The governnment [i.e. government] should use our taxes more efficiently, especially on medical subsidies for Hong Kong people. Also, the government should have trained more more doctors and nurses to solve the shortage of medical talents in recent years.

Ms Mau Kwai-mui, 55, housewife

I wish there would be more support for students to go to university and more travel and study subsidies for us.

Mr Leung Chi-man, 15, student

The government should provide more support to the middle class. Now we enjoy adequate support, but we pay heavy taxes. It should pay more attention to the middle class.

Ms Choi Chi-wah, 40, logistics manager

As a university student about to graduate next year, I hope the government can help lower the sky high property price and the first installment for the home ownership scheme. I hope it would have a more detailed plan on housing.

Ms Lau Po-yi, 23, student

I have nothing to complain; so far, the government's policies are able to cover the needs of my family.

Mr Wong Yuen-kong, 40, customer servicer

I support the resumption of the Home Ownership Scheme, but I hope the income limit could be higher, so the middle class could enjoy this benefit and do not need to suffer from high property prices.

Mr Kenneth Yan, 35, I. T. technician

The governemnt [i.e. government] should have more transparent policies. They seem to work without knowing what citizens want.

Ms Yandy Suen, 20, student

More public housing should be built and the land supply should be handled more effectively to cope with the soaring property prices. Land in the New Territories, in particular, should be developed to cater to the city's pressing need for housing.

Leung Sum-kuen, 59, insurance accounts executive
