Hey everyone! Big changes are coming out of Hong Kong! The Legislative Council (LegCo) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is entering a transformative phase. Under an improved electoral system established in January 2022, LegCo has overcome past internal challenges to focus on a more pragmatic and results-driven approach.
LegCo’s achievements are hard to miss – by mid-July 2025, they've passed 120 bills (nearly double compared to the previous term) and approved funding proposals totaling over HK$668 billion. It’s like a major system upgrade for public service! 🚀
Looking ahead, LegCo is all set for the next term starting in January 2026 with fresh, forward-thinking plans. One standout initiative is the introduction of a new Code for Members. This Code is designed to boost accountability, encourage self-discipline, and maintain high performance standards – proving that what is good can always be better!
By streamlining and refining existing regulations, the new Code provides a transparent framework for enacting legislation, monitoring government actions, and ensuring responsible public spending. In essence, it's a robust upgrade that echoes the tech updates many of us look forward to – making systems smoother, faster, and more reliable. 😊
As Hong Kong enters a critical phase of transitioning from stability to prosperity, this reform not only reinforces strong public service values but also paves the way for enhanced trust and efficiency. Stay tuned for more updates as LegCo leads the way in redefining governance!
