Maybe Hong Kong should introduce long service leave. This is a uniquely Australian entitlement, introduced in the 1860's so that European settlers in Australia could sail home to England after 10 years of service, have a holiday, then sail back to Australia and be able to resume their positions after 3 or 4 months of sailing.
Section 37 of the Victorian Public Service Act of 1862 reads: "Where any officer desires to visit Europe or some other distant country if he have continued in the civil service of the colony at least ten years and have not been reduced for misconduct or deprived of leave of absence under this Act the Governor in council may grant to him leave of absence upon half-salary for a period not exceeding twelve months but for such period of absence such officer shall not be entitled to receive any annual increment".
Australian's are lazy fuckers, even to this day this entitlement still exists, even though it has no practical purpose any more. Anything to get an extra long holiday .
