IT
Cares for Tsunami Relief Campaign
Dear friends,
The Indian
Ocean Tsunami is a devastating tragedy. It wrecked families
all over the world and has caused sever damages in many of
our neighboring nations. Tens of thousands lives have been
lost and thousands remain missing. Several million people
have become homeless and displaced. The human suffering has
saddened all of us. It is time for us to share and to give
our support to the numerous communities waiting for our help.
The initiating
organizations of "IT Matters for Hong Kong" urge you to lend
a helping hand to our "IT Cares for Tsunami Relief Campaign".
The Hong Kong Computer Society (HKCS) will be the coordinating
party for this joint effort. Your contribution to this relief
effort can be in many forms:
- Direct
Donations
- Company/Organization
Email Donation Drives
- IT
Assistance [Details]
As a community
- from being a part of Hong Kong to being a part of Asia,
from our profession of IT to being a part of the global village
- let us show the world that IT CARES. Thank you and may all
blessings be with you, your family and your company in 2005.
Sincerely,
Organizers
of "IT Cares for Tsunami Relief Campaign"
and "IT Matters for Hong Kong"

Media Coverage
Linking
Telecom Policy with Job Cuts is Unacceptable
CK criticized
that Hutchison Whampoa had used the revocation of the CDMA
licence as an excuse to justify its layoff plan, after the
Company announced to cut 750 jobs from its telecoms arm on
6 January 2005.
"It is
totally unacceptable for Hutchison to blame the Telecom Policy
for triggering the cuts," he said.
"The operating
environment is still difficult but I do not consider that
there will be a layoff trend in the telecoms market."
