Hong Kongers Get Rent Free Accommodation

The Hong Kong Government is once again offering sweeteners to the local population. This time residents of Government Accommodation will have two rent free months.



While those in charge of the Special Administrative Region are increasing the Duty on Cigarettes and Tobacco to extortionate levels, the caring side seems to be giving it all back.

Just after the announcement of giving every resident a payment HK$6,000 into their bank accounts those in charge are on a roll with more gifts.

Tenants of The Governments Housing Authority will receive two free months rental in August and September this year.  According to the Government this is to counter effect the effects of inflation which has recently rocked around the world.
Just under 700,000 families will benefit from the rent allowance and will cost nearly HK$2 billion to the Government.

The Current Appointed Administration's term in power will soon be coming to an end next year in 2012. The more cynical group of Hong Kong residents will see these sweeteners to gain favor for the next elected appointed leader of the SAR.

Whatever the reasons behind the apparent generosity, local residents will gain a little to make their life a little bit more happier.
