I think education and trying to encourage people to keep noise levels down is far better than legislation and fixed penalties,\u201d Colin told presenters Danny Gittings and Mike Rowse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted the proposed legislation targeted a specific group of citizens and asked: \u201cIs there really a significant problem here?\u201d As for the suggestion that the fixed penalties \u2013 set at HK$10,000 \u201cto enhance the deterrent effect\u201d, according to the government \u2013 could be extended to domestic premises, Colin thought this would be difficult to enforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added: \u201cOf course, the major noise issue in Hong Kong is construction, this is what really affects people\u2019s mental health. Obviously, you need old buildings to be knocked down and new ones constructed, but some sites, especially those operated by smaller firms, do not have effective noise barriers. The proposed legislation does not address construction work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from limiting the use of loudspeakers, the government is also proposing to relax restrictions on noise resulting from certain festivals, allowing activities held in places of public entertainment to continue after 11:00pm under specific conditions. It has launched a two-month <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epd.gov.hk\/epd\/english\/environmentinhk\/noise\/pub_consult\/nco_review.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">public consultation<\/a> on its proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colin\u2019s fellow guests on the programme were clinical psychologist Dr Quratulain Zaidi and events professional Robert Rogers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hong Kong, 15 August 2023: Education is more effective  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4540,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-55"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
