Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

今晚就是平安夜了。在此，謹與各位說聲：Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

我雖然從教會學校畢業，卻並不是教徒；但我很喜歡 唐 君毅先生這樣一句話：我雖然沒有宗教信仰，但我有宗教情懷。

我相信，「事事感恩」就是這樣一種宗教情懷。

在此，感謝我每一位家人、朋友、同事、同學、網友，以及所有黃竹坑區的居民：感謝你們對我的關心、鼓勵和支持。

再祝大家在2008年身體健康，事事順遂！

PS: 我明天起會放假一星期，明年與各位「再續網緣」。

The Christmas and New Year are coming; I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I'm not a Christian, nor a catholic, but I share the belief that we should always be grateful to people around us and things happened. 

I thank you all for your love, encouragement and support! And I wish you a fruitful year 2008.

我在《城市論壇》的發言 My Views in the "City Forum"

我出席了今天的城市論壇(見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=1654&new=1)，並代表黃竹坑居民提出了以下三點意見：

1. 政府及港鐵應在黃竹坑提供文娛、社區設施。

2. 希望港鐵的黃竹坑站為居民提供更方便的出入口。

3. 希望港鐵使黃竹坑站同時方便香港仔居民使用地鐵。

可惜可能發言的出席者太多，港鐵代表沒有回應上述意見。

日後我會繼續向政府及港鐵反映我們黃竹坑區以及南區市民的訴求。

大家可到港台網站重溫這集的節目，以及我的發言(見：http://www.rthk.org.hk/rthk/tv/city_forum/)

由左至由為：馮煒光、謝志峰(主持)、羅健熙、我

I attended the "City Forum" today (http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=1654&new=1) and I expressed the following views in the forum:

1. The Gov't and the MTR should provide community centre and other facilities. 

2.  The MTR should build WCH station exit which convenient to local residents

3.  The MTR should try their best to make the WCH station convenient to people living in Aberdeen .

But the representative of the MTR didn't responded to my views, maybe because many views were expressed. I'll keep working hard to follow this case.

《城市論壇》於鴨脷洲討論南鐵 "City Forum"(RTHK) Held in Ap Lei Chau

The RTHK programme "City Forum" will be held in Ap Lei Chau on the coming Sunday. The topic of this forum will be focus on the project of South Island Line and the development of Southern District as a whole.

Details are as followed, I invite you to join with me to attend this forum to show our concerns.

PS:  The fourm will be conducted in Chinese only.

本星期日的《城市論壇》將於鴨脷洲南區舉行，題目自然是討論南區地鐵的進展。我一會出席，歡迎大家參加。

以下是香港電台發出的消息：

《城市論壇》詳情：
Details of "City Forum":

日期 Date：23-12-2007 (星期日 Sunday)
時間 Time：1200
地點 Place：鴨利洲海濱長廊（鴨利洲市政大廈對出）
                      Ap Lei Chau Promanade
                      (outside the Ap Lei Chau Municipal Building)
題目 Topic：港鐵支線再伸延，南區發展新一頁
                      Railway line extents,
                       a new face for Southern District
語言 Language：廣東話 Cantonese

討論大綱 (只供參考，並非限定範圍)

　(1)   一直以來，政府都是以批出沿線物業發展權的方式資助鐵路建設，由於鐵路公司已由過去屬政府全資擁有變成上市公司，今次政府預留黃竹坑邨公屋地皮，以及海洋公園站予港鐵發展物業，這個安排會否予人產生以公帑資助上市公司的印象？有測量師估計，黃竹坑邨地皮價值高達200至250億元，物業發展收益可觀，有評論認為，這是過度補貼，你是否同意？

(2)   現時南港島線雖已落實，但對是否在跑馬地馬場設立車站，則仍未有定案；對此你有何看法？

(3)   現時雖然已拍板興建，但亦要待至2011年方可動工，2015年才正式啟用，即是說還要等待7、8年，時間是否過長？如何可以加快工程進度，令居民早日受惠？有沒有評估過施工期間對居民造成的滋擾？

現時南港島線既已落實，你對南區發展有何期望？有意見指應該將南區打造成超級旅遊區，在整體規劃及其他配套上應如何配合？

地鐵終拍板 南區有望大變身 The MTR SIL Project Boosts Re-development of WCH

The MTR South Island Line was confirmed in the Exco yesterday, this project will surely help to boost the re-develop of WCH, Aberdeen and the Southern District as a whole. Pls refer to my previous blog articles at : http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1554&prev=1561&next=1524 and http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1629

Today's editorial of Tai Kong Pao shares my view.

The MTR SIL Project boosts Re-development

南區地鐵勢將引致黃竹坑、香港仔大變，請參考我早前的blog：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1554&prev=1561&next=1524 and http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1629

今天的大公報社評，我摘引如下：

南區地鐵線的興建，對南區居民和地區經濟可以說是一個「遲來的春天」．．．．．．香港仔與中西區、東區同屬市區，相距其實咫尺，但市民去一次香港仔，卻仿如去新界般遙遠。在此情況下，港島南區曾經提出過的多項發展規劃，如漁人碼頭、懷舊漁村一日遊，都因交通問題而一直沒有落實。

．．．．．．

眼前，不管是採納第幾號方案，南區地鐵第一件要做的事就是盡早上馬，而不是再沒完沒了的討論。事實是，南區多項重大發展計劃已迫近眉睫，海洋公園大規模擴建正如火如荼，光是黃竹坑一地，最少有十二幅土地正在洽商補地價改變用途，包括興建酒店、商場及水療中心等。而集吃喝玩樂於一身的漁人碼頭，還有海濱長廊、漁船出海生活體驗……在政府的什麼「十大」旅遊項目之中已經出現了不知多少次，如果再「紙上談兵」下去，相信特首和主事官員都會不好意思再宣之於口。而最重要的是，整個南區旅遊、休憩、文化區的打造，確實是一項極具吸引力的規劃，不予好好利用實在是暴殄天物，而萬事俱備，南區地鐵線就是尚欠的東風。

 

行會終通過南區地鐵 South Island Line Confirmed in Exco

I am sorry that I cannot provide an English leaflet, due to the resource reason. It is a leaflet about my follow up of the MTR South Island Line issue.

