'Time to discuss if old and rich deserve public flats'
The chairwoman of the Housing Authority's subsidised housing committee, Cleresa Wong, on Tuesday said it's time for society to consider whether more public flat tenants should be required to undergo a means test in order to stay in their homes. Currently, those over 60 do not have to declare their assets.  Wong has suggested changing this so that only those aged 65 and above are exempt. "We need to provide affordable housing for low-income groups, for this to be sustainable I think we need to review [the wealthy tenants age exemption rule]... I think everyone should discuss this," Wong told RTHK.
