Now in its 15th year, the Top Ten SAR Government Policy Initiatives was launched in 1998. From a single-media, single-organizer event, it has grown to become a large-scale public opinion poll. In addition to the organizers, this year’s event also drew the participation of 63 supporting organizations and over 100 universities and secondary schools. Through the years, The Top Ten SAR Government Policy Initiatives has developed into one of the more objective, trusted thermometers of public sentiments regarding the government’s policy-making efficacy.
