We are not copying Singapore, Hong Kong finance minister Paul Chan says of move to donate top officials' salaries to charity amid coronavirus crisis

[Johnrambo]

• Financial secretary says decision was already being discussed before it was announced hours after island state’s move to cut ministerial wages
• He insists it is about showing solidarity and directly helping people, which would be more effective than simply reducing the pay of officials

Hong Kong’s finance minister has denied that the government was following Singapore’s example by having top officials donate a month’s salary to charity amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po on Saturday said the move was made because of the difficult economic situation the city was facing, and to show solidarity with residents.

The decision, revealed on Friday night, came after Singapore’s announcement earlier in the day to cut the salary of its ministers and members of parliament by a month, while senior public service officers would give up half a month of their pay.

Chan added that Hong Kong’s move to further donate the officials’ wages to charity carried a “double meaning”, since it could directly help the needy.

Talk Cock sing song

GE is coming. The Wayang has started.

Dictators standard practices. Giving you a penny to gain your votes. You pay back a pound after giving them your votes.

Remember they took a 32% pay cut sometime ago n was justly rewarded with a windfall of bonuses n perks thereafter same pattern diff day ?

Wah, you know them so well

Shylock’s pattern out now

What percentage of salary being cut? Secretive? One percent also considered pay cut- stop bullshiting citizens. Also one month only?

Abstain from Meat one day before a Banquet?

Now wayang, if they win the next GE they will cut a pound of flesh from each and every one of us including those who voted them in again.

Already collected 7 months bonus for 2019...now give back only 1 month... strongly believe will be refunded to them with extras come Dec...

Actually what is the benefit of doing this? Still getting 11 months of an obscenely hugh annual salary.

Sama Sama Itu GE!
Sucking us dry and getting themselves more bonuses.
