#Opinion by Lau Sai-leung 劉細良 | " Political lobbying is not regulated in Hong Kong because power was vested in civil servants in the past, and there was not much room for such things. Now the lawmakers have assumed power. Untrammeled, they have ushered in the era of pay-to-play. When lawmakers make a show of querying or vetoing a funding request, the stakeholders affected know it’s time to lobby. A relationship of interests is thus created."

"香港沒有任何規管政治游說工作,因為以往權力在公務員手,沒有甚麼政治游說空間,現在轉移到議員之手,在冇王管的狀態下,利益輸送由此而來。當議員作勢質疑或否決撥款,stakeholders 便需要做游說工作,利益關係由此搭上。"

肥波火滾英文
"Captain Hindsight"「事後孔明大隊長」
上年3月爆發第一波疫情嘅時候,英國醫院嚴重缺乏呼吸機,當時政府希望本地生產業幫手緊急製造應付,而Dyson就係其中一間企業願意免費設計同生產。今日BBC唔知點樣揾到Dyson老細同首相Boris Johnson當時嘅私人訊息,要求有關嘅員工可以括免稅項,引發咗令肥波响下議首相院答問環節被盤到發皮氣嘅政治小風波。
最大反對黨工黨黨魁當然唔會放過呢個機會盤問肥波,言辭已經勁,點知肥波聽到仲癲。
"Every day, there are new allegations about this Conservative Government: dodgy personal protective equipment deals; tax breaks for their mates; and the Health Secretary owning shares in a company delivering NHS services. Sleaze, sleaze, sleaze, and it is all on his watch. With this scandal now firmly centred on him, how on earth does he expect people to believe that he is the person to clean this mess up?"
(每一日都聽到對保守黨新嘅指控:閃縮嘅防疫設備合約,幫啲友好減稅,衛生大臣有醫療設備公司股份。卑劣,卑劣,卑劣(重複三次),就係由呢條友領導㗎喇。依家呢單醜聞直接係圍繞佢本人,叫人點可以相信佢可以自己澄清呀?)
講咁盡,肥波即時暴走,
"I will tell the right hon. and learned Gentleman why this Government are doing the right thing at the right time. The difference between us and the Labour party is, I am afraid, staringly obvious. We get on with taking the tough decisions to protect the people of this country and to take our country forward, uniting and levelling up. We take the tough decisions to procure tens of thousands of ventilators in record time, which, apparently, he now opposes. We put forward tougher sentences for rapists and violent criminals, which he then opposes on a three-line Whip. We take tough decisions to stick up for the fans of our national game. While captain hindsight snipes continually from the sidelines, this Government get on with delivering on the people’s priorities."
(依家我就話比全世界知呢個(保守黨)政府係適當嘅時候做適當嘅事,我地同工黨嘅分別恐怕都非常明顯,我地會做艱難嘅決定去保護國民,團結大家,帶領國家向前。當時亦做咗艱難嘅決定响有限嘅時間得到數以萬計嘅呼吸機,哈,佢依家走黎反對。同樣,當我地想通過草案加強對暴力同強姦罪犯嘅刑罰嘅時候,又係佢用黨鞭反對。尋日,我地做決定去同全國球迷一致守護國民運動嗰時,呢條「事後孔明大隊長」就繼續啲邊線食花生。)
唔知肥波心裡面會唔會有一絲幻想,要整頓BBC或者拉咗呢個反對派呢?

哇,強烈譴責香港政府花費八千四百萬港元,試圖或企圖引入美國政府介入香港事務!
根據《Hong Kong Free Press》獨家報道,香港政府官員及其遊說者與美國國會高級代表在幕後舉行會議,討論《香港人權與民主法》。
這些會議是香港政府出資數千萬元聘請說客組織安排。
對於香港政府公營機構公然邀請外國立法機關以任何形式干預香港事務,香港各界同胞無不表示強烈憤慨。

On March 19, 2017, Taiwanese pro-democracy activist Lee Ming-Che (李明哲) disappeared in China. Ten days later, China admitted to having taken him. Mr. Lee is now serving a five-year sentence for the “subversion of state” in Hunan, China. Evidence against him included social media activities on QQ, WeChat, and Facebook, both when he was physically inside and outside Chinese borders.
Today’s guest is E-ling Chiu(邱伊翎)Executive Director of Amnesty International in Taiwan, and former Secretary General of the Taiwan Association for Human Rights. Ms. Chiu has been working closely with Lee’s wife, lobbying for international support and leading the coalition of civic society called “the Lee Ming-Che Rescue Team."
Today’s host is William Yang, a correspondent for Deutsche Welle based in Taipei. Yang is a regular contributor to The Guardian, Quartz, and The Independent.

Yearning for a Bersih electoral system
A Cry For Royal Help / Part 2
Produced by Indrani Kopal
THE ISSUE: All that the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) wants is an election system that is free of taint and above suspicion.
In aid of this, the grouping - comprising 67 NGOs and five opposition parties - has been active in canvassing voter support, while also lobbying the Election Commission (EC) to implement its ideas.
Earlier this year, it held low-key meetings with the EC and roadshows to educate the public about what should constitute clean and fair elections in Malaysia.
These efforts bore fruit - the EC agreed to use indelible ink to curb multiple voting and even to introduce transparent voting boxes in the next general election. Still, this apparently fell short of Bersihs demands.
When the coalition took its case to supporters in Kuala Terengganu in September, its planned ceramah attracted action. The cops moved in, sealed off the venue, and used force to deal with resistance - live bullets injured two people.
Not to be intimidated, Bersih reacted with plans for a massive rally in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 10. Despite a police cordon and use of water cannon and tear gas, some 40,000 protesters managed to march to Istana Negara where a petition was handed to the Kings representative.
