Businesses in Hong Kong and Macau should give more support to social service organisations, Ernest Chui Wing-tak, an associate professor of social work at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), said yesterday.

Chui made the remarks on the sidelines of a social work seminar at the Macau Polytechnic Institute (IPM) in Zape.
