Gallup wallops HK in just-announced Potential Net Migration Index

in a poll of 66 nations, hk came out 65th in an index just published by gallup polls. the only country to do worse was iraq!

the main reasons for hk's abysmal ranking, among sri lanka, trinidad & tobago and mexico: overcrowding, traffic congestion and AIR POLLUTION.
tellingly, singapore was number one. it's worth noting that, to date, singapore is the only asian country with a congestion charging scheme. the congestion charging scheme relieves the city of traffic congestion and its toxic concomitant - air pollution.
even if hk's poor gallup showing is not fully warranted, it's still a painful smack in the face for the current administration.

i attended donald tsang's presentation to the HK general business chamber two weeks ago. his remarks focused on how the govt intends to support revitalization and encourage innovation in our economy through various investment and conservation schemes. but, what is the point of entrepreneurial ingenuity and vigor, when commerce unfolds against the backdrop of hk's benighted skies? his remarks will ring hollow and his initiatives remain academic unless he can also provide the minimimum requirements for healthy living, so crucial to the flourishing -- indeed, survival -- of its residents.
