In a historic move, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's Legislative Council is leveling up its game. Formed in January 2022 under an improved electoral system, the seventh LegCo has already passed 120 bills and approved funding proposals exceeding HK$668 billion by mid-July 2025. This impressive boost marks a turning point, nearly doubling the achievements of the previous term!
Driven by the motto, "what is good can always be better," LegCo members approved a series of proactive proposals on 24 July 2025. A key initiative is the introduction of a new Code for Members—a roadmap designed to enhance accountability, instill self-discipline, and elevate performance standards. The Code streamlines existing regulations while emphasizing constitutional order, the executive-led government system, and national security priorities.
Imagine it like upgrading your favorite app: each update makes it more efficient and user-friendly. 🚀 The Code isn’t just about rules; it’s a commitment to fact-based, constructive policy discussions and transparent governance. As Hong Kong transitions from stability to broader prosperity, this new framework sets the stage for continuous improvement and inspires public confidence.
For everyone keeping an eye on global changes, this marks an exciting chapter in Hong Kong's journey—a testament to the belief that even when things are good, there's always room to be better. Onward to new horizons!
