The report is similar to last year's. What more can you expect the government to do? Waiving rates and the electricity subsidy do help a bit. We need a universal retirement protection scheme, but it's too big a burden for the government at the moment.

Expenditure on education should be used to help poor students. I hope the government will create more university places. The financial giveaway was both good and bad as it leads to people spending more but also causes prices to rise.

The government has not given enough help to elderly people. The increase in elderly care home places this time is not enough, especially with an ageing population. It's good that there is no cash giveaway this time. People who have not worked in Hong Kong and have not paid any tax should not be given such benefits.
