Regarding the display of publicity materials

By the authorities’ decree, all display of publicity materials within public premises (eg. Banners, posters and on street railings and road signs) require official permission from the Lands Department. Should any student organization fails to comply, all unauthorized publicity materials found within public areas will be removed by officers from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department of Hong Kong. In addition, the student organization involved will bear legal liabilities from their actions and may as a result be subject to payments for the costs of removing those found materials.
