Hong Kong Workers In Demand
HONG KONG Skilled workers from Hong Kong are finding employment as far afield as the Sudan. A Labour Department statement said that 28 metal ware, enamel ware and plastic ware workmen were sent by a local enamel Ware factory to work in its affiliate in the Sudan during the second quarter of the year.
There also continued to be a demand for Hong Kong skilled workers and domestic servants in Brunei and British North Borneo. In the three-month period, April to June, 51 went to Brunei, 48 to North Borneo and seven to Sarawak. Seven farmers migrated to North Borneo under a government scheme for the settlement of a number of Hong agricultural workers and their families.—Reuter.
