Lawmakers look set to approve a HK$5 billion injection into the Community Care Fund, although lawmakers from several parties have indicated disapproval of the government-business partnership.
The Legislative Council's finance committee will vote today on the government's share of the HK$10 billion fund - supposed to be matched by the private sector - after ministers admitted last week that only HK$680 million had been collected from businesses so far, with another HK$1.12 billion pledged.
