(The Standard P.5 26 June 2013) Politics is the one facet (方面) of our community
life that troubles the public the most, ahead of even the economy and
livelihood issues.
That is the conclusion of the latest
University of Hong Kong poll.
It found the levels of public satisfaction to
be all negative in the three areas, minus (負數) nine for the economy, minus 28 in
livelihood and minus 43 for the political situation.
Only 13.3 percent were satisfied with the
political situation, the lowest since 2004.
The HKU Public Opinion Programme poll took in
1,040 people between June 13 and 19.
The findings on the three fronts (政治, 經濟等的)方面 are not much
different from those of half a year ago.
"People are still least
(最少的) satisfied with the current political condition," said program director
Robert Chung Ting-yiu.
"An in-depth
(全面地) analysis shows that the younger the respondents, the more dissatisfied they are
with the current livelihood condition."
Meanwhile, a snap
poll by The Standard of 20 people showed they were split over the first-year
performance of Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying.
Leung has said
economic development, housing, poverty, the elderly and environmental
protection are the five core policy areas for his administration.
Most of those born in
the 1950s to 1960s gave him a thumbs-up.
He did poorly in all
five areas for those born in the 1980s and 1990s.
Most were
dissatisfied with housing, saying it is hard for the young to get a decent (像樣的)
flat.
Kenny Chu Man-kit, a
20-year-old student, said he failed to see concrete (具體的) work done to improve
poverty.
Most said Leung has
failed to improve the economy.
But teacher Siu
Shuk-hing, 40, said the government needs more time.
"It is not
Leung's fault. The problem has existed since Donald Tsang Yam-kuen's
administration," he said. "Leung needs time to remedy."

According to the latest University of Hong Kong poll, it showed that most residents, the youngsters especially are dissatisfied the Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying and his administration on the policies of housing and improve poverty and the economy. Some expected that it would be large crowds to take part in the annual July 1 march to express their angry about what CY. Leung’s administration had done.
回覆刪除Some said the new administration would be very hard to take policies as the public might not believe in Leung’s honesty. Leung has involved the integrity for the unauthorized illegal structure in his house. Also, some secretaries of his team involved their sincerities for tricking. One of them stepped down for his dishonesty.
There were actually tens of thousands of people who took the street to protest against the Government during the No.3 strong wind signal which was hoisted. They shouted slogans of genuine universal suffrage and calling for Leung Chun- ying to step down.
If Leung had been clean for his house of unauthorized illegal structure and performed his duty faithfully, the public would have bought of what he and the Government implemented measures.
