While I am happy to score the free cash, just shows how stupid the HK government is. They should give it to people who lodge tax return last year, or give it out as voucher so people have to spend it to help economy.

I just read that in the latest survey Carrie Lam has an approval rating of 9.1%
She must have the thickest hide in all Asia.
not familiar with finances of hk gov, does it have a budget surplus that provides the extra cash to hand out?
otherwise it would have to issue bonds.
I doubt Australia will ever hand out 10K AUD to every citizen over 18yo, you guys from HK are truly spoiled.
hope they dun give it to the fecking cockroaches rioters. Let hk burn and start anew with revamped education system
Can the pages be translated into English ?
Don't worry, the HK government has a lot of money in reserves (like trillions !!) But they did wasted BILLIONS in those massive white elephants infrastructure projects in recent years !
BTW, the Macau government has been handing out money to its people every year, mostly $9,000 - changed to $10,000 last year plus extra in superannuation and another $10,000 for this current crisis !! But then again, those were from the casino revenue/tax and they are billions too !
Not his year, they are in deficit now:

Not surprise as it get milk out by the CCP.
The riots and demonstrations have gone quiet so far and I guess the virus epidemic has frightened many away in HK. The Communist authorities in China must be pleased that they don't have to consider this even though there is a lot of backlash from their own people about the way they have handled this serious epidemic within their country.

You have to admire their commitment to freedom. Tear gas, rubber bullets, real bullets, trunchions, boots - and now a virus pandemic. And still they hit the streets.
Sure, in the stress of life and death situations they may have been forced into over-reaction sometimes, but overall I think they are fucking heroes.

Before I was in HK in October, I ask my friends "Is it safe to come back?" All the reply is "As long as you don't see police you are safe."
My hotel was close to Nathan road and Waterloo Road crossing. One of the black spots. I feel absolute safe.... until Halloween when the dogs (police) came out. I do have to thank them though. Run into a street girl I fucked. She saw the dogs deployed and prepare to call it a night. We keep chatting and I though she was a good fuck so I suggest she stay at my place. She obviously not doing so well so she agrees. Its wasn't my best overnight but I only pay her under HK$1K for the night so can't complain.
