The government should “speed up” the legislative process of a bill on the rights of the elderly, Kong Wai Iong, who heads the Social Services Committee of the Macau General Union of Neighbourhood Associations, said yesterday.
The union is commonly known as Kai Fong.
The Social Welfare Bureau (IAS) completed its public consultation on the bill in 2012. Iong Kong Io, the then IAS director, said in July last year that the bill had already been drafted, adding the government aimed to put the bill onto the legislative agenda by the end of last year.
