Joint Institutes’ Constitutional
Reform Forum
Surveying and Built Environment
- Call for Papers
A 3-month “Public Consultation on the Methods for
Selecting the Chief Executive and for Forming the
Legislative Council in 2012” was launched in November
2009 to consult the public on how the two elections in
2012 can be further democratised.
To consult the members’ opinion of the constitutional
reform, a Joint Institutes’ forum on Constitutional
Reform was organised by Legislative Council member,
the Honourable Patrick Lau on 26 January 2010 at the
HKIS Surveyors Learning Centre. The forum was open
to all members of the Hong Kong Institute of Architects,
Hong Kong Institute of Landscape Architects, Hong
Kong Institute of Planners and the Hong Kong Institute of
Surveyors.
A panel of members including guests from the government,
the Secretary for Constitutional & Mainland Affairs, Mr
Stephen Lam and Secretary for Development, Mrs Carrie
Lam and representatives from the four institutes including
HKIS Vice President, Ms Serena Lau, HKIA President,
Ms Anna Kwong, HKILA President, Mr Evans Iu and
HKIP President Mr TAM Po Yiu, listened to the views and
comments from members.
A questionnaire on constitutional reform has also been
prepared by the Honourable Patrick Lau for consulting the
opinions of HKIS members. The questionnaire has been
emailed to members and members would be encouraged
to offer their views by completing and returning the
questionnaire to the HKIS Secretariat Office by 6 February
2010. An analysis of the members’ views will be compiled
for future reference and for future direction.
