This Saturday, the Community Chest holds its annual fundraising drive: for every HK$1 donated by the public, the CK Hutchison Group and the Li Ka-shing Foundation will jointly match with an additional HK$2.
CK Hutchison Holdings Limited stated that it has long supported The Community Chest and has been one of its top three fundraising organizations for 26 consecutive years. As early as 1999, the CK Group began matching public donations to The Community Chest through various fundraising initiatives, including supporting the 'Community Chest Immediate Relief Fund' on 20 occasions. This year, the CK Group will once again launch the 'CK Donation Hotline' to raise funds for the 'Community Chest Immediate Relief Fund.' In recent years, the CK Group has partnered five times with the Li Ka-shing Foundation to provide 'double-matching' contributions for public donations, benefiting the 'Community Chest Immediate Relief Fund,' the 'Community Chest COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund,' and the 'Community Chest Medical Assistance Fund.'

HK Electric announced that the fuel cost adjustment charge for June is HK$0.313 per kWh, an increase of HK$0.053 from May’s HK$0.26, representing a month-on-month rise of 20.4%. This adjustment begins to reflect the significant increase in international fuel prices driven by the Middle East conflict; however, due to the 'pass-through lag,' current figures have not yet fully captured the changes in fuel costs, and the fuel cost adjustment charge is expected to continue rising in the coming months. The monthly fuel cost adjustment charge is calculated according to a pre-established mechanism based on the average actual fuel costs over the preceding three months.
