啟福局租戶投訴的報導，及後齊惜福在社交媒體回應，形容居民稱屋苑無專業管理是「無中生有」，居民入住前已知悉除租金外，需額外繳交差餉、管理費、水電費、電話及上網費。

英國外國影響力登記計劃「放生」中國 劉珈汶發起國會聯署反抗：中共統戰部滲透工作要監察
The UK Government announced that the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme (FIRS) would come into force on 1 July, placing only Iran and Russia in the highest-risk “Enhanced Level” while letting China off. Home Office Minister Dan Jarvis said in response that he would not speculate on which countries would or would not be placed in the “enhanced controls” tier in future. Lau Ka-man, a senior international advocacy officer at the Hong Kong Democracy Council (HKDC), recently launched a parliamentary petition urging the UK Government to include China and Hong Kong in FIRS’s Enhanced Level, saying this would help protect the UK’s democracy. In an interview with The Chaser on Monday (14th), she said the parliamentary petition campaign was originally intended to be launched earlier this year alongside a joint letter signed by 40 organisations, but its launch had been delayed by three months until now.
英國政府宣佈7月1日開始執行「外國影響力登記計劃」（Foreign Influence Registration Scheme, FIRS），只把伊朗、俄羅斯納入最高風險的「加強級別」（Enhanced Level），但卻「放生」中國。英國內政部部長翟偉紳（Dan Jarvis）回應指不會臆測有哪些國家未來將會、或者不會被列入「加強管控」等級。香港民主委員會（HKDC）高級國際倡議幹事劉珈汶近日發起國會聯署，敦促英政府將中國和香港納入FIRS的增強級別，相信有助保護英國的民主。她周一（14日）接受《追新聞》訪問時表示，國會聯署行動本應於今年初連同40個組織聯署信一併推動，但國會聯署行動拖延了3個月至今才推出。

加拿大大選｜自由黨親中議員蔣振宇籲帶鄭敬基到中領館領賞 13公民團體聯署促DQ 卡尼力撐已道歉毋須退選
Canada’s federal election will be held on April 28. Paul Chiang, the Liberal candidate seeking re-election in the Markham—Unionville riding, publicly said in January that a HK$1 million reward could be claimed by taking Conservative candidate Joseph Tay King Kei to the Chinese Consulate-General in Toronto. Chiang did not deny the remarks on the social media platform X last Friday (28th), and apologised directly: “The remarks I made are reprehensible. I completely underestimated the seriousness of the incident, demonstrating that my judgment at the time was seriously flawed. I sincerely apologise and deeply regret my remarks.” On Sunday (30th), 13 civic groups representing Canadians of Hong Kong descent issued a joint statement strongly condemning Chiang’s gaffe, saying they did not accept his hypocritical apology and urging Canadian Prime Minister and Liberal leader Mark Carney to immediately revoke his nomination. Carney responded the same day that Chiang had apologised, and made clear that he would stand alongside Chiang and Hong Kong people to defend their human rights and freedoms; there was no need for Chiang to withdraw from the federal election.
加拿大聯邦大選將於4月28日舉行，尋求連任的萬錦於人村選區（Markham—Unionville）的自由黨候選人蔣振宇（Paul Chiang）今年1月公開表明，只要將保守黨候選人鄭敬基帶到中國駐多倫多總領館就能取得100萬港元懸賞。蔣隨後在上周五（28日）於社交平台X並沒否認該番言論，並直接作出道歉：「我所發表的言論令人譴責，完全低估了事件的嚴重性，顯示我當時判斷力嚴重失誤，我誠懇道歉，並對自己的言論深感遺憾。」代表香港裔加拿大人的13個公民團體周日（30日）發表聯合聲明強烈譴責蔣的失言，強調不接受其虛偽道歉，並敦促加拿大總理、自由黨領袖卡尼（Mark Carney）立即撤銷其候選人提名。不過，卡尼同日發表回應，指蔣已經道歉，並明確表示將對方與香港人並肩站在一起捍衞他們的人權和自由，沒需要退出聯邦大選。

The University of Hong Kong told Yahoo News that its School of Modern Languages and Cultures had cancelled the event because of “unforeseen circumstances”.
It is understood that, at the scheduled time of the event, six men and women who were dissatisfied with the arrangement argued with security guards. The six people were not HKU students. Some were suspected of being unhappy that the university had suddenly cancelled the public lecture, refusing to leave and arguing with security guards. Police arrived to look into the matter and initially considered that there was no criminal element. After recording the six people’s details, they left the HKU campus on their own.

聖保羅書院聯署一日結束 舊生稱與校方交涉後「放棄追落去」 否認被施壓
A Form Five male student at St. Paul’s College died earlier while taking part in a Citizenship and Social Development exchange tour in Hangzhou. The authorities have not disclosed details of the case. Alumni and students launched an online petition calling on the college to provide a public and transparent account of the investigation’s findings. However, one day later, the petition organiser said the school appeared unable to provide any information because of “privacy and the family’s wishes”, and that he would no longer make any demands of the school and would leave matters to fate. The alumnus who initiated the petition told InMediaHK that he had “given up pursuing it”. He said the school had been friendly and had not exerted pressure during their contact, “which is why the statement specifically included encouragement for the teachers”.

The four cleaners accused of allegedly “removing and putting up street posters themselves” have seen further developments in the case. The outsourced cleaning company Baguio replied to the Cleaning Services Industry Workers Union today (the 5th), saying its investigation found no motive or intention among the employees to deliberately fabricate anything. However, they had violated proper work procedures when clearing street posters.
