When asked about the specific number of CCTVs to increase, Cheuk Wing-hing admitted that there are currently more than 300 CCTVs in Hong Kong, which is not too many on average, but it is difficult to say how much it will increase at this stage. Since the announcement of the health blackspot plan, we have noticed that both citizens and the media are very supportive of strengthening monitoring.

Zhuo Wingxing emphasized that there was no such thing as "payment" in the plan. Government colleagues will enforce the law according to the situation. Those who are not serious will be warned first, and those who have committed serious or repeated offenders will be directly enforced and prosecuted. The number of prosecutions) will be increased by 100% and 50%.” The government will also examine whether it is necessary to start with the penalties, such as increasing the fixed fine for littering by $1,500, and believes that the current penalty for illegally posting street signs is not high.

Zhuo Yongxing also stated that there are some long-standing and difficult problems that must be dealt with, including abandoned vehicles in the back alley, etc., and will urge all departments to formulate performance indicators. I believe that there is a lot of work to be done in the first three months.

Cheng Yongshun, a member of the Legislative Council of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, said on the same program that in principle, he welcomes the government to carry out the relevant plan in stages, but believes that the government still has some problems such as unclear powers and responsibilities, and cross-departmental division of labor. If you start it at night, I believe there will be better results.

He also pointed out that the penalty for agreeing to indiscriminately dispose of waste is increased.
