Hey, you sorry lot, thanks for nothing
Everywhere you look, there's a CEO apologizing for something.

Success still long shot for women
Hong Kong women are celebrated for their style, glamour and a certain je ne sais quoi that is commonly perceived to result from the power of their purse.

Car trouble
The global recall of Toyota vehicles is a shocking incident. The company really should have dealt with this incident in a more timely manner.

Bad role models
There has been a lot of media coverage about skinny - and not so skinny - models at various fashion weeks recently.

No easy solutions
In the column "Safeguarding against welfarism," (The Standard, February 25), Mary Ma referred to the can-do spirit of Hongkongers in the 1960s. Then even poor families had five or six children. Today, all but a few extremely wealthy people have one or two.

Dream home is just that
We live in an expensive city. The increments of salary rises of the public have not been able to catch up with our inflation rate, especially in the property market.

Caring strategy aims to build city with a heart
This year's budget outlines a number of important initiatives to strengthen support for the elderly and people with disabilities as well as promote employment and assist job-seekers.

What about science park?
What is the government doing at Pak Shek Kok, Tai Po ? The strip of coastal land was supposed to be used for a science and technology park, but part has been sold for the private development of luxury housing.

Givebacks, not handouts
Using the term "handout," as Mary Ma did ("Safeguarding against welfarism," February 25), implies that something is given that is not earned or that an act of charity is being committed.
