Policy Address｜Ye Liu recruits to encourage childbirth, the New Democratic Party advocates 20,000 yuan to subsidize families with newborn babies

The New Democrats today (19th) put forward a proposal on the "Policy Address", with the theme "Promote the return of the people, Hong Kong will be brighter". It is hoped that the government's policy can strengthen Hong Kong people's national identity and increase land supply to alleviate public grievances.

She believes that the SAR government should re-examine all the options discussed in the past, including the development of ancestral halls, border areas of country parks, release of green belts and wetland buffer zones, and urge the SAR government to do its best to consider all options.

The New Democrats also recommend that the SAR government encourage childbirth and strengthen support measures, such as childcare and after-school support services. It also recommends that the government distribute 20,000 yuan in cash to parents of newborn babies to encourage more families to have children.

Ip Liu also advocated that the Hong Kong Government implement profit control on the future development of residential property projects by the MTR, and asked the MTR to hand over part of the superstructure to the government for the development of public housing.

Seize the golden opportunity to implement various policies to solve the land problem

When she released her recommendations in the Policy Address today, Suk-yee Ip pointed out that it is now a good time for the government to implement various policies that are conducive to people's livelihood, because the Legislative Council no longer has non-establishment "rabs" to paralyse governance, and efficiency has increased significantly. She called on the Hong Kong government to seize the opportunity. The "draft" reforms will solve Hong Kong's major social problems as soon as possible.

Ye Liu pointed out that the most serious social problem at present is the backward land supply, which seriously hinders the development of public and private housing. In addition to thinking about the land search plan, she also suggested that Ye Liu consider making good use of the "Land Resumption Ordinance" and passing the "Land Sharing Pilot Program". Such plans promote public-private cooperation and urge the SAR government to do its best to consider all plans.

Dissatisfied with MTR becoming a real estate developer should regulate its operating model

Suk-yee Ip pointed out that the MTR Corporation, as a public transport service provider, is sitting on a large number of properties on railway stations and has made huge profits over the years. She is extremely dissatisfied with this and believes that the MTR operating mode should be regulated.

She suggested that the SAR government implement profit control on residential property projects developed by MTR in the future, and set a ceiling for development projects. Once the estimated profit exceeds a certain percentage, the remaining profit should not just share dividends with the government as it does today, and MTR should be required. Part of the superstructure will be handed over to the SAR government for public housing.

Promote population policy reforms and strengthen childcare and after-school support services

Rong Haien pointed out that in order to combat the problem of population ageing, the SAR government should encourage births, but in reality, Hong Kong's fertility rate has been low for a long time, and the government should use policies to increase the desire of Hong Kong people to have children.

The government can strengthen various support measures, such as childcare and after-school support services, increase child tax allowances, and provide tax allowances to families that hire foreign domestic helpers, so as to reduce the pressure on families with children.

It is also recommended that the government refer to Singapore and distribute 20,000 yuan in cash to parents of newborn babies to encourage more families to give birth.

Dissatisfied with the West Kowloon Cultural Administration overspending and criticizing the design of Xiqu Center is unrealistic

When asked if she would be worried about the continued overspending of the West Kowloon Cultural District, Ip said she was extremely worried. It is estimated that the funding for the Legislative Council has been exhausted.

She said that the recurring expenditure for the development of cultural districts is huge, and there are only "good hardware" but not humane. Taking the Xiqu Center as an example, the rent is extremely expensive, but the design is unrealistic, and even basic functions such as toilets and food supply are not enough. .

She said this reflects management problems.

New Democrat Party Legislative Council Member Rong Haien added that recently, many people from the West Kowloon Cultural District have left their posts, which raises doubts about management problems. They are also worried that various cultural projects such as museums will continue to be postponed in the future.

Ip Liu Shuyi: Educational problems in Hong Kong will make young people "return to the hearts of the people" again

The New Democrat Party Chairman Ye Liu Shuyi described that the content of the new high school curriculum has been "de-sinicized" in the past, which has prevented Hong Kong youth from knowing China and their sense of national identity is very low.

In order to straighten out the relationship between China and Hong Kong, it is necessary to strengthen the identity of all Hong Kong people, especially young people, in the future. It is hoped that the government will reform the education curriculum and reshape the values ​​of Hong Kong people.

The SAR government should strive to strengthen Hong Kong people’s recognition of the country, alleviate the contradictions between China and Hong Kong, so that Hong Kong can more smoothly integrate into the country’s development.
