Rumor has it that the government has extended a 2 yuan car discount. Zheng Yongshun: Never accept Hu Zhiwei’s "remaining off the ground"

2020-10-23T02:39:57.906Z


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. Recently, some newspapers pointed out that some 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. The government intends to postpone the implementation until the end of next year as soon as possible. The DAB Legislative Council Member Cheng Yongshun stated on the RTHK program "Millenniums" that the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Law Chi-kwong, promised in July that the plan could be implemented by the end of this year. If it is to be postponed now, it is "unacceptable." "He was angry and said that he received many complaints from the citizens in the district. He believed that if the government delayed on the grounds that it involved huge expenditures, it should not apply to the Legislative Council for additional government posts to reduce regular expenditure. The convener of the democratic party meeting and chairman of the Democratic Party, Hu Zhiwei, said that this incident reflects the government's "sufficient wealth and injustice". He believes that if the government rejects this cross-party support measure, it reflects that the government "stays away from the ground." He also questioned whether the plan would impose a heavy burden on the government, believing that compared with some "big white elephant projects," the related expenditures are only insignificant.

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.

Recently, some newspapers pointed out that some 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. The government intends to postpone the implementation until the end of next year as soon as possible.

The DAB Legislative Council Member Cheng Yongshun stated on the RTHK program "Millenniums" that the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Law Chi-kwong, promised in July that the plan could be implemented by the end of this year. If it is to be postponed now, it is "unacceptable." "He was angry and said that he received many complaints from the citizens in the district. He believed that if the government delayed on the grounds that it involved huge expenditures, it should not apply to the Legislative Council for additional government posts to reduce regular expenditure.

The convener of the democratic party meeting and the chairman of the Democratic Party, Hu Zhiwei, said that this incident reflects that the government is "unwilling to give up good money," and believes that if the government rejects this cross-party support measure, it reflects that the government "stays away from the ground."

He also questioned whether the plan would impose a heavy burden on the government, believing that compared to some "big white elephant projects," the related expenditures are only insignificant.

Zheng Yongshun said that Luo Zhiguang explained that the elderly Octopus had abused in the July meeting, so it could not be implemented in time, but he thinks that the real-name Octopus can be solved, and the two yuan car discount can also encourage citizens to travel and find employment. If there are more The public can also use transportation to stabilize fares.

Mai Meijuan: If the government shelved it is irresponsible, it should be clarified as soon as possible

Mak Mei-juan, a member of the Legislative Council of the Federation of Trade Unions, said on the same program that the government should clarify whether the relevant report is true as soon as possible, but it is unwise to make people complain.

She pointed out that in 2013, it was suggested that the government should lower the threshold of the two yuan ride concession. It is unacceptable to delay the implementation date.

Mai Meijuan emphasized that it would be irresponsible for the government to shelve the measures it has promised to introduce on the grounds that the future income of the Treasury will be reduced. It reflects that "the government has no confidence in its own ability and its inability to revive the economy." It doesn’t mean that you don’t have to count.” He asked again why the two rounds of job protection schemes spent tens of billions of dollars.

Mai Meijuan said that the government should clarify as soon as possible whether the report is true, but it is unwise to make people complain.
