Dr Hon LEUNG Ka-lau to move the following motion: (Translation)

That, as Hong Kong is in general an affluent and civilized society, yet some employees still need to work long hours, adversely affecting their personal health and family life and giving rise to many social problems, this Council urges the Government to legislate for 'standard working hours' according to the principles of fairness, flexibility, and having regard to the business environment and competitiveness of Hong Kong.
