ROLE Ambassador award ceremony and sharing session held today  
     Delivering his opening remarks at the event, the Secretary for Justice, Mr Paul Lam, SC, said that today marked an important milestone of the TTL Programme. The 40 ROLE Ambassadors represented the first batch of trainees that completed all the training courses under the TTL Programme since it was launched in November 2023, and also symbolised the beginning of a new stage. Mr Lam emphasised that the key to maintaining Hong Kong’s sound rule of law environment is to cultivate public understanding of the principles of the rule of law and to enhance the public’s basic understanding of Hong Kong’s common law system. He encouraged the ROLE Ambassadors to become dedicated advocates for promoting the rule of law in Hong Kong by passing on the knowledge and experience they gained from the TTL Programme to others in ways that are appropriate to their respective capacities and positions.
 
     Four trainees representing the participating youth uniformed group, district youth committee, secondary school teachers and the Education University of Hong Kong shared their thoughts and experience of becoming ROLE Ambassadors. They said that the courses had deepened their knowledge of the rule of law and boosted their confidence in disseminating messages about the rule of law. They had concrete plans to apply what they had learned in the courses to promote correct information about the rule of law and cultivate the spirit of respecting the rule of law in schools and the community.
 
     Mr Lam; the Deputy Secretary for Justice, Dr Cheung Kwok-kwan; the Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung; the Chairperson of the Executive Committee of SideBySide, Mr Justice Poon Siu-tung; and the Under Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Mr Clarence Leung, later presented the trainees with certificates and badges of ROLE Ambassadors at the certificate presentation ceremony, commending the trainees’ continuous participation and completion of all the courses under the TTL Programme, and their efforts in actively promoting the rule of law across various sectors within the community.
 
     With the support of the Steering Committee on Rule of Law Education, the TTL Programme was officially launched by the DoJ in November 2023 and consists of three stages of courses: the foundation course, advanced course and extended course. The fourth phase of TTL Programme will be held this year. To promote continual participation in and completion of all courses under the TTL Programme and encourage proactive organisation or participation in activities for promoting the rule of law, the DoJ has launched the ROLE Ambassador recognition scheme to recognise and commend trainees who strive to enhance their knowledge of the rule of law and actively promote information of the rule of law in different sectors of the community, and to encourage the trainees to continue to fulfill their mission of promoting the rule of law.
 
     As at end 2025, a total of about 380 trainees participated in the TTL Programme, including representatives from youth and community work organisations, as well as secondary school teachers and students from the Education University of Hong Kong. Among them, 40 have completed all three stages of courses, thereby qualifying as the first batch of ROLE Ambassadors under the TTL Programme.
 
     The qualification of ROLE Ambassador will be valid for two years, which aims to encourage Ambassadors to continue to participate in the DoJ’s rule of law education activities and to actively organise rule of law promotion activities during the period in order to obtain a renewal of the qualification. The DoJ will keep close contact and build partnerships with the trainees and ROLE Ambassadors to provide timely assistance and support. The DoJ will also continue to collaborate closely with relevant government departments and community stakeholders to promote rule of law education through diverse means and enhance the public’s understanding and practice of the rule of law.

More than 1 100 students experience building spectacular horticultural display for Hong Kong Flower Show  
     During the activity, the students assembled the display using a variety of richly coloured flowers of various species, including stocks, carnations, myosotis, chrysanthemums, lavender, pansies, impatiens and more, creating a multihued scene.
 
     The intricately crafted display, made of cut flowers, showcases a historic tramcar, known as the “Ding Ding”, symbolically guiding visitors through the city’s bustling streets and old neighbourhoods. Along the route, visitors can appreciate the dynamic blend of the city’s past and present through iconic landmarks such as the stately Court of Final Appeal Building, the Hong Kong Observation Wheel overlooking Victoria Harbour, and the Bank of China Tower located in the city’s financial hub.
 
     Enriching the display are scenes of local culture and traditions, from the thrilling atmosphere of horse racing at the Happy Valley Racecourse to the vibrant celebrations of the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance. Repulse Bay is also highlighted in the display. The beach-inspired design features plant sculptures of a playful duck-shaped float, a beach ball, a sand bucket, a sand shovel and more, creating a comfortable and relaxing ambience.
 
     After the student experience session, work on the “Floral Trail of the Island” display will continue. Embellished with about 44 000 flowers and plants, the display will be one of the main garden features at this year’s flower show. Visitors can appreciate the display and take photos with the plant sculptures. Illustrating different styles of day and night, the display is enhanced with light effects in the evening, showcasing the unique charm of a city where East meets West and old blends with new, amid floral fragrances in the air.
 
     This year’s flower show will be held at Victoria Park for 10 days from March 20 to 29, running from 9am to 9pm daily, featuring the elegant stock as its theme flower under the theme “A Fragrant Journey through Hong Kong”.
