[08:00] In the early stage of the fifth wave of the epidemic, there was a serious shortage of isolation facilities, and many confirmed cases had to be isolated at home. After that, the Hong Kong government opened a number of isolation facilities with assistance from the mainland, including the square cabins on the artificial island of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Hong Kong Port Hospital.

Consumption Vouchers|A total of 84,000 people reported lost Octopus in the second half of last year and the unused amount was transferred to the new card

[07:00] The first 5,000 yuan consumption coupons will be distributed on Thursday (7th). Since the maximum stored value of Octopus is 3,000 yuan, citizens must tap the card multiple times to receive the full amount.

There are suggestions to increase the upper limit of the stored value of Octopus so that the public can collect consumption coupons.

The government finally gave a detailed explanation a few days ago. Director of the Budget and Tax Policy Unit, Wang Xueling, said that he was worried that after the increase in the stored value, the loss of the Octopus would be even higher. "Octopus is not designed to give away coupons." It takes a long time to test the system, which involves the linked merchants and the place to collect the coupons, and revealed that the Octopus was raised to a cap of $3,000 last year, and the processing time would take more than a year.

Citizens blame the Octopus Company for failing to increase the stored value, which can be described as "the great unjust case of the century".

As the HKMA's Payment Systems and Stored Value Facilities Ordinance specifies the Octopus-like card, the maximum stored value is $3,000.
