AI Summary (NQ-processed)
Due to scarce housing resources, the Hong Kong government last year launched a reward scheme to encourage citizens to report abuse of public rental housing. Secretary for Housing Winnie Ho announced that as of the end of March, the Housing Authority had received 5,400 reports but only confirmed 25 cases. Despite the low confirmation rate, some lawmakers believe the scheme is effective. Concurrently, the government has reclaimed over 10,000 abused units through enhanced enforcement and other measures.
