Lawmakers turned down a funding request from the government to host Asian
Game
Lawmakers rejected the funding proposal in the Legco Finance Committee a short
while ago. Hosting the Games could have cost taxpayers at least 6 billion dollars.

the staging for the Asian Games.

necessary conditions ready. And we have to get the hardware and the venues ready.
