金堯如紀念基金昨日成立，這位已故《文匯報》總編輯，六四前如實報道解放軍血腥鎮壓平民，六四後拒絕跟隨大隊轉軚，結果與社長李子誦及一眾編輯記者被辭退。

六四事件的幾年之後，寫下「痛心疾首」天窗社論創舉的左派老報人金堯如放逐到美國。在某個哀傷的晚上，金老總借酒澆愁愁更愁，坐在地上哭了起來。這是他女兒金虹的憶述，為了亡父的遺志得以傳承，她寄語這一代的新聞工作者，好好守護香港新聞自由。

為發揚金堯如的新聞道德與直筆勇氣，金堯如紀念基金正式成立，曾受他提拔的程翔與劉銳紹等出任管理成員。金虹寄語新生代年輕新聞工作者，秉承逝者精神，共同維護香港新聞自由。

13 Sai Lau Street

We used to live on the third floor of 13 Sai Lau Street, Tsuen Wan. In 1998 a few city blocks were collected by the government for re-development. We had to move with compensation.

I went on a nostaglia trip of Tsuen Wan with Sue and ran into San Tung Uk museum. I hung out there a few times after school when it was still a ruin. It had be reconstructed and turned into a museum that try to reproduce the traditional Hakka walled village. Inside there is a small exhibit showing the development of Tsuen Wan as a town in the past couple centuries.

There is a picture taken from the roof of my old home in 1997. I can still remember the 7-11 my mom used to buy ice-shake at the corner of the picture. I am surprised I didn't have the idea to take a picture myself at that time.

The whole area had been torn down and is now a modern shopping mall + residential high-rises.

Lee Cheong Ivory Arts Fty.

A couple of weeks ago we went to Gold Coast and took pictures with a bunch of friends. We ran into a stall selling ivory sculptures. The old man saw my manual camera and told me he took his sculpture pictures with a film camera too. Then he showed us his sculptures using mammoth task and ivory, and patiently explained to us the composition of different sculptures, with full knowledge that we are not buying. A small piece of his ivory sculpture costs HK$3000!! He has a webpage for his sculptures here.

Nam San Wai revisited

It was a very good day. Beautiful weather, good company, terrific food and a peaceful night.

The magic of cross-processing

I always think that digital photos record the fact but film photos capture the memory.

I met a friend who plays around with cross-processing - process slide film with the negative film procedure. That is plain magic.

Now I bring my FM2 along loaded with a roll of color slide or black & white all the time.

Lau Fau Shan

I rode my brother's bike to Lau Fau Shan with my cameras today. It took me only 40 minutes to get there. Lau Fau Shan used to be farming a lot of oysters. Not anymore because of all the building in China across the bay. Now it relies on seafood trading and seafood restaurants. I bought from there a couple bottles of home-made oyster sauce, not oyster-flavored sauce.

Racecourse

First time at the racecourse. I wanted to go there for a long time but found no special reason. This time I went with a friend whose father is a member of the Jockey Club and he goes there every racing day. I placed 4 bets. I bought a win for one of the race and the horse got a second place. Only if I bet on place I would have got $150 from a $10 bet. The food of the Chinese restaurant is pretty good.

Snaps in HK

I am using my handsome Nikon FM2 for film pictures. Some of them were positive films cross-processed. The picture is so solid and color so vibrant.

Key wins for Hong Kong opposition

From BBC news:

Hong Kong's pro-democracy camp has won more than a third of seats in elections on the island, and so retains a key veto over future major legislation.

Final results show the pro-democracy opposition won 23 out of 60 seats in the Legislative Council of the Chinese-administered but autonomous territory.

Thank you so much for everyone who voted for the pro-democracy camp.

政綱 (初稿)

監察政府施政、關注政制發展
立法會的主要功能是審議法案、監察施政。若缺乏監察，政府便會有意無意地作出疑似官商勾結、私相授受的行為。近日「副局長」及「政治助理」的委任，和數年前「西九龍發展」的建議等，就是明顯的事例。我們的業界代表，須是獨立敢言的，而不是得到政府或醫管局高層祝福的「朋友」。本人若能當選，定必以嚴謹、理性和求真的態度，代表業界監察政府施政。

來屆立法會，政制發展是無法迴避的議題，每一席位都是影響香港往後數十年的關鍵。本人的立場和大部份的市民一樣，認同「雙普選」是保障人權法治的基石，有利於香港的長遠發展。時間當然是越早越好，但可接受有限期的等待。內容方面卻更加重要，任何過渡安排都應以真正的普選為最終目標。

改善行醫環境、平衡社會利益
不論在公營機構服務、或是私人執業的同業，都希望工作穩定，可以持續發展，專心發揮所長，服務社會。可惜，近十餘年的政府政策和社會變遷，每每令同業如處於驚濤駭浪之中。缺乏發展機會、强差人意的聘用條件、工時偏長，都令在醫管局工作的同事士氣低落。人力供求失衡、保健組織惡性經營、領匯及私人商舖租金和專業責任保費急升、私家醫院病床不足等，亦使私人執業的感到艱難。以上的問題，都曾有同業提出解決方案，欠缺的是坐言起行的決心，這便是業界代表的責任。

政府剛提出的醫療融資建議，市民的供款只能減少政府在公營醫療的保貼，但並不足以促使市民選擇私營服務。若政府利用市民的供款購買私營服務，經驗所得，政府必定以壟斷者的角色扭曲市場，若果沒有合理的平衡機制，本人不會支持。

本人的競選網站將稍後開始運作，網址為www.leungkl.org，歡迎探訪及發表意見。
