Food Safety

142.     Local and overseas food incidents in recent years have aroused public concern.  Since 2004, the Government has introduced or revised 12 food safety laws, including the new Food Safety Ordinance, which can help trace the source of problem food.  In the coming year, we will improve our food safety system and standards by enacting legislation to regulate the import of high risk food and the amount of pesticide residues in food.  We will continue to perform our gate-keeping role effectively.

Art and Culture

143.     To tie in with the development of the West Kowloon Cultural District, the Government has made continuous efforts to develop programmes, build audience base, promote art education and nurture talent.  To attract patronage, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) will use new technology and innovative presentation methods in the exhibitions on the Private Paradise of Emperor Qianlong and the treasures of the First Emperor of China to be held next year.  Apart from the establishment of a Bruce Lee Gallery in the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, the LCSD plans to renew the permanent exhibitions of a number of museums to build a broader audience base.
