Hong Kong’s John Lee visits Hung Hom, Ho Man Tin ahead of Lunar New Year
Hong Kong's Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu has embarked on a four-day community outreach initiative, engaging directly with residents and businesses in various neighborhoods ahead of the Lunar New Year. During his visit to the Oi Man Estate in Ho Man Tin, a public housing area approximately 50 years old, Lee aimed to understand the everyday lives of the locals and assess the economic climate. His visit included a stop at a "community living room" for tenants of subdivided homes, reflecting his administration's approach to addressing housing issues.
The outreach is part of a broader effort by senior government officials to connect with communities, coinciding with the Year of the Snake celebrations. Lee, accompanied by Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak Mei-kuen, met with elderly residents and conversed with shop owners about their business experiences. While shop owners reported sales meeting expectations, they expressed hopes for further economic support and resources, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, to weather the current downturn. This initiative highlights the government's commitment to understanding and improving local living conditions and economic prospects.
