00:00The Education Ministry should not restrict fundraising activities by certain companies

00:07in schools if the government does not allocate sufficient funds to all streams of schools,

00:12Ge Ratkan said.

00:14Party President Dominic Lau said the government should understand and not hinder the longstanding

00:18tradition of fundraising activities at Chinese schools.

00:22With limited government assistance, Lau said these schools can only rely on fundraising

00:27such as charity sales, charity dinners, concerts and performances to secure funding.

00:34If fundraising is not allowed, he said the government should fully allocate the necessary

00:38funds to Chinese schools.

00:40Lau also said Tiger Beer only sponsors performances, does not sell beer at the event, and does

00:46not directly provide funds to the school, as all the money received comes from philanthropists

00:51and the school's alumni.

00:53Lau said the Tiger Beer logo on the mock cheque would not have a negative influence

00:57on the students, nor would it make them heavy drinkers.

01:01On Monday, the Education Ministry said it was investigating the incident and reminded

01:05schools to adhere to the guidelines issued in 2018, which prohibit accepting donations

01:09generated from activities such as gambling as well as the sale of tobacco, drugs and

01:14alcohol.
