Summary 內容: Hong Kong is home to many millionaires, but it is also a city known for its income disparity. Despite the host of measures implemented by the Government to alleviate poverty, improve upward social mobility, enhance elderly care, and so on, we can still hear stories about old people collecting cardboard boxes, people living in coffin homes, and the recent unnoticed death of a McRefugee homeless lady.

How can the Government tackle poverty and foster a caring, compassionate and cohesive Hong Kong? All students who are the future pillars of society are welcome to join this face-to-face meeting with Mr. Cheung, the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, and together shed light on the topic.
