#21 Post at 3-3-2011 22:01  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L QUOTE: Originally posted by rs400 at 3-3-2011 20:40 Bank of East Asia (SEHK: 0023) economist Tang Sai-on estimated the handouts would lift inflation by 0.2 percentage points to 4.7 per cent this year. "The cash handouts amount to about one per cent of the gross domestic product. Even if just half of that is spent, it will still push up inflation." There you have it. It does little for inflation in HK but for WGs, this could spell a 20% increase in their prices as they would be more accessible to would be punters. QUOTE: Originally posted by rs400 at 3-3-2011 20:40 Macau, I believed, didn't post cheques out, but those eligible would go collect the cheque? In Macau, the cheques are most definitely mailed out to the recipeints but John Tsang had said this would be impractical for HK. Govt will make sure it won't be easy getting hold of this $6,000 so those who don't need the money may forfeit the benefit. We shall see.

#23 Post at 4-3-2011 00:57  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L to be honest if the govt had that much money to spare they should have used it to help those who really need it i.e the sick and the poor. Now you're gonna see Li Ka Shing queuing up at the bank to collect his 6k... the real way to spend this money in a meaningful way would be to collect it and then donate it to charity... if everyone did that HK would surely be a better place...

#28 Post at 4-3-2011 12:28  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Here's an excerpt from the above news article: "...Mr Tsang has instead proposed that all permanent residents over the age of 18 will receive a HK$6,000 handout from the government, while taxpayers will enjoy tax rebates worth up to HK$6,000." I believe this handout applies to all holders of HK permanent IDs, regardless if they are living in HK or not.

Yes, I think they have to spend another 2k to arrange redemption center, tellers for printing cheques or counting notes... How can a government distribute $6k to each of those millions population?

#32 Post at 7-3-2011 09:30  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #28 bigwilly55's post So I'm confused, some are saying yes you can go back and some are saying you can't go back to get the money?  So if I have family members that still have HKID, we can take a trip back to Hong Kong and I guess part of the trip can be subsidized by the 6k.  That's would be awesome, but at the same time, it's quite a stretch since we are no longer paying money into the HK government but to Uncle Sam.  I don't know how that would make much sense.

#33 Post at 7-3-2011 12:00  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L I believe that Hong Kong law allows for the dual citizenship of its citizens i.e. one can obtain foreign citizenship and still be considered a Hong Kong citizen. Therefore, even if you pay your taxes to Uncle Sam, you can still be eligible for the $6000 handout. Neat, huh?
