The Arts Development Council stated that the Hong Kong Drama Awards Ceremony held in June last year was accused of being inappropriate. After in-depth investigation, it decided to reduce funding in late November last year. The HKADC responded that the organizer, the Hong Kong Drama Society, did not take the initiative to discuss with the bureau and deviated from previous award ceremony practices, including adding a new award ceremony theme and inviting awards guests from outside the cultural and arts circles.

The Hong Kong Arts Development Council released an excerpt of a formal reply to the Drama Association on the 12th of this month, mentioning that council members and government representatives expressed great concern about the theme, content, stage design of the award ceremony and the invitation of people from non-theatrical circles as award guests. , unlike in the past where senior theater industry veterans and well-known artists, government representatives, and bureau representatives were invited as award guests, the Drama Association invited current affairs cartoonist Zunzi, who was full of news topics at the time, and former Hong Kong and Taiwan reporter Cai Yuling as award guests.

In its reply, the Arts Development Council stated that the two hosts at that time used “red bridge” and “red line” as topics, which was intended to be a double entendre. If this method attracts the attention of the public and media and creates social topics, the Bureau cannot agree with it and must make a decisive decision to reduce funding to show that it is unacceptable.

The HKADC emphasizes that if fund recipients fulfill their responsibilities of prudent governance, decision-making and operation, ensure that funded projects are carried out in accordance with funding objectives, concepts, content, methods and expected results, and account to the government and the public regarding the use of public funds, the bureau will Never use overriding powers to reduce or cancel funding rashly.
