Entry 1 general framework for reflective journal entries by Tom IP 

What I have learned: 

In the previous lessons, I have leant how to engage in our community by different means such as writing letter to the editor/ other related staekeholders, request information under the code of access to information. Throguh the cases provided by Dr. Wang, we can see that those means do have their functions even though it may take longer time. It is very impressive that some department would respond to Dr. Wang's letter to the Editor and that the department would take some cases more seriously if complaints were sent to the Ombudsman. 

The thinking model of six thinking hats is also very useful. It guided my thinking and helped me to investigate different issues more comprehensively. For example, when I draft my proposal and read some newspaper articles, I would identify the facts, solutions, difficulties etc. Moreover, through reading so many pieces of letter to the editor, I understand how to construct a good letter and form sound argument, for example, we have to add a clear thesis statement which could summarise all the main points then conclude with prospects.

I was investigating the problems related to solar-powered lighting along Ng Tung river. I found a 2012 newsletter on this matter https://www.emsd.gov.hk/minisites/voice/en/issue27/p7c.pdf  
Then I found this newsletter VoiceLink from Electrical and Mechanical Services Department: https://www.emsd.gov.hk/en/publications/customer_newsletters/  I think we should subscribe this and identify issues that can be further pursued.  The latest issue: https://www.emsd.gov.hk/minisites/voice/en/issue55/index.html  

Here is one piece from the latest issue of VoiceLink: Introduction of Information-secured Online Interview System
