On Financial Secretary John Tsang's claim that he is middle class, the government's plan for a new citywide clean-up campaign, and Beijing's air pollution problems.
If he claims he is also middle class, then the rest of Hong Kong wage earners are all below the poverty line.
I can get his message: If you are neither super rich nor financially dependent then you're in the middle. More like useless rather than false information to me.
Before anyone criticises secretary Tsang's monthly salary, isn't that what many expatriate (read white) bankers and QCs make in a fortnight?
This comment is as off-target as his budget estimate (original forecast of a HK$3.4 billion deficit now revised to HK$64.9 billion surplus). How can you get it so wrong and still earn that kind of monthly salary? I'm in the wrong job!
What a humble guy, Mr John Tsang. President Obama 's base salary is US$400,000 a year. I would say Mr Tsang makes even more than the president of the United States.
He means he is in the middle - between Li Ka-shing and those who live in cage homes.
