Hong Kong Increases Cross-Border Vehicle Quotas

Mainland Chinese social media platforms are promoting ultra-low-cost one-day tours to Hong Kong. Additionally, the minimum wage ordinance provides special arrangements for disabled employees, allowing for wage assessments based on their specific production capacity to ensure they receive pay no lower than the statutory minimum. Authorities have issued four fixed penalty notices related to labor regulations and will continue inspections. Lin Man-chung stated that the government will continue promotional work to ensure public compliance with the law. Residents of parts of Wong Fu Yuen, Wong Tai Sin, and Wong Kin Kwok are returning to their units in batches to retrieve belongings. Danny Tong, the authority's chief manager of nursing, noted that visiting times at certain facilities remain at four hours per day. The arrests occurred as authorities prepared for the upcoming holiday period. Police arrested two men, aged 43 and 66, during an undercover operation in Hong Kong. The suspects are accused of charging tourists between $300 and $540, which is approximately twice the original fare. The incident occurred on the eve of Hong Kong's Labor Day and the mainland's five-day Golden Week break. Tourism chief Rosanna Law stated the government will not tolerate misconduct affecting the SAR's reputation. The Transport Department announced that applications for Hong Kong cross-border private vehicles using the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge will be accepted starting May 7.
