Since the inaugural poll in 1998, Top Ten SAR Government Policy Initiatives has grown from a relatively small civic activity to a magnificant event that can be supported and avidly followed by all walks of life. This year, over 400 guests were treated to a special video compilation of the top ten government policy initiatives of 2014 as they reviewed the past and looked forward to the future.

Now in its 17th iteration, the Top Ten SAR Government Policy Initiatives poll has enjoyed good success in rallying Hong Kong media behind a common cause. Collectively, its annual policy initiative selections have formed a key chronicle of “One Country, Two Systems” from introduction to exploration to full implementation. In the process, the event has helped bridge the government and citizenry of Hong Kong and made a useful contribution to a better future for the city and the motherland.
