Digital Hong Kong 2005
initially was the platform for my Legislative
Council election campaign in 1998, it
depicts how I envisage Hong Kong being
a digital city that excels in the field
of advanced technology and is able to
harness technologies to boost our economy
and to raise our living standard. Having
obtained support of the IT voters, I
was elected to be the legislator representing
the Information Technology Functional
Constituency (ITFC) and was given the
great opportunity to prove that Digital
Hong Kong is not a castle in the air
but a feasible and pragmatic plan that
leads Hong Kong to prosper in the 21st
century.
Throughout the past
two years, it has been my ineffable
honor and pleasure to witness and influence
on the IT development in Hong Kong with
great support from the IT industry and
opportunities to work with them. We
have worked hand in hand, witnessed
our visions became realities, and are
now reaping the fruits of our toil.
However, it is just the beginning of
our mission of leading Hong Kong to
usher into the digital age, our hard
work does not stop here. Hong Kong is
still a laggard in the global digital
economy. It takes more than a frenetic
rush of buying Internet stocks or a
few government campaign slogans to make
Hong Kong a leading digital city, we
need to continue to urge the government
to implement feasible policies and introduce
pertinent legislative measures to fortify
the cornerstones for the future digital
Hong Kong. This work report is meant
to inform you of the latest IT development
in Hong Kong, the progress of our work,
and my service in the Legislative Council
in the past two year. As always, I hope
this report will attract your comments.
I have been involved
in Hong Kong politics for over a decade
and have been an elected representative
at all three tiers of the government
since 1985. Having been elected in 1998
to represent the ITFC shifted my policy
focus from housing and transportation
to the digital economy and IT professional
development. What remain unchanged throughout
the years are my ardent passion in serving
the community and promoting public good
and my committed mission to fight for
democracy, freedom, and the rule of
law in Hong Kong. And I hope I can continue
to work for you and with you for a better
Hong Kong.
I have no regret for
being in the political arena for all
these years, but please allow me to
seize this opportunity here to express
my greatest gratitude to my beloved
family for their perpetual support and
kind understanding.
