The HK government have just announced their annual budget. However, there are no significance improvement in the elderly benefits and retirement allowance (fruit money). They only suggest giving a small lump sum of HKD3000 to elderly citizens and this have resulted in disappointment among artistes.

"Only a subsidized electrical bill of HKD1800? Thanks, but no thanks! Why not they just give the $1800 to the elderly, so that they can spend on it and enjoy their retired life? We younger ones can still earn a living, though artistes benefits isn't much this year but at least it's something positive. In addition, our annual tax is quite a large amount, if the government can reduce our tax rate that would be great. If not, I'd rather they give more money (from tax collection) to the elderly.
