No core social indicator in Hong Kong scores a passing rate in 2020
The Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#PORI) randomly interviewed 1,000 citizens via the phone to gauge their opinion on the five core social indicators in Hong Kong.
The survey shows consistently
declining score across all five values – Democracy, Freedom, Rule of Law, Prosperity and Stability.
On a scale between 0 to 10, none of the indicator has achieved a score higher than 5, with “Democracy” and “Rule of Law” rated at the bottom of the list at 3.56 and 3.8 respectively. “Prosperity” was rated at 4.09, the lowest rating ever recorded since June 1997.
Rule of Law : 3.8
Democracy : 3.56
Freedom : 4.45
Posperity: 4.09
Stability: 4.04
The Convener of The Professional of Commons on Policy issues, Lai Kwong-tak pointed out that a consistent decline across all 5 social indicators is linked to the erosion of human rights in the city
The finding reveals that the government has “taken no notice to human rights, and neglected people’s livelihood.” The administration has degraded from “poor” to “tyrannical”.
Lai cited the outbreak of Coronavirus in Yau Ma Tei as an example, where the root causes are connected to long standing issues like town planning, housing policy and poverty policy.
Lai also condemned that amidst hiking unemployment rate and a stagnant market, the city's Finance Secretary hinted on a tax increase while the Secretary for Labor and Welfare suggested raising transportation concessions for elderly from HK$2 to HK$3. These policies are simply disconnected with societal needs.
