Dear Mr Chan
Language Requirement for
Domestic Free Television Programme Service
I am responding on behalf of our
Chairman, Mr Christopher Cheng. The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce feels very
strongly that English language programming on the two terrestrial TV stations must
continue. Hong Kong's economic future depends on maintaining our international character.
The key part of that effort is improving English language proficiency for as many people
in Hong Kong as possible. Therefore, the masses must have access to English language
programming on TV, which has historically been proven to be one of the best ways to learn
English. Some minority language programming would be fine, but English programming should
be predominant.
Regards,
Eden Woon
