Government has means to solve social issues
The local government has the financial means to solve social issues and improve public institutions, but may not be politically willing to do so, Timothy Ka Ying Wong, director of the Centre for Social and Political Development Studies in Hong Kong, said yesterday.
The government does not at all believe in social dialogue and is in fact doing its best to eliminate all sorts of consultation to be able to do as it deems fit, Labour MP Gino Cauchi, party spokesman for social dialogue, said.
