The speaker of today was Mr. Andrew Work and his topic was "The People Under the Lion Rock - Are We Losing the Hong Kong Spirit?" Andrew immigrated to Hong Kong in 1996 and co-founded The Lion Rock Institute, Hong Kong's independent free market think tank. Andrew worked in the events management and community-building sector for 7 years. He shared with us his view on Hong Kong people and the issues of the 2006-07 Budget delivered by the Financial Secretary, Mr Henry Tang. In fact, he was concerned about the education and health care policy of Hong Kong and hoped that the government policy could promote fair competition among society.
