Policy Address aimed at increasing happiness: John Lee
Chief Executive John Lee said his Policy Address – which will be unveiled on Wednesday – will focus on developing the economy and making people happier. Lee showed reporters the cover of his policy blueprint at a media briefing on Tuesday, saying he’s chosen the colour green like last year. "Green represents hope, vitality and harmony, and I would like to use the colour green to symbolise Hong Kong's transition from order to prosperity, and the continuation of our vibrancy year after year," he said.  The CE said the focus this year is to “strive to improve the economy, plan development, benefit livelihoods and add happiness.” Lee noted that he and his officials have attended more than 40 consultation sessions and received around 8,700 submissions while consulting members of the public on the Policy Address.  He thanked people for helping him decide on the priorities, but refused to comment on initiatives widely expected to be announced in the blueprint, such as cash incentives to encourage childbirth.
