Hong Kong Legco expansion costs questioned by ex-president Fan

Rita Fan, Hong Kong's first post-handover Legco president, publicly agreed with a friend's remark that a 90-seat legislature costs more than a 60-seat one, sparking debate over the financial burden of the expanded council. The comment, made during a radio interview, is notable as it comes from a pro-establishment figure and may signal growing concern over government spending. The full implications for public support and fiscal policy remain unclear.
