A handful of Hong Kong people boycotted donations for Sichuan, and the Hong Kong government has to donate 100 million hard-to-get donations

In recent days, a small number of Hong Kong people have used the “insurgency fundraising lack of supervision” as a reason to initiate the so-called “anti-donation campaign” when the earthquake victims in Ya’an, Sichuan, were in need of assistance. On the 24th, the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region proposed to allocate a total of HK$100 million to Chief Executive Leung Chung-ying to be injected into the disaster relief fund to donate to the Sichuan Provincial Government to hold a special disaster relief conference. However, after two hours of debate, the meeting was divided by the views of parliamentarians on donations. Large and miscarried. This incident caused great repercussions in Hong Kong. The Chief Secretary for Administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mrs Carrie Lam, said on the 28th that he hoped that the Legislative Council would make grants through the relief fund as soon as possible to assist the people affected by the Ya'an earthquake in Sichuan.

Someone has reason to refuse to donate

Compared with the catastrophic floods in Hong Kong during the Wenchuan earthquake, this time there was a bit of twists and turns. In recent days, a small number of people in Hong Kong are worried that the SAR Government will “give generous consideration to the people of Hong Kong” and that the charity funds have been misappropriated. There are even netizens who have initiated the "Nothing to pay (one cent that is 10 cents, Hong Kong small currency unit)" campaign. Some opposition groups also have reservations about the funding, on the grounds that "it is difficult to guarantee that all donations will reach the affected people." Some Members have proposed amendments and proposed that 100 million Hong Kong dollars be allocated to non-governmental organizations and voluntary agencies, or purchase materials to directly assist people in disaster areas.

A small number of people who opposed the donation also said that "the mainland is now rich and Hong Kong people do not need to donate it." The public opinion in Hong Kong believes that whether or not the recipient is rich should not be a necessary condition for making donations. In the 2011 earthquake in Japan, Hong Kong also made a donation. Japan is very rich. Why did you not raise objections at that time?
