Adjustment in ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations in December 2024
The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) today (November 25) announced an adjustment to the auto-LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations from December 1 to December 31, 2024, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts for dedicated LPG filling stations.
A department spokesman said that the adjustment on December 1, 2024, would reflect the movement of the LPG international price in November 2024. The adjusted auto-LPG ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations would range from $3.74 to $4.64 per litre, amounting to an increase of $0.03 to $0.04 per litre.
The spokesman said that the auto-LPG ceiling prices were adjusted according to a pricing formula specified in the contracts. The formula comprises two elements - the LPG international price and the LPG operating price. The LPG international price refers to the LPG international price of the preceding month. The LPG operating price is adjusted on February 1 and June 1 annually according to the average movement of the Composite Consumer Price Index and the Nominal Wage Index.
The auto-LPG ceiling prices for respective dedicated LPG filling stations in December 2024 are as follows:

Civil Aid Service holds Foot Drill Competition 2024
The Civil Aid Service (CAS) held the Foot Drill Competition 2024 at its headquarters today (November 24). The competition was officiated by the Under Secretary for Security, Mr Michael Cheuk.
About 340 CAS members forming into 27 teams participated in the competition this year. Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Cheuk praised the contestants for their demonstration of a long period of rigorous training in the competition. He also commended the excellent performance by the CAS to protect lives and property of members of the public during Typhoon Yagi and Toraji striking Hong Kong, and thanked them for their diligent participation in the stress tests of the Kai Tak Sports Park to ensure the safety and order of public activities.
The CAS fully adopted the Chinese-style foot drill in 2022, and this is the second year for the CAS to hold the Foot Drill Competition with this specification, towards enhancing CAS members' sense of belonging to the country, and strengthening their national identity.
In addition, the CAS has been expanding the work of national education promotion, including the organisation of cultural exchange activities with the Mainland, flag-raising ceremonies, the Safeguarding National Security Cup competition, and establishing the National Security Education Exhibition Centre at its headquarters. These events not only strengthen CAS members' sense of national identity, but also cultivate their sense of civic responsibility, self-discipline and team spirit.
Recruitment of CAS members is open for application throughout the year. Recruitment details and application forms are available on the CAS website (www.cas.gov.hk).
