Christopher Hui promotes DC poll

The seventh District Council (DC) Ordinary Election will be held on December 10. This is the first large-scale citywide election following improvements to the district governance system and reforms to our DCs. It is of utmost importance to the steadfast and successful implementation of “one country, two systems”, good governance in Hong Kong, as well as providing a better living environment for people to live and thrive.

DCs’ work is relevant to each and every member of our community. They play the role of complementing the Government and assist us in better feeling the pulse of the community, so that the Government can have more effective planning of district services. The new DCs will focus their attention on livelihood issues, reflect the community’s views to the Government, suggest corresponding measures and assist the Government in implementing district policies. The Financial Services & the Treasury Bureau has all along been actively working with our financial regulators and industry players to promote the long-term development of our financial industry. We will definitely count on your participation in this landmark election!

The polling hours for the upcoming DC geographical constituencies are between 8.30am and 10.30pm on December 10. I appeal to you as well as your family members to fulfil the civic responsibility by casting your vote and picking your preferred candidate to build a better community together.

Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury Christopher Hui wrote this open letter and posted it on his blog on November 23.