Finally, this project has been confirmed in Exco. So the next stage of my follow up will be fighting for an exit of the Wong Chuk Hang MTR station, which should be located near to Shum Wan, and it should be convenient for Ocean Court and residents in Aberdeen to use the station.

There are also many transport issues I will keep following up in the new district council, such as the frequency of Rt. 72A and 78 buses were cut by the bus company, and the rejection of mid-night mini-bus.

And I keep looking for my own office, but a lot of work has to be done. Because it's hard to find a shop which is suitable and we can afford

我們爭取多時的南區地鐵終於獲行政會議通過，接下來，就進入爭取地鐵出入口的階段了。

一如我在選舉期的宣傳，爭取便利居民出入的地鐵站出入口，現在我當選了，這自然是我任內最重要的工作。

除此之外，我一直謹記，改善區內交通，這是本區居民最主要的訴求。故我在新一界的區議會裡，將跟進以下事項：

1.新巴/城巴申請加價5.8%
2.區議會休會期間，72A、78號班次被削減
3.深灣通宵小巴4X被否決，N4C小巴能否繞入深灣

單張的另一部份，是我尋找辦事處進展緩慢，但我會繼續努力，一定會在區內開設辦事處，以更好地服務居民。

 

司馬昭之心：委任區議員 The Appointed District Councillor

There are four appointed district councillors in the Southern District Council. No surprise at all, the Gov't appointed the pro-Beijing figures into the council, in order to "balance" the increasing party-influence: though my party only has three councillors, DAB and the Liberal Party has one.

So, doesn't it clear enough to tell us why the Gov't appointed the member of DAB and the Liberal Party into this Council?

My view on the constitutional reform, pls see: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1600&prev=1622&next=1599

民主黨在新的南區區議會雖然只有三名議員，但政府還是放心不下，為"平衡勢力"，分別委任了民建聯和自由黨的成員進入議會。

政府的用意，真可謂是司馬昭之心，路人皆見。

請參考我早些日對政改報告書的看法：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1600&prev=1622&next=1599

 

反對新/城巴漠視加減機制 大幅加價5.8%

經濟好轉，不少市民因而得益，但低下階層市民生活未見明顯改善，而公用事業亦各自籌謀加價；上星期三，新巴/城巴就漠視漠視加減機制，申請大幅加價5.8%！

民主黨就此表示強烈反對，並到兩巴總部請願，表示不滿；我們亦將在新一屆區議員1月4日的首次會議上，爭取把加價問題帶入議程討論。以下是我們向各大媒體發表的新聞稿：

民主黨多位港島區現任及候任區議員認為，城巴及新巴 (後稱『兩巴』) 申請加價5.8%，是違反現行票價調整機制。在12月12日向兩間巴士公司的總部請願。
 
漠視加減機制
根據12月12日明報引述中大財務學系碩士課程主任蘇偉文指，根據該票價調整制度，兩巴只可加價約2%，遠超於正在申請的5.8%。民主黨南區黨團召集人柴文瀚先生批評︰「兩巴的申請中，竟可特別放大加減機制外如油價上升、職員加薪以及匯率變化等多個因素。若然政府批准，只會鼓勵各間巴士公司繼續破壞現行設定，票價機制最終形同虛設，浪費了過去幾年的討論及研究時間。」

服務倒退，票價反加
此外，兩位候任區議員馮煒光及徐遠華均指出，南區巴士服務倒退，票價反加，實不合理。馮煒光指出，過往收到不少關於兩巴車廂衛生欠佳、車長態度惡劣的投訴。多條來往南區及市區的路線，如4、90B、M590、592均不時出現嚴重脫班情況。「以最近為例，由於工展會假維園舉行，導至銅鑼灣一帶交通非常繁忙。巴士公司未能作出適當調配，導致多條來往南區至銅鑼灣的巴士線，動軋需要等候15-30分鐘。這樣的服務水平，還提出加價，合理嗎？」徐遠華補充。

民主黨在南區的新一屆區議員將在1月4日首次會議上，爭取把加價問題帶入議程討論。並會要求出值的運輸部門派員證明，兩巴是次加價違背可加可減機制原則。

孩子，這是你的命！The Leader Who Fears to Lead

曾蔭權畢竟是公務員出身，這次提交的政改方案，儘顯其"不敢越雷池半步"的工作心態。他要做好呢份工，而人儘皆知的事實是，他的老闆是北大人，是高高在上，聲稱「權在中央」的阿爺：香港人已無奈地接受了這樣的現實？

信報社論寫得最清楚，曾蔭權和董建華一樣，一步又一步地把高度自治斷送：

按照《基本法》附件一及附件二的規定，二○○七年後的行政長官和立法會產生辦法如需修改，須經立法會全體議員之三分之二多數通過、行政長官同意，並報請全國人大常委批准，以「正常」的理解，上述過程是順次序而行，報請全國人大常委之前，應該先通過在香港的兩關，為何現在卻反過來，先提交報告給人大常委，待它作出批示之後才由香港「跟進」，按人大常委的意旨辦事？(信報社評)

記得當年釋法，用的也是這樣的手法。

前後兩位特首自毀香港的法治和高度自治的長城，就如《紅樓夢》裏的探春說得那樣：「『百足之蟲,死而不僵』,必須先從家裏自殺自滅起來,才能一敗塗地!」

香港缺乏政治人才，曾蔭權和董建華就是典型的例子。

印象中，食指有一首詩這樣寫：

人生一世

草長一秋

奶奶說

孩子，這是你的命

如果你說，必須接受這樣的現實：中央大石壓死蟹，香港的命就是不應/無法享有基本法賦予的高度自治。

那麼，我會挑戰這樣的命運！

You can hardly expect Donald Tsang to be a leader, a statesman, because the bureaucratic style of seeking and obeying order is deeply rooted in his mind.

