HONG KONG CONNECTION: SCRAPING BY UNDER INFLATION
A Form 3 student, Sing-lung comes from a six- member Comprehensive Social Security Assistance- dependent (CSSA) family. Shows how he shops frugally for his groceries and collects paper and aluminium cans in exchange for money. His teacher notes that he participates in all free extra-curricular activities. His father says despite their financial difficulties, he buys new runners for Sing-lung's running contest and contributes towards fees for his mainland exchange tour. Sing-lung helps organize children to protest against inflation and poverty and also cleans house and runs errands for the aged. He hopes the government will increase the CSSA and Old Age Allowance.
