Legislators advocate deregulation of policies to solve the difficulties of people's livelihood

2022-07-21

(picture: many members of the Legislative Council hope that all Hong Kong citizens will become firm defenders, participants and practitioners of "one country, two systems".) Members suggested that the existing problems of Hong Kong's economy and people's livelihood could be solved by tearing down the walls and loosening the restrictions on policies. They said that they would reflect the needs of citizens to government officials through different channels, so as to implement the "four points of hope" Ta Kung Pao reporter Yihao Gepeifan, a member of the Legislative Council of the Democratic National Construction Association, said that President Xi Jinping mentioned in the "four points of hope" that "we should effectively solve the problems of people's livelihood and make the development achievements benefit all citizens more and more fairly", reflecting his concern for grassroots citizens. At present, the aging population in Hong Kong is serious. Many elderly people report that there is a lack of barrier free facilities and elderly care centers in housing estates, and the approval procedures for adding handrails in units are cumbersome. The SAR government should actively study how to tear down the existing policies to improve their quality of life, and set up an elderly care team to coordinate relevant matters, so as to make the lives of the elderly more comfortable and convenient. She also called on the SAR government to relax the restrictions on the introduction of non local trained doctors, so that the shortage of medical resources will be alleviated in the short term. Let citizens get a sense of happiness Huang Guo, a member of the Legislative Council of the Federation of trade unions, pointed out that President Xi Jinping particularly stressed "the need to help young people solve the practical difficulties they face in their studies, employment, entrepreneurship and home ownership". This is his specific request to the SAR government and also a guide to the future direction of the SAR government. The government of the special administrative region should change its governance concept, focus on the people, respond effectively to the expectations of the people, effectively solve the difficulties of people's livelihood, and respond to the expectations of the people with tangible work results, so that the citizens have a more, more direct and more tangible sense of gain, happiness and security. He also said that the current SAR government has been actively listening to public opinion and understanding the needs of citizens in different ways since it took office 20 days ago. He believed that they would make achievements soon and share the fruits of development with citizens. Legislative Council member Leung Mei Fen from the Democratic Alliance said that many existing livelihood problems in Hong Kong can be solved by amending legislation. For example, to increase the supply of land in the short and medium term, the land (Compulsory Sale for Redevelopment) Ordinance can be amended to reduce the threshold of "forced auction" from 80% to 70%, and in the case of dangerous buildings, it can be reduced to a lower level, so as to dismantle walls and loosen ties for the reconstruction of old buildings. In addition, the SAR government should also use the land resumption Ordinance more to recover land for housing construction in the public interest. She pointed out that Hong Kong currently has no legislation to protect children, and hoped that the SAR government would pay attention to and speed up legislation to avoid the occurrence of child abuse cases in the future.