The chief executive's report to Beijing on the way Hong Kong people view democratic reform again vividly shows this character.

Donald Tsang is the most powerful leader in this city who should lead and make the toughest decision, but he just has no guts to lead. He simply leave the tough decision to Beijing, to please his real boss, and then he will surely “get the job done” by his .bureaucratic style of highly effective implementation skills.

And I fear he will sacrifice the high degree of autonomy by his work style too.

If it is the fate of Hong Kong, I DO NOT accept it, and I will challenge it!

 

環保觸覺：促減惠福道地皮地積比率 Wall Effect Concerned

據明報報導(全文見：http://www.mingpaonews.com/20071212/gsk2.htm)，環保團體環保觸覺向城市規劃委員會申請，把黃竹坑惠福道地皮地皮地積比由現時的10倍減至7倍，並於樓宇間設15米距離及興建通風廊，以免形成屏風效應。

但多個政府部門認為申請並無科學根據，亦有違地契規定，建議反對該申請。

規劃署指出，申請會令地皮與附近甲級住宅用地的地積比不符，而且地皮附近低密度發展的政府、機構及社區用地和休憩用地，可維持該區通風，加上申請者的「屏風理據」並無科學根據，無法證明減低地積比能有效完善整區的通風，遂不支持申請。

可參看我早前的blog: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1554;

也可參考規劃地政局局長孫明揚今年六月就相關問題在立法會上的答覆：http://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/200706/13/P200706130205.htm

The Planning Department rejected the application submitted by the Green Sense, which proposed to prevent the wall effect at Welfare Road in Wong Chuk Hang area. According to the Ming Pao Daily, the Planning Dep't does not consider the wall effect theory is not scientific, thus not convincing. (see the Chinese report：http://www.mingpaonews.com/20071212/gsk2.htm)，

書聲出骨氣 國是寄心魂 Years in China Study Society, CUHK

My friend Shek wrote some lines on the years we spent in the China Study Society when we studied at CUHK. I was so lucky that I was once the Chairman of this society, and I knew many friends there.

Sorry that I don't have time to translate them into English this time.

朋友碩在中大碩士畢業寫了兩段當年我在中大國是學會時的歲月，徵得他同意後，轉載如下(碩曾遠道而來義務為我助選，並寫有助選感言，見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1466)：

國是，關心中國正確的路向，西漢‧劉向《戰國策》：「寡人未得所以為國是也。」。翻開新一屆的敢言冊，朝氣勃勃的大學生留下動人的筆跡。讀到子衿訓勉師弟，十分溫馨：「你們是地上的波紋，現在惟有你們，能替國是遮風擋雨」。蒹葭留下龔自珍「一簫一劍平生意，負盡狂名十五年」，疏狂的俠氣與敢作敢為的大學生最匹配。我以龔定庵「落紅不是無情物，化作春泥更護花」相和，滿腔熱血的學子到底沒有普渡眾生，倒為少年歲月添上動人一筆。

發現我在大學時編的刊物，竟放在貼上「陳年刊物及照片」標簽的書櫃。竹簾猶在，上書「書聲出骨氣，國是寄心魂」一聯。承蒙學友錯愛，竟將拙聯刻上竹枝，掛在會室的琉璃窗，意趣盎然。舊事翻進腦海，那一夜，書室燈火通明，蒹葭、子衿在會室外的空地踢毯子，華（案：這是我啊）與您在室中對奕圍棋，唱機播放著莫札特的古典音樂，我與秀珍在爭辯尼采、張愛玲和李商隱。其它同學從女工買來宵夜，一邊吃一邊隨意翻弄《中大學生報》和西哲經典。

雜誌報導：U Magazine 07年12月7日 I was on the U-Magazine! 7 Dec. 07

I was on the U-Magazine! One of the theme in  this issue is the new generation of politician. It's my first time to be interviewed by a magazine.

Young, well-educated and serve community on a full time basis, these are the main factors that the U-magazine interprets as a new trend of political development in HK.

To be sure, we still have a very long way to go. But a decade or more years later, I believe people could make a prudent judgment that whether we, as new faces in politics, have started a new generation from now on.

千萬不要以為我替阿姐賣廣告啊．．．．

我和兩位同事(柴文瀚和羅建熙，詳見南區團隊：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1430)前個星期接受了U Magazine 的訪問，上星期五終於出版了！(這是我第一次接受雜誌採訪)

第一張照片僅是封面，阿姐畢竟是阿姐，封面也是她；上面有小標題：政壇新世代。這才是我們一眾區議會新人的採訪。

年青、全職、高學歷，雜誌認為議會年青化、專業化是大勢所趨。

(從右至左分別為：柴文瀚、羅建熙和我)

探訪當天，剛好是我們華富辦事處的長者量血壓日，所以才拍下了下面的照片。當年我初入行，也是從為長者們量血壓開始的呢。

近兩年來，雖然我一星期只有兩天在華富辦工，但我和一些華富長者仍諗熟，他們仍然還記得我這個小伙子，仍會叫我"徐生"，或者更親切地叫"華哥仔"呢。

這份雜誌還報導了滙賢智庫的陳岳鵬、黃楚峰，兩人均是葉劉淑儀的愛將；民建聯的陳百里、姚國威；民主黨的周穆標、趙家賢；公民黨的鄭梓橋和伍展邦。

我們是否真的"標示著政壇新時代的開始"，就要看今後十年乃至二十年的政壇才能論定了。

灣仔睇Notebook / 買書 Looking for a Notebook/ Books in Wan Chai

因打算買notebook，前兩天和同事去了灣仔電腦城格價、看款式。我一向不打電腦遊戲，只用電腦上網和處理文書，間中看看電影而已，故要求並不高。當天跟同事戲言，指：就如在香港買車，實在沒必要買法拉利。

我並不熟悉電腦行情，故事前先問了朋友意見，得知有幾隻牌子"必不可買"，粗看後，暫時對下面HP 520 和 Fujitsu LifeBook A3130 兩款機頗有興趣(尤其是後者)：

I went to Wan Chai to look for a notebook a few days ago. I don't require a latest model, as I told my colleague: it's like buying a car, we really don't need a Farrari in HK.

