No-one would dispute the need to protect our ecological environment and achieve sustainable development. At the same time, there are growing social and economic demands for expanding development in housing, transport, and other public infrastructures. Balancing development and environment often involves a tradeoff. Reclamation, and using lands within green belt zones and at the fringe of country parks, or even part of the Fanling golf club, for housing development are highly controversial. Are we caught in an irreconcilable dilemma?
Mr. WANG Chaowei and Mr. CHEN Zijun, the students from the Master of Arts in Personal Finance Education Programme [MA(PFE)], won the Outstanding Award in the Quest for Securities & Investment Elites (QSIE) Case Analysis Competition 2022 on 26 November 2022.
The COVID-19 pandemic has lasted much longer than most people expected when it first broke out in early 2020. The World Health Organization chief recently said that “We are not there yet, but the end is in sight.” (14 September 2022). While scepticism and uncertainty remain as to how soon that end will come, most countries are making their way back to normal; borders are reopened, and social restrictions lifted for the sake of economic revival. Hong Kong is caught in a conundrum where its Covid regime seems neither here nor there—not stringent enough for reopening to the mainland and too stringent for reconnecting to the world. A policy breakthrough is needed otherwise the city risks losing its vibrancy and international competitiveness. Hence the newly relaxed “0+3” requirement for inbound visitors is a much-welcomed step forward. But is it enough? Is an endgame in sight?

This book is a graduation present (at least a belated one) from us, the editors and the department to you.
We all know OUR programme is ending, but it does not mean we must say farewell in tears. This book is our more fun way of recording the growth and progress that we have all been through together. In this book, you will find your stories re-imagined in the different chapters. We follow BA(LSE) as if it was a person on an adventure to the end.
Feel free to go through the book by skipping to the chapter you like. Or you could start from the beginning, where you will experience the memories of the programme from the beginning to the end. We hope you enjoy this memory book!
