Possible goodbye soon to low fuel surcharges from Hong Kong?

Source:
CAD announces new display requirements for ticket prices at airlines' direct sales outlets and arrangements for fuel surcharges


Summary:
1) All airlines selling tickets originating from Hong Kong has to display total "must pay" price including the fuel surcharge and tax
2) All optional charges/services (e.g. baggage for LCC, paid seat selection, insurance, etc.) can only be offered on an opt-in basis
3) After 1/Nov, airlines can decide their own fuel surcharge

The (1) and (2) point is definitely a plus, yet for point (3)...
It is publicly known that award tickets departing from Hong Kong are at good bargain given the low fuel surcharge, now may no longer be the case..