I'm interested in the following two models, esp. the last one:

1. HP 520  (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/tw/zh/sm/WF06b/1090709-1124051-1124051-1124051-12434656-80330282-80330286.html)

  其中一間店開價 $5,800，另一間則指可低至$5,200!

   The price is between $5,200 to $5,800.

2.Fujitsu LifeBook A3130   (http://store.shopfujitsu.com/fpc/Ecommerce/buildseriesbean.do?series=A3130)

   只有一間店有這個牌子，不二價$6,998. 可免費將RAM upgrate 到 1G.

   The price for this one is $6,998, and the RAM can be upgrated to 1G for free.

3. 可惜當晚找不到Sony的機。

  買機尚未成功，還需努力尋找．．．． 

   I'm still looking for a Sony Model....

 

睇完notebook，因灣仔三聯書店就在旁邊，我當然沒理由不去看。剛好碰上大減價，我買入下面四本書：

I bought four books after I'd checked the notebook, there is a book sale:

1. 中央與地方關係，這是我一直關心的課題：中央和香港的關係。當年我讀政政系(GPA)時，修讀王紹光教授的一門中央與地方關係的課，獲益良多！我記得當年寫的論文個案是印度，可惜論文沒存底。

我對以色列沒什麼認識，這本書只５元！

I'm interested in the interl-governmental relations. $5 only!

2. 這本黑格爾哲學的英文入門書，厚達300多頁，只卻只賣30元；我一直想多了解一點黑格爾的政治哲學，希望這本書能領引我入門。

And, I'm inerested in political philosphy too. Hope this intorductory book worth reading. $30only.

3. 因受董橋影響，近年我好讀筆記。以下是雅堂先生連橫的筆記，定有助我了解台灣歷史人文。書只5元！

This is an collection of essaies by Lian Heng, a historian in Taiwan, and the grand-father of Lian Zhan, the former chairman of KMT. Again, $5 only.

4.這本書稍僻，10元，我買下來準備送給一位朋友：他的碩士論文題目寫民國軍閥和土匪的關係，希望這本書對他有參考作用。

The topic of this book is rather rare, it's about the relation of bandit and civilian in 12th-18th Centry South-east China. I bought it for a good friend. I hope this book could be useful for him to edit his M.Phil. thesis. $10 only.

春江水暖鴨先知：香港仔(黃竹坑)勢將巨變 The Re-development of Wong Chuk Hang

12月4日蘋果日報的"曾淵滄專欄：細撼大中小地產商靠聯盟"事涉本區發展，現摘引如下：
  
曾先生分析各地產商合縱連橫，紛紛以聯盟方式競投珍貴的地皮，以備日後發展。如早前信和、嘉華與南豐除了在大埔合作買地外，也在香港仔合作買地。曾先生接著分析：

"香港仔將現巨變

不過，如果我們深入了解香港仔這個地區的發展計劃，我們也許會知道，將來的香港仔會出現巨變。根據政府的規劃，香港仔黃竹坑的公屋將會拆卸，土地賣給私人發展商，香港仔的舊工廠也會拆掉，改建辦公樓，數年後的香港仔可能變成一個高尚的度假勝地，有漁人碼頭、有遊艇會、有度假屋、酒店、豪宅……"

雖然有不少分析員認為香港仔這幅土地是買貴了(我早前的相關blog，見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1026)，但嘉華國際主席呂志和"爆內幕"，指並沒有買貴，作為地產商，春江水暖鴨先知，他比曾先生更看著香港仔、黃竹坑的重新發展，他在11月26日的"投資理財周刊"裡直言：

"政府新規劃 香港仔變天

　　他解釋：「當日競投惠福道地皮，個個（發展商）都好想要，每一間（公司）都搶，點解呀？因為塊地向南又向海，將來有地鐵直通港島南區，加上政府決定對香港仔區作重新規劃，未來海洋公園一帶，政府計劃將之變成新旅遊區，而舊有輕工業及公屋區，將變成住宅商場，總之成個香港仔變天。」

　　其實早於01年時候，已有政府中人提出在香港仔大搞旅遊，興建特色漁人碼頭。而各大發展商當日競投香港仔惠福道地皮時「打崩頭」，主要聚焦兩大重頭戲，一是多年來只聞樓梯響的地鐵南港島終於拍板，其中南港島東段，擬由金鐘經海洋公園再伸延至鴨洲。二是政府計劃收回房委會旗下市值超過400億元的黃竹坑公屋地皮發展興建鐵路上蓋物業，香港仔將出現全新面貌。

　　此外，惠福道地皮之可發展地積比率「彈性高」，一名資深地產業人士對本刊透露：「該地皮之地積比率可以用到盡的空間很大。」正因為此，惹來環保團體向城規會申請降低惠福道地皮發展密度。呂志和帶點無奈說：「有好多社會自由聲音，我們聽不得太多，總之會跟隨政府政策及方針去做。」 "

黃竹坑區可謂百業待興，正如我在競選報上所指(見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1237　競選報第7、第8頁)：長遠而言(約10年以後)，本區很可能取代香港仔中心，將成為新的南區中心地帶。

我日後的工作將很多，很繁重：我會努力以赴。

The Re-development of Wong Chuk Hang

There are several factors that will help to develop Wong Chuk Hang district, hopefully, become a new centre of Southern District, the main factors are:

a. the South Island Line of MTR (SIL) is going to be completed in 2014(Ref.: http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/projects/future_wil_sil_sil_east.html);

b. the re-development of WCH Estate, the Estate may be developed as private residential building by the MTR corporate;

c. the industrial area in WCH will had rezoned as hotel and commercial area, there will be over 13 hotels in WCH;

d. the re-development of the Ocean Park .

