Eunice Yung speaks to RTHK's Jimmy Choi
New People's Party lawmaker Eunice Yung said on Wednesday that the government needs to find places for domestic helpers to go on their days off, so they don't cause a nuisance to other people by clogging up public spaces.
Speaking in Legco on Wednesday, the Labour and Welfare Secretary Law Chi-kwong said there were no plans at present to set up activity centres for maids, like one that opened in Kennedy Town in 1994.
But Yung told RTHK's Jimmy Choi that she's upset with the government's lack of concern over the matter.
"Now they are still using just one centre in Kennedy Town, even though they said there are six more schools which are willing to join the programme. But when I ask them further, they simply can't answer whether these schools are still willing to give out the facilities for the foreign domestic centres in Hong Kong, and they have no further plans to extend the programme," Yung said.
"I find it very fascinating and rather disappointing," she added.
