Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor introduced 10 livelihood measures at the beginning of the year, including reducing the eligible age for applying for a two-dollar car discount from 65 to 60.
However, recently there have been reports from political circles that some members of the Executive Council believe that the annual expenditure derived from the measures amounts to tens of billions of dollars, and there is no economic benefit, and there is great resistance to policy implementation.
Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor spoke for the first time before attending the guild this morning (27), saying that the relevant consultancy study is still in progress, and there is no withdrawal or shelving of the announced policy goals. However, it is difficult to finalize the timetable immediately because there are many complex issues that require Deal with matters such as finances, abuse of elder Octopus, etc.
Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor announced in January 2020 that the "2 yuan car discount" will be relaxed from 65 to 60.

Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor pointed out that the two-dollar ride concession has been widely welcomed by the public since it was launched, describing it as a "ethical government". She hopes that more people can benefit from the premise that the government can support it.
Since the news of the government’s ban on parking and easing of the $2 ride concession, the establishment has been bombarded for days. DAB Chairman Li Huiqiong expressed “extreme regret” over the news and urged the authorities to explain it as soon as possible. The Pakatan Rakyat Legislative Council Member Liang Meifen predicted that If the government does not introduce relevant policies, it may face judicial review.
However, Ye Liu Shuyi, chairman of the New Democrat Party, who is also a member of the guild, supports the authorities to stop the relaxation plan and quoted the Basic Law as saying that the Hong Kong government's budget should be within its means.
The Secretary of Labor and Welfare, Law Chi-kwong, recently "fighted the fire" in a radio program, emphasizing "Never have anything to do", but said that the government's financial situation is an important consideration because he did not anticipate the impact of the new crown epidemic when he proposed to expand the concessions in January this year. It is estimated that 300 billion yuan will be spent in response to the epidemic.