These are the factors that the land developers invest big money to buy the land in Welfare road, they certainly know there are huge opportunities in WCH and Aberdeen as whole.

As the district councilor of WCH constituency for the next four years, I’m responsible for the re-development in our community. And I’ll work hard to make our home a better place for us and the next generation.

 

黃竹坑區選及立法會補選得票比較 Results of the Two Elections in WCH

我們黃竹坑兩個票站的立法會補選得票數字如下：

The counting result of the two polling stations in Wong Chuk Hang as follow:

投票站編號 Polling Station Code	投票站名稱	Name of Polling Station	名單候選人 所得票數 Number of votes received
			4	7
D1501	香港仔網球及壁球中心	Aberdeen Tennis and Squash Centre	533	844
D1502	東華三院賽馬會復康中心E座	Block E, TWGHs Jockey Club Rehabilitation Complex	1,162	1,892

參考我在11月18日的選舉，整體而言，黃竹坑在區選的投票總數為3,651票，而在立會補選的投票總數則為4,431票，比前者多780票。

具體來講，民主派在區選的得票為2,073票，佔57%，左派加自由黨(泛建制派)的得票為1,578票；在立會補選民主派則得到2,736票，比區選多663票，佔62%。左派在立會補選則得到1,695票，比區選多117票。泛民和左派六四得票的分布並未改變。

可見多出來的選票中，民主派取得大部份得票(85%)。投票率越高，對民主派越有利，起碼在黃竹坑，這是正確的評估。

而這些多出來的支持票，在區議會時並沒有出來投票，這從側面反映我的支持度還不夠，所做的競選工程也不細緻：如果我做得再好些，這些民主派的支持者完全可以出來投我一票。

我必須更加努力才行。

D15	黃竹坑	1	許雲薇	301
		2	徐遠華	2,073*
		3	黃才立	1,277

Comparing the results of WCH district council election on 18 Nov, the total votes received are 3,651; and the total votes received in the LegCo by-election is 4,431, 780  votes more than the former.

Specifically, the pan-democratic camp got 2,073 votes (57%)in the district council election, the pro-Beijing camp got 1,578 votes(43%).

Anson Chan, as a representative of the pan-democratic camp in The By-election, got 2,736 votes(62%), 663 votes more than I got in 18 Nov.

Regina Ip, as a representative of the pro-Beijing camp, got 1,695 votes(38%), 117 more than the votes received the Camp received on 18 Nov.

Once again, the finding proves it is correct, at least in WCH constituency, that the higher voting rate favors democrat.(Anson Chan got 85% in 663 votes.)

It is also an indication that my community work and election campaign was not good enough to get these potential supports out to vote for me on 18 Nov.

I really need to work hard to gain these support.

兩岸猿聲啼不住，輕舟已過萬重山。 We Are the Champion!

昨天為陳太助選，我負責黃竹坑區。從早上6點30分set場到晚上近12點才收拾好各分區物資。中間除了約一小時的午飯及晚飯時間，在街上站了超過十六個小時，比我自己的選舉還要長，小腿幾乎抽筋！

因為11月18日當天我還可以稍事休息，間中坐車到逸港居看另外的票站情況，而且10點30分後就可在票站安坐，監察點票。

但，兩岸猿聲啼不住，輕舟已過萬重山，我們嬴了！

多謝大家的支持，以及昨天遠道從九龍及新界過來的多位義工朋友。

Notes: pls see http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/our_wch/article?mid=1524&new=1

I was a volunteer to help Anson Chan to run for The By-election yesterday, and I was in charge of all the works in Wong Chuk Hang district. Though lacking of resources, our spirit was high enough to gain support for Anson. I'd been working for over 16 hours, longer than my own election on 18 Nov.! I stood at the corner of Welfare Road to call for support for Anson, my legs were almost seized with cramps.

But all the hard work is worth: Anson Chan won The By-election! We are the champion!

Thanks for your support! And thanks all the volunteers who came to help, especially for those who live in Kowloon and the New Territories.

蔡子強﹕政客廢話寶鑑 Political Cliche

因為前天獲蔡子強先生邀請，回去了中大母系(見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1481)，回來後翻看了蔡生的一些文章。找到了這篇，轉載部份在這裡，輕鬆之餘，我也引以為戒。

我參與了選舉，現在是候任區議員，已可被歸入"政客"一類，雖然每次看到兩個字眼，都有頗不舒服的感覺，但我認為嚴格審視、批評從政者、官員乃至所有參與公共利益有關的人士，這符合公眾利益；畢竟，香港的自由和廉潔有賴於公眾輿論的嚴密及嚴厲的監督。　

而我還記得我讀中學時，陳方安生就引用了一句好像是甘迺迪(林肯?)的名言：每天清早，打開報紙就讀到批評自己的文章，這是在高位者的特權。

我們需要維護擁有這樣的批評意見的傳媒和社會，在高位者享有這樣的特權，我看，也算是自由社會的一項特徵吧。

我雖遠非在高位者，但同樣服膺上面的道理：如果你認為我做得不好，請直接批評。

蔡生部分文章內容如下，全文詳見下面網址，也可以參考BBC電台的http://news.bbc.co.uk/chinese/trad/hi/newsid_4480000/newsid_4482600/4482615.stm：

“Expert”——那些knows more and more about less and less的人。還有，當官員說「我們要先聽聽專家的意見」，又或者「more research needs to be done」，就是當政府感到一籌莫展，唔知點應付的時候，搬出來令人覺得政府做緊的擋箭牌。

