The salary level of senior officials in Hong Kong has ranked among the world's forefront. In recent years, there have been many senior officials who have been corrupted by senior officials in recent years.However, compared with many places, the salary adjustment arrangements of Hong Kong officials are still regulatory.Taking the Chief Executive as an example, the salary adjustment has a established system. It is determined according to the consumer price index each year and approved by the independent committee and approved by the Legislative Council.In 2005, the Finance Committee also saved the Chief Executive at 112.5%of the salary of the Chief Affairs Department.
These rules are to ensure that senior officials have a reasonable combination of salary increase and suitable for normal conditions. However, Hong Kong under the epidemic is obviously in a very period. From entry forced quarantine to restrictions and stop ordering orders, all are unprecedented practices; the epidemic is for Hong KongThe impact of the economy is unprecedented, and many industries have bleak operations.In order to support the economy and employment, both Hong Kong or elsewhere are boldly breaking through the existing framework; in order to assist the industries that are affected by the suspension of the business, even some unimaginable practices have to be considered, such as the salary of some employees in the same generation.In order to resist epidemic, the government can do a good job in the salary arrangement and salary reduction of senior officials, but emphasized that the citizens will inevitably think that this is really no other law, or they do not want to do it.
As a responsible government, no matter how special the situation is, some basic governance principles should still be adhered to and implemented. As for specific technical operations, you can change more as appropriate.In terms of peace, the adjustment of the chief executive and accountability team has been automatically taken into effect on July 1 last year. It is not recently proposed to adjust the salary adjustment.To change the sense of public view, truly wise practices should be to reduce salary.
Looking at the world, many government governments have announced that senior officials or parliamentarians have reduced their salaries collectively, and they are difficult to travel with the people.Senior officials at or above South Korea, including presidents and prime ministers, have reduced their salary 30%for 4 consecutive months; the Malaysian government announced that the Prime Minister and all cabinet members have reduced their salary for two months;All parliamentarians will reduce their salary by 30%from April 1.The local governments have proposed salary reduction, and the specific practices are different. If compared with the economy of the epidemic, the money saved by senior officials salary is actually quite limited. The greatest significance is to reflect the spirit of hardships.
There is no reason to undertake members from politicians.
Asked if she would take the lead in salary reduction, Lin Zheng mentioned that she and the accountability team announced in February this year that a monthly salary was donated to public welfare money and good resistance to the people.Action.Donation and salary are always different; even if some people think that the effects of the two are roughly similar, senior government officials can still pay more.The Singapore government announced the salary reduction at the end of February. President and all cabinet members reduced their salary for one month. All parliament members also reduced a month of allowance, and senior civil servants were reduced for half a month.It is announced that all political duties take the lead in salary reduction for 3 months.Since 1998, the Singaporean government has announced four times that the minister has reduced salaries, three of which are crisis measures. This treatment for this kind of adaptation and special affairs is worthy of the borrowing of the Hong Kong government.
Community epidemic prevention measures have a huge blow to all walks of life, which affects the interests of many people. Although many people understand that in order to cooperate with resistance, everyone must have sacrificed.Intellectual, either the government price to the government.One of the role of senior government officials is to reduce their salaries. One of the effects is to stand up to the moral highland of resistance and urge others to let go of the ego.The power of senior government officials has a large salary and the lead in the epidemic reduction. At least it can show the commitment to the society that politicians should have; in the same principle, in fact, it should also be applied to parliamentarians.If the high salary level of senior officials in Hong Kong, the level of local parliamentarian salary is not low compared to foreign parliament peers.The monthly salary of members of the Hong Kong Legislative Council is nearly 100,000, along with various allowances and actual sales expenditures. It has nearly 200,000 yuan per month. The monthly salary and actual sales expenditure of the district councilor is close to 100,000 yuan.The members of the members of the people are also very reasonable when they cross with the people.
