The Hong Kong Government gives it all away

It does make you wonder. A medical policy that costs as much as some peoples salaries, drinks parties that require people to swim in the alcoholand, trips to places to encourage poor tourists to come to Hong Kong who if they could afford it would not spend 1% of the advertsing budget which gets them here. In Thailand last week the press were asking "why are our tourist board spending money going to places to encourage people to come to Thailand when those countriers have such a low GDP". This is a country that is sort of democratic (coups aside)and they can ask the questions. Here we get the questions but the people responsible can slip the net, slap on the wrist is the worse case. Selina Chow should be asked how she can possibly substantiate her salary as Chairman (I think) when she couldnt run a raffle. And then today I read that we, thats you and me the tax payers of Hong Kong are about to spend 93million on factories across the border owned by Hong Kong companies. This is apprently for environmental reasons, so China tries to close the factories, Hong Kong says no matter we will provide you with the capital to stay afloat, then they set up a fund to make the factories comply with legislation. Not only did the jobs go we are now paying for green initiatives that will benefit the owners. I am pretty sure China has the legislation if not surely that is where the lobby should be. So the tax base in Hong Kong is maintained which is surely prejudicial to Hong Kong business and bussiness across the border benefits. Where is the logic, who knows. Maybe the money should be spent in Hong Kong on cleaning up our own act. However the council for sustainable development has said that this would cost 20 billion to 30 billion. Good job the man who came up with that spread of numbers, works in a government position. However that seems a drop in the ocean to Dons infrastructure spending of 250billion and potentially would create jobs and better environment. Of course it will be down the list after concreting the harbour to provide a car park.
