The HRP issued a statement supporting the 10% raise in allowances for teachers, even though this raise is very small. The HRP statement dated 14 March 2008 indicated that, even though this 10% raise is coming late and it does not affect all government workers yet, the HRP welcomes it and it calls on the government to work hard to continue to expand this salary increase. At the same time, the HRP also asked the government to take efficient measure to prevent the rise in the price of goods, so as to show the ability of the “Iron Fist” in controlling the economy by the current government.
