Review of the Building Management Ordinance (Cap. 344) – Further Legislative Proposals and Administrative Measures Sherman Wong 24/4/2017 The following discourse represent not only my personal perception of the subject matter but also incorporates the views of a quite wide spectrum of people involved. I have kept working closely and exchanging ideas frequently with them as a member of the management committee of incorporated owners including commercial and residential buildings for years. Nevertheless, they are not used to reveal their views openly to the public like the social activist. It is deemed that their voice should be told, heard and taken into consideration in the law reform..... |

Myths of Democracy 民主迷思 Democracy has replaced communism and socialism as the icon of Utopia in the last two decades since the collapse of Soviet Union. Since then, the democratic advocates is getting bolder and more confident in their conviction.....However, in the writers' opinion, their understanding of democracy is based on a lot of myths without much deliberation. The general public are not well informed of the practical problems arising from a series of internal conflicts .....When democracy is kidnapped by ambitious politicians or extremists, it can be as dangerous as other radicalisms for various kinds of corruption. Therefore, the writer expects to voice out the aspiration of some ordinary residents for ending the meaningless debate over ideologies. |

Reverse Sex Discrimination-Its Adverse Social Effects on Legislation and Law Enforcement This article is not intended for demonizing any females or denying the fact that males account for the majority of sex offences but telling the truth that reverse sex discrimination is equally evil as sex discrimination and now reverse sex harassment/assault is not remote to us. ....The reverse sex discrimination against males of low and middle class cannot remedy the exploitation and oppression of females by the wealthy and upper class. ....When a male victim of reverse sexual assault is wrongfully convicted guilty for gender biased law, practice or policy, we should feel shameful for claiming that we have a fair and just legal system and denouncing the religion and culture of those places where female survivors of sexual assault are discriminated by the society. At least their law penalize the victimizer. If no body can give a good reason to convince those males who are both the victims of sexual assault and gender discrimination, some day somehow the repercussion will cause the society as a whole to pay off their overdoing in the rectification of sex discrimination against females. |

Open Appeal for Law Reform To Curb Lawsuit Abuse Arising from Copyright Protection No matter how frivolous and practically moonshine the allegation is, there are little choices available to him for self-defense at affordable cost according to the prevailing legal procedure before or after the 2009 judicial reform, not to mention the possibility of penalizing the frivolous litigant. ....Why should we strive to be a fanatic follower of such a corrupted and ridiculous system blamed even by their citizens without reservation? |

Letter to MPF Scheme Authority -06/5/2010 ..........It is deemed that the government should also be liable for the abuse of power of these MPF trustee companies. All the ordinance was made under the influence of lobbiers of these trustee companies on the assumption that they were all faultless, ethical, reliable, responsible and trust worthy. There is no statutory mechanism to check their behavior so that they could bully their customers for high sounding reasons and in the name of law............ |

Opinion on the Amendment to the Copyright Ordinance 2010 (ref: /doc/gov/10/on-copyright_100302) - 3/3/2010 ...we respect copyright and private ownership. Hence we quote and credit the source of free stuff, and pay for commercial products if we choose to use them. However, we object a bad law in the sense that law abiding people do not know how to observe it and evil minded people may abuse it....If the progress brings most of our people the ever graver problems of digital divide, polarization of wealth distribution, monopolization of knowledge, fear of frivolous lawsuit, limitation of freedom in our daily life, etc., how can we be convinced to embrace the digital revolution?....All the aforesaid adverse effects are the result of an imbalance of institution biased to some privileged minority. Some other people support it because they have been misled or misinformed. |

Free Art -9/2008 Someone claim that the majority of people may enjoy wealth generated from their creative work....Nobody is able to tell if his idea would coinside with someone living and working in elsewhere of the world...Then some people stood up and vowed that this "permission culture" was not the thing they want but that they valued the joy of sharing and recognition of their idea more than money....However, do not confuss "piracy" with "free culture".... |

And, we believe in sharing. |
