John Lee marks 100th day in office, hints at policies on snatching talent for Hong Kong

Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu on Saturday marked the 100th day since he assumed office on July 1 with a Facebook post saying he will roll out more policies on “snatching enterprises and talents” and public housing developments.
“I will announce policies on 'snatching enterprises and talents,' and pushing forward landing seeking and public housing developments with 'increased speed, efficiency, quantity and enhanced quality' for the happiness of citizens and for the development of Hong Kong,” the post read.

Lee will release his first policy address on October 19.

In his detailed conclusion on the work done in the past 100 days, Lee recalled how the quarantine measures gradually relaxed from seven-day quarantine to “3+4” and finally the existing “0+3”.

Yet, he stressed that each of the measures must be executed orderly and steadily without bringing chaos, adding that he understands the public shares different views on the matter.

Lee said two task forces on land and housing supplies and public housing led by Financial Secretary and deputy secretary, respectively, submitted a 100-day report to him yesterday, offering ideas on land-seeking and building public homes.

In terms of social issues, Lee spoke of the swift moves by his cabinet following severe incidents.

“I asked my teams to quickly respond to issues that the public cares about very much, like the concert incident where dancers were seriously injured, the fatal industrial incident that involved a fallen crane tower, and collapsed trees on the roads, hoping to answer citizens' expectations with actions.”

The relationship between legislation and administration was also brought to a whole new level under the “administration-led” and “patriots ruling Hong Kong” principles, with three antechamber exchange sessions successfully staged already, Lee noted.
