《自殺通告》申上映逾百日未獲批 導演周冠威求助霍啟剛冇回音 記者追問下稱「會了解」
Film director Chow Kwun-wai, who directed *Beyond the Dream*, has waited more than 100 days for approval from the Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration to screen his new film, *Suicide Notice*. Chow earlier wrote to two Legislative Council candidates from the Sports, Performing Arts, Culture and Publication functional constituency to seek their help. Law Kwong-ping, director of the Hong Kong Literature Museum, replied that her campaign schedule was currently tight, but that she would look into and follow up on the situation described by Chow. Incumbent lawmaker Kenneth Fok did not respond. After an election forum this morning, InMedia asked Fok about the situation. He said: “I won’t answer for now. I will also look into the situation with the relevant parties.”

霍啟剛批評康文署採購中文圖書靠「價低者得」 破壞出版生態製造「內卷」
The Government Logistics Department’s procurement of counterfeit bottled drinking water has prompted questions over whether there are loopholes in the tendering system. One of the main criticisms is that the government no longer uses a dual-track scoring system, and that the Director of Government Logistics can decide not to use a scoring system when handling tenders. During an oral question in the Legislative Council, Ho Kai-ming, representing the sports, performing arts, culture and publishing sectors, said the Leisure and Cultural Services Department’s public libraries had removed the previous scoring system for procuring Chinese-language books and replaced it with price as the sole criterion—in other words, “the lowest bidder wins”. Ho criticised the practice for damaging the healthy ecosystem of the publishing industry and causing “involution” in the local market. Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui denied that it was a case of “the lowest bidder wins”, saying that quality would not be sacrificed even without a scoring system. He said, “I don’t see this situation,” adding that the previous scoring criteria had become “basic technical requirements”: “No matter how low the price is, if the technical requirements are not met, I will not award the tender to them.”
政府物流署採購冒牌樽裝飲用水，公眾質疑招標制度是否存在漏洞，其中最令人詬病的是政府不再採用雙軌評分制，可以由物流署署長決定不採用評分制處理投標。在立法會口頭質詢，代表體育、演藝、文化及出版界的霍啟剛表示，康文署轄下公共圖書館採購中文書項目，剔除了以往評分制，改以價格水平為唯一標準，亦即「價低者得」。霍啟剛批評做法破壞出版業界的健康生態，亦令本地市場「內卷」。財庫局局長許正宇否認「價低者得」，稱即使不用計分制，也不會犧牲質量，「睇唔到呢個情況」，以往評分變成「基本技術要求」，他稱「無論價錢幾平，滿足唔到技術要求，我都唔會畀佢中標嘅」。

霍啟剛批杜琪峯「無靈魂論」非常自私 將個人創作低潮歸咎香港政治氣候
Hong Kong director Johnnie To said in a recent interview with BBC Chinese that he had produced fewer works in recent years because he was at the lowest point of his life. He said he and Hong Kong had “lost their souls”, prompting responses from various sectors. Kenneth Fok, a Legislative Council member representing the sports, performing arts, culture and publishing sectors, also posted a response that evening without naming To. Fok said the remarks blamed Hong Kong’s current political climate for the speaker’s personal “creative low” and described the claim that “I and Hong Kong have both lost our souls” as extremely selfish. He also said that people with a certain standing should be even more careful with their words.
香港導演杜琪峯在近日《BBC中文網》的專訪中，指近年減產是因為正處於人生最低潮，認為自己與香港「無咗靈魂」，言論引起各界回應。體育、演藝、文化及出版界立法會議員霍啟剛晚上亦發文不點名回應，指言論將個人「處於創作低潮」歸咎於香港當前政治氣候，並聲言自己「和香港都失去靈魂」是非常自私，又認為對方具有一定地位就更需要謹言慎行。

霍啟剛倡聯合大灣區城市 齊搶體育盛事
The Government is promoting the mega-event economy to attract tourists, but the recovery of the tourism industry has fallen short of expectations. Legislative Council members Yiu Pak-leung of the tourism sector, Kenneth Fok of the sports, performing arts, culture and publication sector, and Vincent Cheng of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong held a press conference today, proposing that sporting elements be incorporated into tourism products to develop sports tourism. Fok said the Greater Bay Area's population is comparable to that of Europe and other regions, while Guangdong Province has 78 million square metres of sports venues. He believed that Hong Kong could connect with the Greater Bay Area and proactively compete together for major sporting events, thereby promoting Hong Kong's tourism industry.
政府力推盛事經濟吸引遊客，但旅遊業復甦情況就未如預期。立法會旅遊界姚柏良、體演文出界霍啟剛及民建聯鄭泳舜今日舉行記者會，提議把運動元素融入旅遊產品，發展運動旅遊產業。霍啟剛指，大灣區的人口與歐洲等地睇齊，而廣東省有7,800萬平方米體育場地，認為香港與大灣區銜接，一起主動出擊搶體育盛事，可帶動香港的旅遊產業。

霍啟剛：美斯日本上場真的十分難受 批在香港球迷傷口撒鹽
Inter Miami previously came to Hong Kong for an exhibition match, but Argentina star Messi did not play because of injury, sparking controversy. The team played another match against Vissel Kobe in Japan tonight, with Messi coming on as a substitute. Kenneth Fok, a Legislative Council member representing the sports, culture, performing arts and publishing sectors, said seeing Messi play in Japan while recalling the disappointment of Hong Kong fans, as well as the player looking sullen throughout and avoiding a group photograph, was “really distressing”. He said Inter Miami was rubbing salt into the wounds of Hong Kong fans, and called on the team, its owner David Beckham, Messi and organiser Tatler Asia to give the public an explanation.