“This is a hypothetical question”——即係話我唔想答，因為這是答會對我不利的問題。

“I am glad you asked me that”——傻仔，呢條問題其實我一早預，答案亦早已準備好，而家正好畀個機會我借題發揮。（順帶一提，如果你問唔問題，他就會說：「Yes, but the important thing to understand is....然後照把上述準備好的，照講一次。」）

“I hear what you are saying, but....”——除了「but」以後的說話之外，前面幾隻字全屬廢話。

 

Mr Choy Chi Keong of GPA Dept' of CUHK (http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1481)wrote a article on political cliche. You also see a related article on BBC at  http://news.bbc.co.uk/chinese/trad/hi/newsid_4480000/newsid_4482600/4482615.stm

Though being a district councillor-elect and a so-called politician now, I still feel uncomfortable to be named as a politician. It's quite a harsh word to me. But I do agree that anyone who take part in politics and those whose work concerns public interest, they should face harsh criticism. The public opinion should be an important role to monitor these people, including me now, and take a harsh approach to us, in order to make the society free, open and clean.

I still remember a saying from Anson Chan; she borrowed it from Kennedy ( Lincoln ?): It's a privilege of a person in high office to read reports and criticism in the morning post.

I'm not in the high office, but I totally agree that such privilege should be maintained, becuase it's one of the special characteristic of a free and open society.

So, if you find anything wrong in my work and conduct, please point them out directly. I welcome criticism, no matter in a gentle or harsh way. 

 

拒絕葉劉 - 投７號陳方安生 Vote for Anson Chan, Say NO to Regina Ip

本來想在今天再寫一篇blog(再前的那篇，詳見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1464&prev=1466&next=1443)，呼籲市民投票給陳方陳方安生，但同事羅健熙已快我一步。我也樂得可以偷懶一下，希望大家到他的blog裡看看(http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/dp_lokinhei/article?mid=609)，支持陳太，向葉劉淑儀say NO.

I planned to wrtie another blog article on the LegCo by-election, and ask people to support Anson Chan again.(My last related article, pls see:http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1464&prev=1466&next=1443).

But I found my colleague Lo Kin Hei wrote it already, so I just need to ask you go browse his blog at http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/dp_lokinhei/article?mid=609 to support Anson Chan, and say NO to Regina Ip.

重回中大母校 分享從政經驗 Sharing at GPA Dept, CUHK

今晚我有幸獲中大政治及公共行政高級導師蔡子強的邀請，回了中大與自己的師弟師妹分享做議員助理和從政的經驗(年中時我也曾回中大政政系，參加一個GPA課程focus group 的討論，見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=140)

一眾師弟師妹都對我的工作、選舉乃至民主黨都頗感興趣，提問了好些問題，我自然樂意分享：雖說是"政治及公共行政系"，但我那一屆的畢業生裡,只有我一個人從政。不知道幾年以後，這些學弟學妹們之中，會否有幾個也和我一樣，走這條路？

離開中大時，和蔡生談起閱讀，我說回中大途中，重讀了韋伯的"以政治為志業"(Politics as Vocation)，平時則仍愛讀甘陽、劉小楓、Leo Strauss、Carl Schmitt(http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1443)等人的作品，而這也是我打算進修讀政治哲學或歷史學的原因。蔡生聽後頗驚訝，說現在讀韋伯的議員助理和議員很罕有。但他建議我讀法律學位，認為更有助我的從政事業。我很贊同他的看法。

一位師妹說：我又重回大學畢業時的價值判斷了。

的確如此。興趣還是事業，這又是一個to be or not to be 的問題，我要在一月前決定報讀哪個課程。

歡迎各位給我意見和建議。

 

Thanks to Mr Choy Chi Keong, I went back to CUHK to share my experience with students studying at GPA Dep't, which I'd been studying for 3 years.  Actaully I went back to CUHK to take part in a focus group to review the course structure of the dep't in June 2007. Pls see: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=140 

Students were interested in my work as a assistant to councillors, a member of DPHK, and of course, a district councillor-elect too. I were glad to share experience with them, I'm the only one in 2004 GPA graduates, who take part in politics; I wonder are there one or two among these students will work in the same field like mine.

We talked about reading while Mr Choy and I leaving CUHK. He was quite surprised when I told him that I re-read Max Weber's "Politics as Vocation" while I was taking bus back to CUHK. Actually I read works by Gan Yan, Liu Xiaofeng, Leo Strauss, Carl Schmitt and Weber a lot, because political philosophy is what I’m interested in, and this is why I'm considering furthering my education in this field. And, I'm interested in intellectual history in ancient China as well. 

But I agree with Mr Choy: a law degree may be more helpful to my career (vocation).

One of student reminded me that I am again back to a situation of value judgment.

I'll be glad to have your advice on my further education.

報章報導：影子區議員? 07年11月23日 (The Shadow District Councillor?)

上星期五的Take Me Home 又報導了我們民主黨南區團隊(詳見：http://www.takemehome.com.hk/view_epaper.php?p=filedata/epaper/papers/0F/20071123/HKET_20071123_0F_003-01.jpg&f_date=2007-11-23&f_area=0F&f_pageno=003)，以我們幾乎全取五席(可惜最後華貴以及利東二兩區以不足百票而飲恨落敗，詳見：http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1435&fid=-1&action=next)，分析指"南區政味漸濃"，詳情可瀏覽該報報導。

同時，該報指我對手已部署下屆的選舉，大家如有興趣，可見：http://www.takemehome.com.hk/view_epaper.php?p=filedata/epaper/papers/0F/20071123/HKET_20071123_0F_004-01.jpg&f_date=2007-11-23&f_area=0F&f_pageno=004

以對手政黨充裕的資源來看，報導很可能完全屬實，未來四年我將有一位影子挑戰者。有競爭才有進步，我絕不會掉以輕心的；而且，這對居民而言，絕對是個上佳的消息：我們會競相爭取表現，為大家服務。

The free local newspaper Take-Me-Home reported my team last week. It concluded that political party will play a bigger role in Southern, because 3 of my team members were elected, and a DAB candidate won in Wah Kwai. pls see: http://www.takemehome.com.hk/view_epaper.php?p=filedata/epaper/papers/0F/20071123/HKET_20071123_0F_003-01.jpg&f_date=2007-11-23&f_area=0F&f_pageno=003 and ://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/kevin-wch/article?mid=1438&fid=-1&action=next

But the Council will sitll be dominated by the so-called traditional individual community activists.

