Managing Director’s Review One aspect of Hong Kong that seems to surprise visitors, especially those living in other places in Asia or those who have recently visited those other places, is the relatively high degree of criticism and adverse comment we have in our media. Some see this as being a negative indicator; wouldn’t it be better if everybody seemed happy and content But after consideration, which really doesn't seem to take very long, our visitors recognize this to be good and healthy, and an excellent indicator of the strength and robustness of Hong Kong society. While the freedom of speech in Hong Kong would appear to give doomsayers ample opportunity to spread their depressing messages, it clearly stirs discussion and debate. Of course, it does make life much more difficult for those in Government or those whose positions in society puts them in the public eye. It is essential, however, for Government not to become paralysed by criticism, or to reverse policies as a result of loud adverse comment from vocal minorities. It is necessary to realize that it is a human failing to concentrate on the bad news rather than celebrate the good, but this should be seen as a refl ection of the fact that bad news is unusual, which frankly is a good message to give. Free speech and a willingness to speak out are Hong Kong’s strengths, and we use them to the full both in Hong Kong as well as in the debate about legislation and regulation of our shipping industry. Because of our willingness to express intelligent, well thought out and sometimes contrary but fully justified opinions, the Hong Kong shipping industry continues to punch well above its weight, and is frequently asked to represent the Asian voice, both in regional and international fora.
