Ngai jong
Ngai jong is a student activity in some universities in Hong Kong. Ngai (嗌) means shout, while jong (莊) refers to the executive committee of a college, department or society under the university's students' union.
Student societies in Hong Kong are typically led by an executive committee (jong), charged with organising student activities, providing welfare to students and representing students in their faculty, department, or college. These committees are typically constituted through elections, which are contested by slates of candidates running on the same platform, known as proposed or nominated cabinets. During the election period, often known as "promotion period", proposed cabinets will campaign for votes, with ngai jong sometimes being part of that process.
When proposed cabinets ngai jong, all members stand together and shout slogans, their full title (known as 'full address"), polling dates or sing songs to promote themselves. They also wear eye-catching costumes in order to stand out from other cabinets. A rule is that students can use only their own voice and body parts – microphones, drums, or loudspeakers are not allowed.
The activity is most common at the City University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and can also be found at Lingnan University, Education University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It is mostly unheard of at the University of Hong Kong.
The purpose of ngai jong is to promote the proposed cabinet. When the whole cabinet stands together and shouts slogans, people will see and listen to what they are doing. Also, their costumes will catch the eyes of pedestrians, including their basic members, so members will know the existence of this proposed cabinet and know when and how to vote.
When the whole cabinet shouts their slogans or full address, teammates will have a sense of belonging, as they are promoting the cabinet together, and teammates are wearing the same costume, which can unite the whole cabinet.
When cabinets ngai jong, they will shout slogans that introduce the cabinet, as well as slogans that include polling dates and venue.
Since ngai jong is a special cultural phenomenon of universities in Hong Kong, proposed cabinets will automatically do this as it is a part of the whole election.
