Sir, the words long awaited and men overdue came

describe

to find when I face in the Employment (Amendment)(No.2)

Bill 1988. When the long service payment scheme was first

approved,

fad

passed, the Government already promised we that there

to

amend the Bill (review and/works

revi

would be af

& nomendy, Bill

mem day after one year

of implementation, but it was only after much twist

and

and turns then the ordinance wee/implemented for over

E

that

now proposes

stet

two and a half years the Government,

sithe Government provide amendments

to the unreasonable provisions in the Ordinance. We had

indeed been made to sway it with pining eyes. [I certainly

commandment the

support the bill a proposed by the Government.

This is

because if we do not now hasten to plug the loopholes in

stet the original Ordinance, a lot of workers would suffer loss.

But I must point out that the amendment this time has not

been able to plug all the loopholes in the provisions

concerning the long service payment scheme and it has still

fallen short of the expectation from the labour sector.
