Chief Executive John Lee visited Sham Shui Po today to meet community leaders and residents and hear their views on his upcoming Policy Address.

Accompanied by Chief Secretary Chan Kwok-ki and Secretary for Home & Youth Affairs Alice Mak, Mr Lee inspected a three-nil building and paid a visit to a grassroots family living in a subdivided flat there, during which he learnt more about the family's living condition and their perspective on poverty alleviation measures.

Mr Lee then visited the Shamshuipo Kai Fong Welfare Advancement Association Neighbourhood Elderly Centre where he interacted with the seniors.

He also exchanged views with community leaders and grassroots residents on the living condition of local citizens and community development.

The Chief Executive said he fully appreciates the expectations of grassroots residents towards enhancing their living conditions.

“My team and I will continue to communicate with organisations and people of different sectors in the coming two months by taking part in activities including consultation sessions and district visits to tap public views through multiple channels so as to facilitate the drafting of the Policy Address to be delivered in October,” he noted.

Mr Lee will deliver his first Policy Address on October 19. He called on citizens to give their views on issues of their interests to the Government through the public consultation launched on July 25.
