    【Emily】北都例委員嫌審得耐 梁美芬：30個鐘唔多

    梁美芬反駁對北都例審議時間過長的批評，強調審30個鐘「一啲都唔多」；立法會《北都發展條例》法案委員會7月起開工，共舉行12次會議，前日完成工作。草案條文涉及17條現行法例，北部都會區面積同人口龐大，議員審議時需參考5條附例草稿、公告及技術備忘錄。她強調事先已提醒委員「擘大隻眼」審議條文，避免重蹈安全帶附例出錯覆轍。

    【Ngau Tau Kok Fire】Proxy Vote Dispute: Former Owners' Corporation Adviser Says Wong Pik-kiu Was Pressured

    Chan Kau-keung, formerly chairman of the Ngau Tau Kok Fire Owners' Corporation management committee and adviser to the corporation, submitted a written response to the Ngau Tau Kok Fire Independent Investigation Commission in June this year, stating that Wong Pik-kiu was subjected to "political suppression" over the proxy vote incident, and that someone was using it to "divert attention". He said the number of proxies at owners' meetings had always exceeded the actual attendance, with many owners granting proxies without attending, and he believed Wong "would only seek to assist owners with what they asked for, dealing with matters realistically".

    【MacPherson Place Fire】Supervisor's Testimony: Original Windows Were Non-Fire-Rated; Did Not Think Creating Openings Was Illegal; People from Four Relevant Companies Knew of Openings but Made No Report

    The Independent Commission uploaded written testimony on the window replacement works at MacPherson Place online last night, revealing that Dynamic Interior Design Limited, Chi Fu Construction Company, authorised person Lai Ka-wing and structural engineer Chik Mou-kin knew of the openings before the fire but made no report. Chik said the original windows could be opened and he did not see any difference from an opening; Lai said that after removing the non-fire-rated windows they were covered with wooden boards, and at the time he did not notice that this might be illegal.

    Why read this: Written testimony at the hearing states that all four parties knew of the openings before the fire yet made no report, along with each party's account of whether it was illegal, allowing readers to check the key points of dispute over responsibility.

    Abby Choi Murder Trial Continues: Tam Fong-chun Says Li Sui-heung Questioned His Reporting to Police, Kwok Family Reacted Calmly

    The trial of the murder of Abby Choi continued at the High Court yesterday. Tam Fong-chun testified that after Choi lost contact, members of the Kwok family reacted calmly, and that Li Sui-heung questioned why he reported to the police without receiving any contact from the kidnappers. Tam later believed the other party wanted to divert attention and delay the police report. On the second day of Choi's disappearance, Tam received a police call while travelling in a private car driven by Kwok Kong-kit, in which officers said they were "extremely suspicious of the Kwok family" and reminded him that he should leave Kwok Kong-kit.

    Retired Woman Charged with Incitement Says She Posted Words Only After Being Attacked by New-Immigrant Security Guard

    A retired woman is suspected of posting words including "Expel Mainland Garbage Security Guards, Liberate Hong Kong" on the wall of her flat's main door and has been charged with "publishing or displaying seditious publications with knowledge of the seditious intent". The case began trial yesterday at the West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts. She told National Security Department officers that she had posted the papers only because she had previously been attacked by 1 mainland new-immigrant security guard downstairs. In court, she questioned whether anyone would see the Hong Kong and British flag she had posted on the 31st-floor window, asking rhetorically, "How am I inciting? Inciting the birds?"

    Senior Investor Peter Chan Ching-pan: Falling Second-Hand Transaction Volumes Sound Alarm for Hong Kong Property Market

    Senior property investor Peter Chan Ching-pan said the biggest problem facing Hong Kong's property market is a clear drop in second-hand transaction volumes, with some owners eager to sell needing to slash prices substantially to offload their flats, and the market has sounded an alarm. The Rating and Valuation Department's property price index rose nearly 8% in the first half of this year but has flattened since the second half. He predicted that if Hong Kong banks follow the United States in raising interest rates sharply over the coming months, property prices could test last year's first-quarter lows.

    Chau Hin: It's Not Your Money, It Won't Enter Your Pocket

    Chau Hin points out that in fortune-telling studies, 'fate' and 'luck' are two entirely different things, with Tung Chee-hwa being the most typical example, belonging to the category of 'having fate but no luck'. He was born to a wealthy second-generation family, but as soon as he took over the family business, he encountered a crisis in the shipping industry. After gritting his teeth and holding on through it, the golden age of the shipping industry and the era of the shipping magnates had already gone, and Hong Kong had also entered the era of property.

    Lau Sze-ming: Funds Adopt Defensive Positioning, Longyuan Power Reassessed

    The rebound in Asia-Pacific stocks generally met resistance. The Hang Seng Index fell before rising for two consecutive days, with buying support at low levels, but the market remained subdued and funds still tended towards defensive positioning. High international oil prices, China's PPI growth exceeding expectations, and pressure on AI computing power and infrastructure stocks intensified concerns about rising costs, significantly cooling risk appetite.
