The Hong Kong government often has no common sense, common sense and common sense when it comes to governance.


For example, the rodent eradication policy only focuses on rodent eradication. It costs an average of 10,000 mosquitoes to catch a mouse every year, but the most effective way to prevent rodent infestation is to dispose of the source - food waste.

The food waste policy does not cooperate, and spending billions to catch mice will not be effective.

Rats are bred in large numbers because Hong Kong has no specific food waste policy at all.

Why is there no specific food waste policy?

Because it is not the FEHD that is responsible for food waste, but the Environmental Protection Agency.

In the presence of a large amount of food waste, the increase of rats is inevitable, and no matter how to increase the manpower to eliminate rodents, it cannot be solved.

It is a pity that the Hong Kong government lacks common sense in discussing the issue, and only asks the Legislative Council to increase resources to catch mice.

There is no requirement to have a specific home and restaurant food waste policy.

It is very simple to set up food waste disposal centers in the 18 districts of Hong Kong. Find one or two places in each district.

Legislation should be made to control food waste from handing over food waste, creating an ecological chain, which can not only reduce rodent infestation, but also create greater economic benefits through food waste, and even use food waste to support agriculture.

Another example is that the number of cars is not properly managed. The Transport Department keeps asking for more car parks to be built. Hong Kong is full of small people, so there shouldn't be so many cars, and there are already good mass transportation means.

Is it also a waste of space for the government to build a large number of car parks?

The subdivided housing problem is not solved with common sense, and a so-called subdivided housing law cannot specifically solve the subdivided housing problem.

The problem of subdivided housing stems from the shortage of transitional housing. Why not learn from the colonial period and build temporary housing?

According to the annual progress report of the "Long Term Housing Strategy" released by the government at the end of last year, there are 127,100 households with poor living conditions in Hong Kong, of which 92,200 are subdivided housing households.

In addition, the big data policy has been discussed for almost ten years, but the government does not even have a big data infrastructure plan, nor does it have common sense or common sense.

Does the government have a specific big data legislation and build different types of data centers like the mainland to meet the needs of government governance?

Now the government departments are scrambling to engage in Facebook, scrambling to produce different applications (apps), and there are a lot of them related to the epidemic. How can you ask an old man to deal with so many apps?

In short, the Hong Kong government must return to having a common sense, common sense, and common sense in doing things, rather than going out of business.

To give another example, the Hong Kong Government Tree Office simply does not have a sufficient team of tree experts. How can we protect the big and old trees in Hong Kong?

Conserving trees is not only for aesthetics, but also for environmental protection and to cope with hot weather.

Big trees improve people's quality of life, but the government's propaganda often makes trees a dangerous thing. Is this also a lack of common sense and common sense?

In terms of transportation policy, does the excessive air pollution caused by automobiles also not meet the standards of green living?

The government promotes smart cities, but the planning of Hong Kong’s traffic lights is still the model of the 1990s. It cannot keep up with the needs of technology and urban management. It cannot handle the race for people and vehicles, and it cannot solve the traffic congestion caused by the use of a large number of buses on the road. .

The Hong Kong government spends about 1.7 billion yuan a year to manage hawkers, but why can't they manage hawkers in a systematic and large-scale way like Singapore and other Asian cities, and can't re-issue the licenses so that the lower classes in Hong Kong have a space to develop and live?

The traffic congestion problem in Kwun Tong has not been resolved for many years.

The first thing that Li Jiachao's new government should do is to use common sense to understand the problem.

Li Jiachao said that the quality of Hong Kong's civil servants is very high, but Hong Kong's policies are often not common sense. For example, a lot of money is spent on elevators on flyovers, and those elevators use a lot of glass. How to deal with the cost of maintenance and cleaning?

A large number of elevators appear, but the government does not have enough support to train technicians to maintain elevators, and elevator maintenance personnel are likely to have no successor.

This is precisely the consequence of the government's failure to plan with common sense.
