  • I have been one of the members in the school prefect team since Sep 2007 and in Sep 2008, the team that I belong to handed over our jobs to the new group.
    I was in the entrance duty group last year, which all its members are required to go on duty near the school entrance every school day for reminding those forgetful schoolmates to tidy their uniform before starting the days for studies and, to keep watch for junior form mates attempting to go out for lunch. Frankly speaking, being late is a common practice to our members especially in the morning duty section. Sadly we have found no way to fix this problem through out the year, thus we couldn't see any disturbance to our job indeed, we seldom been able that strict to pick all not up to standard schoolmates out for reminder. The reason is that we couldn't do that much with only a pair and sometimes we just couldn't clearly decide whether his/her uniform are not acceptable in such a short period of time. We leave this job to prefects working on uniform checking days. About the lunchtime duty, I would say it's very much easier than what we were supposed to be doing in the morning and we haven't found any difficulty during duties.
    Prefects are not only selected for regular duties but special functions such as speech day, parents' day, sports day etc. I was of course selected to contribute to some of those functions in the year but I found that some positions were overmanned, leading to existence of a large number of redundant personnel. Lack of communication between departments was definitely the cause; however, this issue remained unsolved in the past 6 years and is not expected to be fixed in the coming year. It has became the tradition in our school.

  • 輪胎大王全家燒炭亡 遺書稱犯下大錯 稚子無辜陪死

    (明報)9月10日 星期三 05:10

    【明報專訊】本港十大輪胎代理商之一、峰柏有限公司董事總經理梁國鴻夫婦及其兩歲大兒子，昨晨被發現在粉嶺    坪輋豪華大宅的衣帽間中相擁燒炭昏迷，一家三口送院搶救後返魂乏術。男死者留給家人的遺書稱「犯下大錯」要自己解決，妻子決意相隨，更無視稚子意願，認為兒子「跟着他們最幸福」。警方指梁國鴻的遺書報稱因頑疾纏身尋死，調查後將案件列為兇殺及自殺案處理。

    另一遺書稱患病 行內傳涉足賭場生意

    倫常慘劇的死者為男戶主梁國鴻（59歲），他一頭銀髮，行家均稱他為「白頭梁」；其第二任妻子方月華（41歲）；以及尚有6日便足3歲的兒子梁子豪。有街坊稱子豪身體似有缺陷，懷疑父母不捨得他獨留世上而幹出傻事。梁國鴻是東洋輪胎（TOYO）香港總代理峰柏有限公司的董事總經理，是本港十大輪胎代理商之一，其前妻及部分家人早已移居加拿大    。行內消息稱，梁近年涉足澳門    賭業，但近期生意不景，疑欠下巨債不能自拔。

    邊境區刑事總督察唐耀宗表示，警方在別墅的茶几上檢獲兩封遺書，男戶主在一封遺書裏透露因頑疾纏身而萌生死念；梁家並無家庭暴力紀錄。據知，家人並不知梁患有惡疾，公司職員亦稱，梁經常運動及打高球，不似身體有病，公司業務亦上了軌道，應沒有經濟問題。邊界警區重案組會循事主的背景及財政等多方面追查，了解梁是因病厭世，還是受其他問題困擾。

    現場消息稱，梁國鴻在另一封留給家人的遺書內，表示自己「犯下大錯」，妻子決意相隨，兩人商量後，更認為幼子「跟着父母最幸福」（見另稿）。梁又在遺書中詳細交代了身後事、遺產及公司業務的安排等。

    慘案現場為打鼓嶺坪輋村505號獨立3層高新裝修的豪華大宅，四周有10呎高圍牆，內有5000多呎的花園，並有小型泳池及錦鯉池，泊有多輛車牌同為6696的名貴房車。大宅旁邊的一個貨倉，亦是梁國鴻的公司自資擁有。梁氏一家三口居於大宅的2樓，其胞姊及家人則居於3樓。

    清楚交代後事 財產首飾已轉親友

    案件揭發於昨晨7時30分，梁的60歲胞姊晨運完畢落樓，在胞弟的房外發現有一包炭，房門被反鎖，拍門良久無人應門，深感不妙，用後備匙開門，發現內裏空無一人，多件衣衫遭亂棄在牀邊，她想打開衣帽間查看卻打不開，遂叫工人用鐵筆將門撬開，赫然發現胞弟一家三口相擁昏迷在內。

    警員及救護員趕到將3人送院，經搶救後不治。

    警員在房內的茶几上發現遺書，梁姊事後亦在自己房間的門口發現一個公文袋，內有遺書清楚交代他已變賣全部首飾，以及將現金財物、公司等交託或轉交親友處理。

    大律師：債主不能向家人追討

    大律師陸偉雄表示，從法律角度而言，若有人「處心積慮」在自殺前將財產轉名或交予親人，以免死後財產會被債主取去，這種行為在法律上是「無犯法」，因法律上債務是「跟人」，當欠債人死後，除非家屬在死者借貸時出任擔保人，否則債主不能向死者家屬追債。

     

    Being a businessman seems attractive to most people especially in Hongkong where citizens' lifes are basically regarded money-oriented. However this tragedy rings the bell for those who are so revelled and keen on face-keeping.

