Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor introduced ten 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.

A newspaper quoted news today (20th) saying that members of the Executive Council believed that the annual expenditure derived from the measures amounted to tens of billions of dollars and there was no economic benefit, and there was great resistance to the implementation of the policy.

The Pakatan Rakyat Liang Meifen was shocked by the indefinite implementation of the plan and believed that measures should not be viewed from an economic perspective.

She said that the administrative law has the concept of "reasonable expectations." If the chief officials including the chief executive publicly promise a policy, the citizens have reasonable expectations.

She reminded the government that if it does not introduce a policy, it may face judicial review.

Mak Meijuan, a member of the Legislative Council of the Federation of Trade Unions, said that political parties have been fighting for the expansion of ride concessions from the authorities for many years. Issues such as abuse, additional expenses, and economic benefits have long been discussed and are not new. The guild members who questioned the measures were " Enemy with the people".

Mai Meijuan believed that when the government introduced the measures in January, the surplus of the warehouse was still sufficient. "We talked about the closure of Pakistan that day." This was only the case when the economy deteriorated after the epidemic.

Mai Meijuan was dissatisfied that the chief executive should have "exaggerated" before announcing the measures. The public will also have reasonable expectations that the authorities must go to the horse as scheduled.

He also pointed out that the measures have not been implemented for a long time. The Secretary for Labour and Welfare Law Chi-kwong explained that it takes time to implement the Octopus real-name system. "The Secretary has nothing to do."

For the ten livelihood measures announced by Carrie Lam that day, Mak Mei-juan sighed that "some of them are all different." For example, the original plan to provide the unemployed with a time-limited cash allowance was changed to the eligible working family allowance (work allowance) households. And student financial assistance households will provide a one-off special allowance.

"Subdivided housing" rental control has also been under study, only the noise of stairs is heard.
