Fund is more a PR exercise for tycoons
Poor families can hardly cope with rising inflation, even when there are government subsidies. I think the Community Care Fund is a controversial initiative.
The goal seems to be to reduce resentment against the rich rather than improving the living standards of those in need. In other words, tycoons want to show how generous they are through the Community Care Fund. As the fund doesn't say how the money will be spent, and is only voluntary, I doubt if it will succeed.
Hong Kong's tycoons have a responsibility to help the underprivileged fight their plight. It is the duty of the extremely rich to contribute to Hong Kong society because they are earning billions in profit. They should always take care of the poor, not just donate money to a high-profile fund.
