Henderson Land Development Chairman Martin Lee Ka-shing made several personal visits to local communities to actively promote the upcoming Legislative Council election scheduled for December 7.
He remarked that the election atmosphere this year is enthusiastic, noting many people proactively approached him for leaflets during his earlier participation in street station activities.
Henderson Land has stated its support for the election by promoting it across approximately 180 residential estates, 17 large shopping malls, and its commercial buildings.
The group will also arrange for the multimedia exterior wall of The Henderson to display voting messages on election day, reaching an estimated one million people daily.
Furthermore, the group announced it will grant all employees a half-day leave to support them in fulfilling their civic responsibilities.
Meanwhile, Chief Secretary for Administration Eric Chan Kwok-ki, accompanied by a group of newly appointed Justices of the Peace, called for active involvement from all sectors of society in the upcoming poll.
In an innovative push, Secretary for the Civil Service Ingrid Yeung Ho Poi-yan released a video featuring several officials, including Deputy Secretary for Justice Horace Cheung Kwok-kwan, Education Secretary Christine Choi Yuk-lin, Financial Services and the Treasury Secretary Christopher Hui Ching-yu, Labour and Welfare Secretary Chris Sun Yuk-han, and Director of the Chief Executive’s Office Carol Yip Man-kuen.
In the video, they addressed residents in languages ranging from Hakka and Minnan to Shandong and Chiu Chow, each appealing to their “laoxiang” – their fellow countrymen – to cast their ballots.
Secretary for Justice Paul Lam Ting-kwok expressed that active participation by Hong Kongers in the election demonstrates support for the principle of “patriots administering Hong Kong.”
Legco President Andrew Leung Kwan-yuen also encouraged people to vote, while Deputy Secretary for Development David Lam Chi-man visited construction sites to encourage workers to do the same.
