The Federation for the Stability of Hong Kong (Chinese: 穩定香港協會, abbreviated 穩港協; FSHK) was a pro-Beijing rural political group representing the interests of the New Territories indigenous inhabitants active in the 1990s.

## History

[edit]

The Federation was incorporated on 16 May 1991,[1] consisting of a number prominent rural leaders such as Chan Yat-sen as the Chairman and Lau Wong-fat as the Vice-Chairman,[2] both had been the Chairmen of the Heung Yee Kuk. Cheung Yan-lung, another leader of the Heung Yee Kuk and Chairman of the Regional Council of Hong Kong was also Vice-Chairman of the Federation.[3] Two other Vice-Chairmen included Lee Lin-sang, the chairman of the New Territories Association of Societies and Lau Sam-po, chairman of the New Territories Federation of Industries.[4] Members included also the Hong Kong Affairs Advisers, District Affairs Advisers, National People's Congress deputies and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference members.[5] It held three seats in the Legislative Council of Hong Kong after the 1991 general election, including Tai Chin-wah, Gilbert Leung and Lau Wong-fat.

Gilbert Leung and Lau Wong-fat joined the Co-operative Resources Centre launched by the pro-business faction in the Legislative Council in December 1991, which later transformed into the Liberal Party. After the creation of the pro-democracy Democratic Party in April 1994, the Federation formed coalition with other pro-Beijing groups by setting up a joint meeting with the Hong Kong Chinese Reform Association and the New Hong Kong Alliance.[6] Members of the groups later on formed the 52-member new political party Hong Kong Progressive Alliance in April 1994.[7]

The Federation became inactive since then. It was dissolved on 4 June 2010.[1]
