Fake news law: Effective to combat disinformation online?
立法打擊假新聞,效用大唔大?
The HKSAR government is considering to implement "fake news" law to combat disinformation, especially on online media platforms and social media, due to the appearance of a considerable amount of misinformation and disinformation online. However, some voiced out it might undermine freedom of speech, freedom of press and free flow of information online. Is legislation an effective way to combat "fake news" online? What impact will it cause to the media and online community? What can we learn from "fake news" law in other countries?
Speakers:
Mr. Benjamin Ang - Senior Fellow, S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
Mr. Ronson Chan 陳朗昇 - Chairperson, The Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA)
Mr. Raymond Li 李文 - Director, Institute for Journalism and Society (IJS), Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU)
Mr. Charles Mok 莫乃光 - Director, Tech for Good Asia
In this edition of HKIFG, we have invited experts from different aspects, namely journalist, Hong Kong scholar, IT professional and Singaporean scholar, to talk about their observation and opinion on the potential implementation of "Fake News Law" in Hong Kong. We aim to explore the topic through different perspectives and try to cast new light to the topic by including a case study of a similar enactment in Singapore.

To excel in the ever-changing society, traditional education is inadequate - the skills needed have moved beyond competence in the 3Rs (Reading, wRiting, and aRithmatic) towards broader skills in the 4Cs (Creativity, Communication, Collaboration, and Critical Thinking).
Academic studies in Hong Kong tend to be homogenous as subjects like Chemistry, Biology, and Economics dominate. Students have limited opportunities to explore their real interests beyond these few areas. Hence, they are often at a loss in the process of university application, as they only have little understanding of many university majors that are available.
Education is no longer confined to classrooms. Universities like OxBridge and Ivy League do not merely consider students’ academic achievement. Displaying their passions and personalities is of great importance to impress the interviewers. Students who set sight on top universities have to opt for suitable after-school activities that help develop an added edge.
We aspire to render students a helping hand to explore their interests, unleash their full potential and pave the road to success.

Salute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg and all the impeccable women in this world who have made a difference doing good.
Let’s live in the Ginsburg's supreme self-belief spirit, "I do think I was born under a very bring star 🌟”
* I just try to do the good job that I have to the best of my ability and I really don't think about whether I'm inspirational. I just do the best I can.
* Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn't be that women are the exception.
* Women will have achieved true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.
* As women achieve power, the barriers will fall. As society sees what women can do, as women see what women can do, there will be more women out there doing things, and we'll all be better off for it.
* I pray that I may be all that [my mother] would have been had she lived in an age when women could aspire and achieve and daughters are cherished as much as sons.
* I became a lawyer for selfish reasons. I thought I could do a lawyer's job better than any other.
* When contemplated in its extreme, almost any power looks dangerous.
* A constitution, as important as it is, will mean nothing unless the people are yearning for liberty and freedom.
* Each part of my life provided respite from the other and gave me a sense of proportion that classmates trained only on law studies lacked.
* Dissents speak to a future age. It's not simply to say, 'My colleagues are wrong and I would do it this way.' But the greatest dissents do become court opinions and gradually over time their views become the dominant view.
* Fight for the things you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.
* Reading is the key that opens doors to many good things in life. Reading shaped my dreams, and more reading helped me make my dreams come true.
* I would like to be remembered as] someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability. And to help repair tears in her society, to make things a little better through the use of whatever ability she has.
