He criticized that he did not know the current mechanism. What is the standard, and it fails to meet the most needy employers.
He suggested that a "points system" could be used to allocate rooms. For example, employers who apply for a longer time and need to take care of the elderly can get more points, and then allocate rooms according to the points and order.
