Abstract
The service leadership model and related curriculum were developed by the Hong Kong Institute of Service Leadership and Management. To nurture service leadership qualities in university students, a 2-credit service leadership subject was developed at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. This paper presents the core beliefs and key components of the service leadership model and outlines the content of one of the lectures in the subject. The lecture attempts to help students recognize the importance of leadership competencies, moral character and caring disposition in successful leadership, and to explore ways to develop service leadership qualities. In addition to the lecture, class activities are adopted, including group discussion, role play, self-reflection, and drawing.
Acknowledgments
The service leadership research project at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University is financially supported by the Victor and William Fung Foundation.

News 1: Doctor has been suspended practice over misleading advertisements.
A doctor has been suspended for 8 months after the Medical Council found him guilty of making misleading claims over the promotion of beauty treatment. Michael Yam arrived at the Medical Council this afternoon for the verdict. Yam was found guilty of 16 counts of professional misconduct. The council heard that Yam helped establish local beauty centres, I-Sky Beauty as well as Medical and Phototherapy Beauty Centre. He actively helped to promote these centre services and products in magazines, radio programmes, leaflets, and advertisements between 2008 and 2010. The council found that the benefits of the promoted items were exaggerated and some were even false.

News 2: Cooking oil from Beidahuang company has been found containing cancer-causing substance.
Two samples of cooking oil taken from Beidahuang Oil and Fat (Hong Kong) Limited in Tuen Mun were found to contain the cancer-causing substance, benzopyrene. The level exceeds safety standards on the mainland and in the European Union. Beidahuang said they did not import the oil but was just doing the packaging for customers. Health authorities are trying to trace the source of cooking oil that has been found to contain the cancer-causing substance. Samples of the oil were taken from factories in Tuen Mun and Kwai Chung. But they obtained certification from the customer which showed that the oil is suitable for human consumption.