And, there's a shorter report on my opponent, who was reported that he has been planning the next election. Pls see: http://www.takemehome.com.hk/view_epaper.php?p=filedata/epaper/papers/0F/20071123/HKET_20071123_0F_004-01.jpg&f_date=2007-11-23&f_area=0F&f_pageno=004

The DAB has a plenty of recourses to support my opponent to be a "shadow district councillor". I welcome this challenge if it is true. And I think such competition benefits our residents most.

風鈴繫不住，一片落花聲：阿碩的選舉感想 A Friend's Article in Xanga

朋友阿碩在Xanga裡寫了1118當天來幫我做義工的感想(http://www.xanga.com/gauchi2001)。碩是我在中大時國是學會的上一任主席，雅好文學，寫得一手好詩詞，讓我心生欽羡！我至今連平仄音律都沒能完全弄明白，但當年卻敢寫古詩，想起來真的好生慚愧。

阿碩的詞作多婉約語，不甚合我味口；他的詩作我印象最深的是這兩句：風鈴繫不住，一片落花聲。真讓我拍案叫絕！這兩句的意境幾逼唐詩名句：夜來風兩聲，花落知多少。可惜我已忘了前兩句，那似是寫深夜讀書的心境。

我初任議員助理到決定參選，阿碩一直對我鼓勵有加，的確如我感謝他時所說的那樣：「感謝您當初鼓勵我參選，當初大部份朋友反應都很一般，只有你和堅特別上心，做了很多事，真的很感激您！」

就如我多次在blog裡強調的那樣，我真的很幸運，有那麼多的朋友在我身邊，鼓勵我，幫助我。我的朋友大多住在九龍乃至遠在新界，但他們為了我，都願意長途來南區做我的義工，乃至有住在東涌的朋友在18日前一晚剛上完夜班，也不忘趕過來幫忙。你們說，這樣的情義，怎麼不令我感動，讓我心存感激呢。

選舉是team work，雖然朋友們只在投票日當天來幫忙幾個小時，但他們是我這個team不可或缺的一份子。選舉已畢，或許可以稍作"詩情畫意"的想象：朋友們的幫忙就如落花伴著風鈴，聲聲入耳，我永記於心。

各位朋友，再次感謝你們！

PS:阿碩的文字對我多有過譽之辭，論及我的地區工作及選舉條例之處，未必能"準確無誤"，相信各位能分辨清楚。

Shek wrote an article on me. He is a good friend of mine and he came to help me as a volunteer on the voting day, Shek is a very few friend who encouraged me to do my best as an assistant to district and legislative councilors. He fully supported me to run for the elected office.

Shek writes classical poems, and he is good at it. It’s a pity that I can’t translate his work in English properly. These are the best lines I still remember:

Not the wind bells can stop

Sounds of flower falling

There were around 30 friends came to be volunteers on the voting day. I thank for them a lot. Political campaign is a team work. Even they just came to help for a few hours, they actually were members of my team, and helped to win this election. Most of my friends live in Kowloon, some of them in NT, but they came without hesitation, because of me. And I know there were two among them, worked overnight before the voting day, but they still came to help.

I am thankful to have such friends. Allow me to re-write the lines of Shek’s to express my gratitude:

Not the sounds of wind bells and the flower falling can stop

My gratitude to you, my dearest friends

真心良心 陳方安生 Anson Chan: Vote From Your heart

前政務司司長陳方安生參加立法會港島區補選(她的競選blog:：　http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/yourchoiceyourvoice ; 網站：http://www.yourchoiceyourvoice.org/　)，南區的拉票工作自然少不了我的份。其實早在我的競選期，我已兩次任義工，替陳太助選拉票。原因無他，她這次代表香港的核心價值參選，並毅然爭取普選。

陳太有香港良心的美譽，這次的競選口號也是「真心良心」。上星期五以及今天，立法會議員楊森和我已在香港仔中心展開宣傳(可惜沒有拍照紀錄)，有不少長者弄不清區議會和立法會選舉，他們的反應是：不是剛投完票嗎，怎麼會見到你拉票啊。

僅此一點，就可見我們的公民教育還有很大的改善空間。

今晚，在遮打花園舉行了八大電子傳媒合辦的立法會港島區補選論壇，楊森和我在四點多已到現場打氣及幫忙打點。左派動員力果然驚人，我們到現場時就發現誰壇幾乎被左派包圍了，那些諷刺陳太的banner到處都是，他們使用慣技，分別以不同團體名義到場，其實一眼就看得出是統一組織而來的。再細問一下他們到場的參與者：有長者連參加的目的也完全不知道，只是有車接他們到現場。

上星期我經歷了自己的選舉，其實區議會的選舉比起立法會，規模無法相提並論。但就在區議會裡，也能看到一些走灰色地帶，各種出位和涉嫌違法的宣傳技倆；一到立法會的層次，更是無所不用其極，臨近投票日，政治攻擊乃至刻意污衊幾乎是必然的事。故這次傳媒所謂報料，翻陳太舊帳等等，其實都是意料中事：左派這樣做，用心路人皆見。

怪不得，市民看在眼裡，會覺得政治很污穢不堪。

12月2日，請您支持陳太，用選票向這樣污穢不堪的政治手法say no.

幸好，我們輸人不輸陣。當晚我們士氣昂揚，氣勢完全不輸給對手。

After my own campaign was completed, I've started to help Anson Chan, the former Chief Secretary, to run for her by-election of LegCo HK island constituency. (See her platform at : http://www.yourchoiceyourvoice.org/en/index.html)

Legislative Councillor, Dr. Yeung Sum, whom I assist to, went to Aberdeen Centre with me to distribute leaflets and called for support last Friday and this morning. We support Mrs. Chan becasue she represents the core value of HK, and she promises to fight for universal suffrage in 2012.

