(香港，二零一九年八月十六日) 《逃犯條例》修訂草案自六月起引發連串爭議和衝突，並且愈演愈烈。香港工程師學會理事會 (下稱學會理事會) 對現況發展感到十分憂慮，亦擔心社會繼續撕裂。學會理事會反對任何形式的暴力，為使社會及早回復秩序，呼籲社會各界盡快為事情降溫。

學會理事會關注社會氣氛已經影響民生各個範疇，市民平日上班憂慮港鐵運作被阻，乘車或駕車遇到堵路大塞車，出國旅行或公幹面對機場運作被阻影響航班，社會不能正常運作。這個地方已經變成我們不認識的香港。遊客卻步、商户停業，數百萬市民生活在不安中。暴力和破壞造成人與人之間的分歧，家庭成員和朋友意見相左，使人低沉抑鬱。我們理解大部分香港市民都希望以和平方法表達訴求，也見到緊守崗位的公職人員在過去一段時間的付出，而暴力和破壞只會令社會亂象橫生。

政府應繼續主動聯繫社會各界，共同努力修補各方關係。

香港已經滿目瘡痍，我們必須痛定思痛，盡快止住亂局，帶動社會修補裂痕，共同向前。香港七百多萬市民應當攜手協力，為我們自己，也為下一代，同心同德地遏止所有暴力和亂象，共同建設一個更美好的香港！

(Hong Kong, 16 August 2019) Since June 2019, the proposed Extradition Bill has led to a spate of disputes and conflicts which has intensified in the past few weeks. The Council of The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE Council) is gravely disheartened and concerned about the current situation and further dissension in the society. The HKIE Council opposes violence of any kind and urges all parties to work together to ease off the current tensions as quickly as possible for the sake of early restoration of good order.

The HKIE Council is concerned that the current atmosphere in society has affected all aspects of life in Hong Kong. Citizens going to work are worried about the disruption of the railway service; road users are worried about traffic jams due to road blockades; business and leisure travellers are also anxious that their flights may be affected due to disruption of airport operations. Normal operation of society has been interfered. This is no longer the Hong Kong that we know. Tourists step back; shops are closed; and millions of citizens are living in anxiety. Divisiveness in society springs from violence and disruption, resulting in conflict of opinions among friends and family members. All these cause people to feel depressed. We understand that the majority of Hong Kong people wish to express their views peacefully. We have also seen civil servants who religiously carry out their duties with perseverance and commitment. Disruption and violence will only lead to a chaotic society.

The Government should continue to take the initiative to communicate with all sectors of the community, and all sectors should join hands together to work towards reconciliation.

Looking at the ravaged city of Hong Kong, we should learn from the experience and put an end to the chaos as soon as possible, as well as fix social rifts and take our society forward. We, as with over seven million people of Hong Kong, should work together, for ourselves and for our future generations, to end all the violence and social unrest, and to strive for a better Hong Kong.

(30 May 2019, Hong Kong) With regard to the recent hearing of the Commission of Inquiry into the Construction Works at and near the Hung Hom Station Extension under the Shatin to Central Link Project, a Message to Members (“Message”) by Ir Ringo S M YU, the President of The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) was delivered to all members of the HKIE on 30 May 2019. The following is the Message:

Dear members,

You might be aware that the extended hearing of the Commission of Inquiry on the project of Hung Hom Station Extension Work had commenced on Monday, 27 May 2019.

I shall keep a close watch on the development and where there are issues causing extensive public concerns, I shall issue statements that would represent what the engineering profession considers correct either to echo the public’s concern or to disquiet those unconstructive and misconceived speculations.

I also wish to reiterate that the Institution will take disciplinary actions against those members that had been found professionally misbehaved. The Institution shall remain unbiased serving both the community and the profession.

Ir Ringo S M YU
President
The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers

(香港，二零一九年五月二日) 因應有會員要求召開特別會員大會，香港工程師學會 (下稱「學會」) 繼三月二十八日及四月四日發出新聞稿後，現交代有關進度及安排。

學會理事會以積極、正面的態度處理會員提出的要求，包括指示學會秘書處向要求召開會議的會員提供協助、委託法律顧問釐清會章相關條文等，希望令特別會員大會能盡早召開。負責處理是次特別會員大會事宜的學會前任會長黃耀新工程師指出，自從受理事會委託後，他已根據會章要求，立即展開相關籌備工作。

黃耀新指出，根據會章第二十五條，任何六十名法定會員可要求理事會召開特別會員大會。正如早前於四月四日發出的新聞稿中提及，理事會務求令特別會員大會可合乎會章規定程序舉行，已指示秘書處透過電郵向提出召開會議的會員釐清他們所提出的議程內容，同時核實其會員身份，以符合最少六十名法定會員要求召開會議的門檻。

黃表示，在確保會議得以符合會議程序舉行的前提下，秘書處自二月中已努力與相關會員溝通，包括指出如委任代表處理是次會議的各種行政程序，可省減溝通的時間；並就討論事項提供文書支援，目的是令所有會員清楚理解議程及作出表決。

然而，秘書處現時只獲十數名相關會員回覆，反應未見積極。為免事情受到拖延，黃耀新將會向理事會建議，相關會員就會議議程的意見須於五月十五日或之前回覆。

黃預計，議程確定後，根據會章第二十五條，需要召開理事會通過特別會員大會議程、提交會議文件、物色場地等，需時約六星期，即六月下旬完成以上安排。根據會章第二十六條要求，任何會員大會均需在會議召開前二十八日通知會員，因此特別會員大會預計於七月下旬召開。

(Hong Kong, 2 May 2019) Concerning the requisition for a Special General Meeting (SGM) by some members, The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) issued press releases on 28 March and 4 April, and would like to give a brief account on the progress and the arrangement of the SGM.

The Council of the Institution holds a positive attitude in handling requests from Members. With a view to facilitate the convening of the SGM, the Council directed the Secretariat of the Institution to provide necessary assistance to the Members who raised the requisition for the SGM, and consulted the legal advisor in clarifying the related Articles of the HKIE Constitution. Past President Ir Peter Y Wong pointed out that since his appointment by the Council to handle all the procedures and arrangements for the SGM, he had immediately started the preparatory work in accordance with the Constitution of the HKIE.

Ir Peter Y Wong added that according to Article 25 of the Constitution, an SGM may be convened by the Council on the requisition of any 60 Corporate Members of the Institution. As stated in the Institution’s press release dated 4 April 2019, the Council has directed the Secretariat to clarify via email with the requisitionists for the SGM on their proposed agenda and process the authentication of membership status in order to ascertain that the criteria of having at least 60 Corporate Members for the said requisition has met in accordance with the Constitution.

Ir Wong said that to ensure procedural compliance of the SGM, the Secretariat has made great efforts to communicate with the Members since mid-February, and had drawn their attention that appointing representative in regard to the SGM requisition could help reduce the time that is required for communication and administration arrangements. The Secretariat has also been providing clerical assistance on the preparation of the agenda that should be capable of reaching a resolution at the SGM.

Unfortunately, the Secretariat has by far received less than 20 responses from the Members. To avoid delay on the subject matter, Ir Wong will propose to the Council that the Members should return their views with regard to the agenda by 15 May 2019. Ir Wong anticipated that upon confirmation of the agenda among requisitionists, the agenda shall be passed at a Council Meeting according to Article 25 and that it would take approximately 6 weeks from now up to end of June to submit the meeting documents and identify a venue for the meeting. As required by Article 26 of the Constitution, 28 days’ notice has to be given to members for Annual or Special General Meeting, and it is therefore expected that the SGM will be held in late July.
