The scheme to recruit mainland professionals will benefit Hong Kong.
Nowadays, Hong Kong university graduates take everything for granted. Most of them have not tried their utmost to get the necessary qualifications. They only seek fun and entertainment while ignoring all other things.
The professionalism of local graduates has greatly declined in comparison to that of graduates of an earlier era.
Over-protectiveness is one of the reasons for such a phenomenon. The scheme to recruit mainlanders can give them a jolt and act as a wake-up call.
Also, no objections have been raised to the recruitment of employees from other countries. So why do we discriminate against our own compatriots across the border?
However, the scheme does raise some questions.
For example, will the scheme be attractive enough to mainlanders to take up employment in Hong Kong while other countries such as Singapore and the United States compete to get them?
