Mr Chan elaborated: “We must imbue in our more successful ones the sense of responsibility to help the weaker ones in society.

ComCare – only $104m
The sum allocated to the ComCare and Social Support Programme was only $104 million, and only $25 million for the Elderly and Disability Programme.
So, this $104 million – according to the CDCs’ annual report for FY2011, the number of applications for financial assistance was 72,700 for the whole year from 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012 – had to be distributed to so many needy families who were successful in their applications.
