Lik, Hong Kong has lots of cash, way better than Canada where you have to pay off the debt, at all levels of government, over the next few decades. Hong Kong government is among the smartest in the world. Look at the US, UK, Japan, Canada and Eastern Europe, they are all crumbling now.
Peter,
You are entirely correct that the HK SAR government has a lot of $$ on hand (stashed away in the reserves), and example after example have shown how incredibly reluctant the SAR government is in spending any of it on its very own citizens, even during times of extremely dire needs (such as the worst economic crisis the World has seen in 80+ years. Whenever I repeat this rhetoric, you claim that HK has no basis to increase public spendings because the city's low tax rates cannot afford such "extravagance". And now you are telling me that HK has a lot of cash on hands? Do you even know what "consistency" and "credibility" means?
Your claim that "Hong Kong government is among the smartest in the world." is even more idiotic. Anyone with eyes for the last 12 years knows what kind of shxt the HK SAR government has gotten HK into. There were certainly some good deeds being done among the bad over the years, but haven't my previous post (post #86) already shown you enough moronic blunders committed by this utterly brainless government?!
