offering help to needy people
Helping hands: Financial Secretary John Tsang says the Government will continue to invest heavily in the community to help needy people.

Financial Secretary John Tsang says he has adhered to three principles - commitment to society, sustainability and pragmatism - in drawing up the Budget, to ensure the proposed measures can lay a solid foundation for Hong Kong to meet future challenges.

 

Presenting the Budget to the Legislative Council this morning, Mr Tsang said benefits of many of his proposals will not be immediately felt, but they will have a positive impact on Hong Kong in the medium and long run.
