I FIND Carol Yeung's letter headlined, ''Think again before emigrating'' (South China Morning Post, November 25) a bit irresponsible when one thinks about those millions of poor people in Hong Kong.
I am one of those people who do not want to live under Communist control and I have no faith in our future.
However, I am unable to leave because I am poor.
The difficulties of living overseas listed by Miss Yeung are open to argument.
Admittedly, life is tough as an immigrant; so my friends and relatives have told me many times. But they live in their new, adopted countries happily, even though they are poor. As voters, they can even help to get rid of an unpopular government without getting shot.
Social discrimination in a foreign land is inevitable. But as the Chinese community grows in size in a country, the severity of this discrimination will fall.
