當年今日，直至現在，七月七日都是大日子。不論是在民族層面、社會角度或是個人經歷，七七已經變成一個反思的日子。香港民研自從宣布了七月重新定位後，很多傳媒和朋友都希望知道更多。今天，我在此向大家匯報一下最新發展，但很多改變仍待公布。首先，香港民研繼續透過公開的「股東承諾」和「公司便覽」，確認自己是一所非牟利「公民社會良心企業」，成立目的在於推廣和發展各項研究工作，促進香港社會及全球社區的成長。民研已經制訂了反洗黑錢政策、連同各項數據保密政策和專業守則，操作會更加安全。其次，民研已經開始密集發放第二代「民情指數」，展示二次數據開發的應用。至於大眾關心的減產和減放問題，現時已經進入最後審議階段，日內會有公布。請留意民研網頁平台的各個欄目，包括「民研快訊」和「鍾言亦議」。
Double-seven is an important day, now or in history. Be it on ethnic, social or personal level, it has become a day for reflections. After HKPORI announced our re-positioning in July, many media and friends have wanted to know more. Let me report here our latest development, but many changes are yet to be announced. Firstly, we have reaffirmed ourselves to be a non-profit “civic society conscience enterprise” through our “shareholder’s pledge” and “company fact sheet”. We are established to promote and develop research, which would facilitate the growth of Hong Kong society and the global community. We have already formulated an anti-money laundering policy. Together with our data protection policies and professional codes of conduct, our operation is getting safer. Secondly, in the area of secondary data analysis, we have already started to release frequently our second generation of “Public Sentiment Index”. As for the public’s concern on the reduction of our research and public releases, we are now in the final stage of deliberation, and will announce it very soon. Please pay attention to the various online columns in our PORI website, including “PORI Express” and “Chung’s Blunt Words”.
