Li Ka-shing warns Hong Kong is a 'spoilt child' set on a dangerous path!!!!!!!

[Johnrambo]

Asia's richest man, Li Ka-shing, has warned that Hong Kong is like "a spoilt child" and said the city was headed down a dangerous path of populism.​

If the trend was not stopped, the city would have gone "totally wrong" in as little as five years.


In his second interview with a major mainland news outlet since November, Li advised the city's government to invest more in innovation and technology to improve competitiveness, and not to focus solely on poverty relief.


The chairman of Cheung Kong (Holdings) and Hutchison Whampoa, who is ranked 20th in Forbes magazine's list of the world's super-rich this year, told online news service Caixin.com: "My family was poor and there was a time when we were left completely destitute. I will never forget that. I very much understand what it is like when you need to worry about making ends meet every day.


"And it is also natural that such a situation gives rise to populism. But the important point is that society should find ways to resolve problems and not get stuck in a state of anger."

of coz lahhhh, Li Ka-shing, his empires and families are actually instrumental to the poor hk state of today.
what has he contributed to his country beside sucking it dry for his family?
instead of pouring back to his homeland during the oriental pearly times of hk, he only cared for his empire, corrupt with his governments and kahoot with top ppls in china..... he has no right but pure hypocrisy to make such comment
sigh

Li’s heart is in TeochewLand, even though he made most of his wealth from CuntoLand. Essentially, Li is an outsider like what Robert Kuok said of himself in his biography.



As long as you have paid your taxes, you have done your part for society. It is the job of the government to make good use of taxpayers’ money. The more important role is that of the electorate - to hold the government accountable for the use of taxpayers’ money. In a one idiot one vote system, this role will not be performed well - witness PAP’s SinkaPoor, Trump’s America - and if each and every Hongkie were given one vote regardless of how clever or stupig, then the result will still be the same. The masses do not even know what is good for themselves, how can they know what is good for the country as a whole?

Depends on the choices you make. Flat - can buy from a few other developers like Sun Hung Kai, New World, etc or even Sino Land and Kerry Properties. Groceries - besides Li’s ParkNShop there is Jardine’s Wellcome and Mannings. Phone - use SmarTone (Sun Hung Kai), China Mobile, HKBN, etc lah! Transport - bus is mostly New World (CitybusNWFB) and Sun Hung Kai (Kmb) and MTR is gabrament hor.