    Undertaking risk is part of a businessman's life and it requires the man who shoulders the responsibility to be intrepid and highly self-confident, that's why aggressive investors gain a lot in shock markets while tiny depositers suffer from inflation. Despite the fact that a large number of people want to be successful merchants, essential elements of an ultimate successor are not commonly found on those intended, so as this wimpish Mr. Leung. ("Coward" )

    According to news reports, Coward suffered from a defeat on his business in Macau that has brought him a huge debt which he believed unpayable. Accompaning with virulent disease, he eventually came up with the mind of suicide. He then consulted his wife and surprisingly, she agreed to follow her husband's decision with the most ridiculous part in the story, paving their way to heaven together with their three-year-old son.

    While reading the story we discovered that Coward was lack for intrepidity that he decided to quit the world while making his family members mortuary objects because of commercial defeat and disease. Dealing with defeat is honestly the basic practice of businessmen, every entrepreneur suffered from defeats on their ways to success and an up-to-standard party should be able to overcome the hardship no matter how ugly the progress will be. Coward should not be regarded as a good businessman under this judgment indeed.

    The second thing, or I should say the main focus to his story is his selfishness and ignorance. I noticed that he shouldered the responsibility to support the whole family that his wife and son would face great trouble after his death, which should be the reason he asked them to follow his improper decision. What I can't understand is his unawareness of other ways to better the situation such as declaring bankruptcy. It would probably save the all three and reserve the chance for them to get reinstated, sadly he has only chosen to go die. I won't comment on whether his decision showed his love to his wife or not but his heartlessness to his little son. He wrote on the posthumous letter "My son would be in most happiness with his parents", sad to say I can't agree to this saying. Nobody knows what will happen in the future, so as Coward. Although defeats exist on his son, he has no right to lay judgment on his son's future that it would be gloomy without being with them in any point. Coward thought that his son is somehow a belonging to both him and his wife, that's why he could bring his little son into the "death room". To my understanding, each of us is completely independent to others including his parents; therefore, no one has the right to control one's future except judges' sentences to criminals. Coward's action showed his selfishness to his innocent son and he has intolerably ruined a fresh life. I wholeheartedly wish that no such bad parent will exist in the society anymore but I am not optimistic to this.

  • The election for the coming 4 years' Legislation Council was held on 7/9 and that was my first time being able to poll for the candidates who deserve. Propitiously I am a voter of the Island District, the place where always in lead of the election rate. I am proud of being one of the voters of where usually shows high election rate because, to my understanding, participating in polls is one's obligation and; much more importantly, those fulfilled this obligation are much powered to criticise or comment on policies approved by Legco, not to mention commenting on legislators' performance in their terms. The prerequisite for a person to make such vigorous voices is that he should have expressed his wish formally by voting in the councilor election. I would say, voters who have chosen to give up their chances to vote without any overriding reasons have less right to criticise as they didn't fulfil their obligation indeed. Rights should always go hand in hand with obligation as that's unfair to those who have effort paid if the same "amount" of rights are granted to both two groups of citizens.
    I will always commit to participate in legal polls as a citizen who eager for Hong Kong's continuity of being a competitive metropolis.

    I have made up my mind to enter the psychology department of CUHK because of four reasons. The first one is of course my deep interest to this might-be-horrible subject, I want to know how human beings think and the reason of developing criminal thoughts -- actually the most attracting part to me in psychology is criminal psychology. The second reason is related to the campus of CUHK. I love its spaciousness and graceful environment since I hate studying in a cramped campus in my university life. The third is that the sound reputation of CUHK makes me feel better being a student in this university; in addition, I believe that holding a degree issued by a well respected university contributes much to my career. The fourth reason is actually the most important reason why I would like to enter CU psychology but sadly this is not a right time to write it out . I will disclose this ultimate factor when I feel comfortable to do so.

  • My last year in secondary school started from 1st of Sep, not so many things changed in our class but a large number of differences existed in the school......Our new unendurable timetable makes everyone of us feel painful with the long studying hour in the morning which 6 lessons are placed before lunch time. Our new classroom in new wing greatly deteriorates our pain as it remains stuffy even thought all two air-conditioners are operating. I don't know what they are doing but the equipments in where used to be a conference room should not be that humble.
    In order to make as many as classmates to feel satisfied with their seats for their final few months in the school, we have consulted everyone in the class for their sitting preference and finally an ever-satisfactory sitting plan of 7M was made and released one day before the starting of school year.I hope that all of us will feel comfortable with that.
    ---
    I will insist on being hardworking in this year in order to fight for good grades and enter the university on Sep, 2009. For myself, and you.
