Summary
A thematic anti-terrorism education exhibition opened on October 24 at the Hong Kong Museum of History in Tsim Sha Tsui, organised by the Inter-departmental Counter-Terrorism Unit. Officiating at the opening, Secretary for Security Chris Tang Ping-keung (鄧炳強) said the exhibition uses images, text, exhibits, multimedia and interactive experiences to help the public understand terrorism, global counter-terrorism trends and Hong Kong’s response strategy. He said terrorism knows no borders and Hong Kong must stay vigilant by strengthening prevention, preparedness, response and recovery capabilities across the board. The exhibition also sits next to the National Security Exhibition Gallery, which Tang said helps the public see that national security and counter-terrorism are closely linked
Key Points
- The opening ceremony was attended by Commissioner of Police Joe Chow Yat-ming (周一鳴) and National Security Committee Secretary-General Sonny Au Chi-kwong (區志光), alongside Tang.
- Organisers said the exhibition introduces the Hong Kong National Security Law, court-handled national security cases, local counter-terrorism strategy and bomb disposal equipment.
- Tang repeated four public messages: report suspicious people or activities immediately, avoid touching suspicious packages, and remember escape, hide and seek help during attacks.
- Sing Tao reported Tang framed the advice as “report suspicious signs immediately”, “beware of deception”, “run, hide, tell”, and “everyone has a role”
- Student visitors quoted by local media said the game-based and case-based displays made counter-terrorism feel relevant to daily life and easier to understand.
Why It Matters
For Hong Kong residents, the exhibition turns official security messaging into practical public guidance on what to notice and how to react in a crisis. By linking legal cases, equipment displays and interactive education in one venue, the programme also broadens counter-terrorism awareness beyond law enforcement circles into schools and the wider community.