I attended a forum in Central, which held by 8 media agencies, for the 8 candidates to debate the policy and present their political platform.

As usual, the pro-Beijing camp organized a lot of people to come to support their candidate, Mrs Regina Ip. But our spirit was high, because we all went there with our heart I think.

Please vote for Anson Chan, vote from your heart and vote for the core value of HK, and her determination in fighting for democracy.

《政治的浪漫派》：現代人的處境

昨晚重看卡爾·施米特的《政治的浪漫派》的再版前言，有感香港乃至現代政治大氣候，以及現代人無助的處境。現把其中一段摘引如下，與各位分享：

只有在個人主義而導致解體的社會裡，審美創造的主體才能把精神中心轉移到自己身上，只有在市民階級的世界裡，個人才會變得在精神領域孤獨無助，使個人成為自己的參照點，讓自己承擔全部重負，而在過去，重負是按等級分配給社會秩序中職能不同的人。在這個社會裡，個人得成為自己的教士。不僅如此，由於虔敬(Religiosen)的核心意義和持久性，個人還得做自己的詩人、自己的哲學家、自己的君王、自己的人格大教堂的首席建築師。浪漫派和浪漫現象的終極根源，在於私人教士制之中(im privaten Priestertum)。如果我們從這些方面來考慮，就不應只盯著心地善良的牧歌派。相反，我們必須看看浪漫運動背後的絕望----不管這絕望是在一個灑滿月光的甜蜜夜晚為了上帝和世界而變成抒情的狂喜，還是因塵世的疲憊和世紀病而歎息，悲觀地撕裂自我，抑或瘋狂地鑽進本能和生命的深淵。我們必須看看以其怪異的面孔刺穿色彩斑斕的幕布的三個人：拜倫、波德萊爾和尼采。他們是這種私人教士制中的三位大祭司，也是其三個犧牲品。

摘自《政治的浪漫派》，德國卡爾·施米特著，上海人民出版社2004年7月出版，P17-18

 

尋找辦事處的故事 Office Wanted

選舉當天就有一位居民朋友問我：當選後第一件事會做什麼?

我當時答他說：我真的需要放個假，休息一下，因為近兩年來我都沒放過假呢。他說這個很自然，但他接著提醒我說：我說的是公事，在區內找個辦事處才是你應做的第一件事。

他說得沒錯，我這些天根本沒機會休息。像選舉時一樣忙碌，早些天到區內謝票(因為黃竹坑區人口分散，需要分四次謝票)。這一兩天則忙著籌備自己以後的辦事處，才能更好地服務居民。

受區議會經費所限，將來的辦事處只能會是"豆腐院咁細"的蚊型Office，但怎麼說也是自己的辦事處吧，麻雀雖小，也可以五臟俱全的。記起中學時的一篇文章有句話是這樣的：一屋之不掃，何以掃天下？雖說口氣略歉太大，但我今天也算是能自立問戶了，我日後的從政之路，就將由一間蚊型辦事處出發。

我會努力以赴，管理好一個小小的辦事處，更好地為居民服務。

ps:故事還沒完，因為我還在找這個辦事處的位置呢。各位有何建議？

........................................................................

I had been to our communiyt to thank voters for their support these days. I failed again to take one or two days to have a good rest. Of course, it was certainly a happy thing to go into peoples as a winner to thank for support.

I've been looking for my own office these days too. Even it will be a tiny one, an office located in my constituency is important for resident to reach me, and it certainly shows that I do care our community and I'm here to serve.

A tiny office is like my tiny success in this election. I'll work hard to manage it well enough to gain a bigger one, boht the office and the success in the future.

PS: I've been looking for a location of my office, suggestions are always welcome. 

My Team Had Done a Great Job in Southern

There's an overwhelming view that we democrat lost badly in this district election. As a whole, I won't deny that it's a cruel fact that we must accept.

But the situation in Southern is quite different. My team had done a great job.

My party has most candidates (5 in total) took part in this election in Southern, a district long time dominated by so-called "traditional individual community activist". Because of our community work, we won in 3 constituencies; there are Andrew Fung Wai Kwong in South Horizons (West), Henry Chai Man Hon in Wah Fu (2), and my constituency Wong Chuk Hang.

D07	South Horizons West	1	FUNG Wai-kwong	1,747*
		2	LAW Kam-hung	1,419

D10	Wah Fu II	1	CHAI Man-hon	2,450*
		2	TSANG Tze-kwan, Marina	1,046

D15	Wong Chuk Hang	1	HUI Wan-mai	301
		2	TSUI Yuen-wa	2,073*
		3	WONG Choi-lap	1,277

Actually, we DO have chance to win in 5 constituencies.

The other 2 democrats, who lost in  a tiny margin, 87 in Wah Kwai and only 27 in Lee Tung (2). And I have to remind you that even though there's no July 1 effect in this election, we gained more votes than before; and in Lee Tung(2), my team member, LO Kin-hei, is just a 23 year old young man, but fighting a incumbent who in office for more than a decade! He gained 1478 votes, only lost for 27 votes. He had done a brilliant job!

D05	Lei Tung II	1	LO Kin-hei	1,478
		2	WONG Che-ngai	1,505*

D08	Wah Kwai	1	HUNG Tenny	1,337
		2	YEUNG Siu-pik (Lina)	2,077

(http://www.elections.gov.hk/dc2007/eng/results_southern.html )

There’s a public opinion that we democrats just focuses on our work in fighting for democracy, but have not done it well in community work. My team in Southern proves it is not true. We have been doing quite a lot of community works, and they were reflected in the result of this election.

We will keep working hard in Southern, both in political issues and livelihood issues.
