The theme of this year's National Security Education Day is "Proactively Align with the 15th Five-Year Plan Follow a Holistic Approach to Development and Security". The open day featured game booths centred on the 15th Five-Year Plan and national security, aimed at deepening the public's understanding of the Plan and national security, as well as strengthening their sense of national identity. In response to the publication of the white paper on "Hong Kong: Safeguarding China's National Security Under the Framework of One Country, Two Systems" by the State Council Information Office earlier, the event also included a related game booth to enhance the public's understanding of the white paper in an interesting and interactive way.

The CSD Sports Association's online charity gift sales platform, Made in Prison, also set up a sales counter at the open day, selling a number of National Security Education Day limited-edition products. While promoting national security, it also encouraged the public to support rehabilitation of persons in custody.

Moreover, the Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum and the Community Education Experience Centre were open to the public. A gallery themed "Correctional Services and National Security" has been set up in the Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum to deepen the public's understanding of the importance and significance of safeguarding national security. The Community Education Experience Centre, themed "Home, Country and Corrections", features a number of interactive games and multimedia items to promote national security and the messages of safeguarding the country and home, leading a law-abiding and drug-free life, as well as supporting offender rehabilitation.

The Deputy Secretary for Justice, Dr Cheung Kwok-kwan, accompanied by the Commissioner of Correctional Services, Mr Wong Kwok-hing, also attended the event to visit exhibitions and game booths.

In addition, the CSD today launched the "National Security Education Special Edition of Rehabilitation Express" promotion vehicle to disseminate national security messages to young people in the community. The vehicle will visit primary and secondary schools across Hong Kong, featuring four interactive games on the theme of national security, including scenario simulation and motion-sensing games, with the aim of embedding national security awareness in the community and schools, and cultivating young people's self-awareness in safeguarding national security.

To further enhance national security awareness among persons in custody, the CSD will also convert some content in the promotion vehicle into virtual-reality games, allowing persons in custody to learn accurate national security knowledge through immersive three-dimensional virtual scenarios within correctional institutions, thereby building their sense of nationhood and strengthening national identity.

The CSD, as the last element in the criminal justice system, will continue to ensure prison stability, safeguard national security and promote national security education through organising different rehabilitation and community education activities.

Government to Enhance Building Management Transparency Amid Allegations of Forged Signatures at Wang Fuk Court

Remarks by SHYA at media session

Following are the remarks by the Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Miss Alice Mak, at a media session after attending a radio programme this morning (April 11):

Reporter: On the owners' petition regarding the Wang Fuk Court situation, could you give us the latest update and do we know how many cases were suspected to contain forged signatures?

Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs: Regarding the allegation of forged signatures, the Home Affairs Department (HAD) has already received several complaints from the residents. Some residents have even reported the case to the Police and the HAD has already referred the case to the law enforcement body and the statutory bodies for further investigation. I'm sure that the law enforcement body and the statutory bodies will carry out thorough investigation.

Reporter: You also mentioned the amendment of the Building Management Ordinance. You said that the Government is planning to hold a briefing before an annual meeting among the homeowners to let them have sufficient time to know more about the details. Could you elaborate more on this and the possibility of using technologies to encourage homeowners to participate in the owners' meeting? What are the Government's considerations?

Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs: We have introduced our five major directions in amending the Building Management Ordinance. One of the directions is to enhance the transparency and to let the owners have more information on the maintenance and repair works that will be carried out. In the current practice, owners' committees can organise or hold briefing sessions for the owners before the EGM (Extraordinary General Meeting) or AGM (Annual General Meeting) at their discretion. It's more voluntary. But from our experience, if there are briefing sessions held before the EGM or AGM, owners will have more information about the works that will be carried out, and that will encourage owners to attend the EGM or AGM, and to make sensible and reasonable decisions for their buildings. That's why one of our directions and proposals for amending the Building Management Ordinance is to require all the owners' committees to organise briefing sessions for owners before the EGM or AGM, so that owners will have more information and can make sensible and reasonable decisions at the EGM and AGM. Thank you.
