Chief Executive Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor published the last "policy address" in his tenure in October, and is now conducting consultations. Lam Cheng has received several establishment political parties to listen to their opinions. Among them, the DAB put forward a total of 89 recommendations, including striving for the "Eleventh" period. Customs clearance, development of New Territories North, reorganization of the government structure, etc. Among them, it is recommended to reorganize the Development Bureau and the Transport and Housing Bureau, and set up a Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau.
According to reports, among the DAB’s numerous proposals, Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor is particularly interested in the proposal to reorganize the government structure. She agrees that there is a need to split the Transportation and Housing Bureau, and also quoted someone who thinks that the Cultural Tourism Bureau can be developed.
However, all the changes involving the government structure affect the whole body, and they are measured in years. Lam Cheng's term of office is less than one year, and he is still very interested in reorganizing the government structure. Some participants described feeling that Lam Cheng intends to be re-elected and collect political parties. Opinions pave the way for the next term of office.

Agree that the Transport and Housing Bureau needs to be split
The DAB proposes to separate the Transportation and Housing Bureau and reorganize the Housing, Planning and Lands Bureau and the Transportation and Works Bureau with the Development Bureau.
According to reports, Lam Cheng specifically responded to the proposal to reorganize the government structure at the meeting. He hoped that the DAB would provide more opinions and quoted someone suggested to her that the Cultural Affairs Bureau should be established. It could be developed and merged with tourism, but it should not be related to sports of a different nature. The affairs were merged into one policy bureau.
As for the Development Bureau, some participants pointed out that Lam Cheng, who was the former Secretary of the Development Bureau, believed that the bureau had done a good job in finding land and was effective and could maintain an independent bureau. However, the Transport and Housing Bureau, which has been criticized for a long time and has a heavy workload, does not Need to split.
Lam Cheng said in 2018 that he generally agreed with the demolition of the Transport and Housing Bureau, but he was not eager to do so. At the end of last year, when Chief Secretary for Administration Zhang Jianzong responded to the oral question of the legislators, the current priority is to fight the epidemic.

The establishment refers to a clear heart for re-election
Some people in the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong said that the party has always believed that there is a need to reform the government structure, and after the election system has been improved, there is room to propose that even if the current government’s term of office is less than one year, or it is too late to complete the reform during the term of office, But we can do research first, and I believe it will be useful no matter who will be the chief executive in the next term.
The person said frankly that he was not surprised that Carrie Lam actively responded to the proposal to reform the government structure. Carrie Lam has been working hard in all aspects, and it is expected that he has shown his intention to be re-elected.
Another person in the private record stated that in July this year, Lam Cheng stated that the new "Policy Address" focuses on long-term planning, rather than just "meeting demands." I believe it will touch upon reviewing government departments, improving efficiency, and avoiding political outbursts. If Lam Cheng proposes to reorganize the government structure, it will probably be implemented next year. "She definitely wants to implement it herself?"
According to the analysis of the establishment, the current government has only 11 months remaining in office. Generally, there will be no major moves. The reorganization of the structure will also involve the next government. Regardless of whether Lam Cheng hopes the establishment to put forward more opinions, there is a chance in October. The policy address puts forward specific suggestions, and Lam Cheng's desire for re-election is quite obvious.
However, the person said that Beijing has not yet finalized the choice of the chief executive, how to reorganize the government, and the next chief executive has certain powers. When Liang Zhenying was appointed as chief executive, he proposed the reorganization plan of the "Five Divisions and Fourteen Bureaus" structure, but was eventually pulled. The cloth is worn down.
