    Notices by building management - any law for them to be bilingual?

    Could not find this on my initial limited web search but is there any law in HK that requires public notices in buildings by the building management to be bi-lingual?

    No.

    But you can search Hong Kong's legislation if you so desire.

    English

    Write to the Management Company, to provide you with the English translation.

    Yes thanks. I can always ask others what they mean. But I wanted to know if there is anything forcing these notices to be bilingual by default.
