District Board Elections
6.
All District Officers report on electioneering activities by candidates. Worthy of note is a report by DO (Sham Shui Po)
that a senior official of the NCNA's Kowloon office told the
SSPDB chairman that he and his associates would campaign for an
incumbent DB member whose opponent is one of the doyens of the pressure group political movement and, as such, an anathema to the Chinese communists in Hong Kong.
Emigration
1.
Contacts in Kwun Tong believe that unlike people who
emigrated in the early 1980s, those who were emigrating in the
mid-1980s are "unlikely to return to Hong Kong having regard to the
limited time left between now and 1997". Other contacts in Kwun
Tong were concerned that Hong Kong's economic prosperity would be
adversely affected in the 1990s when large numbers of middle class
professionals, who were often the most talented sector of the community, had left the territory. They said it was a sad reflection of what ordinary people actually felt towards a communist regime.
8.
A survey conducted by the Overseas Graduates Association
revealed that 75% of the 80% of its membership who indicated an
intention to emigrate also indicated that they would return to Hong Kong once they had acquired their foreign citizenship.
9.
DO (North) reports that five partners in a local business
are considering emigrating to Canada en masse, attracted by a
further relaxation of the Canadian immigration regulations which will permit a maximum of seven Hong Kong families to settle in
Canada as a group provided that (as a group) they are able to
invest (at least?) HK$5 million in Canada.
