Sun credited the sweat of workers for the prosperity and stability of the international metropolis. The bureau aims to achieve further breakthroughs in labor policy over the coming year. Sun Yukhan stated the Labour Department is currently consulting with platform companies on this matter. Additionally, the government reported that over 40 million HKD in subsidies had been issued to employers to assist with the transition following the cancellation of the MPF offsetting mechanism. New flexible MPF arrangements for the self-employed also took effect on May 1.
