The implementation methodology is certainly extremely important, and the proposals given by the government so far has been nothing short of ridiculous. Additionally, details of the aftermath of either a refusal to testing and to a positive test has been sorely lacking. Social workers will be assigned to follow up with a student refusing to test. Oh ya? But where is the social worker and required resources coming from? Where is the funding for this? And what do you do with the student that has been tested positive? Allow him to continue going to class? Kick him out? And if you kick him out, where do you place this student? And how many positive tests does the government expect? For the different expect numbers (best case, expected case, worse case, etc.), what does the government and the education system intend to do with these kids?
A simple Jing Sung highschool, with a mere student population of 120-ish was already wrecking havoc throughout Hong Kong. If the drug test turns up 1000+ students (which is probably a fairly conservative estimate, given HK's total student base), what does the government intend to do???
The entire plan is not even half-baked, and yet Bowtie and Wong Yum Lung already want to implement it and put it to practice. How can anyone support such a hastily hatched plan?
