Waiting for the weekly nightmare of employers of foreign domestic helpers to return to Hong Kong this morning (11th), the Penny's Bay Foreign Helper Quarantine Center will open at 9 o'clock this morning for reservations for rooms from October 29th to November 4th.
Just like last Monday (4th) for the first "one-week appointment", 350 rooms have stopped accepting appointments within 3 minutes, that is, they will be rushed to finish in 3 minutes.
A foreign domestic helper sent an additional staff to 30 people to rob the room today, but the result was not satisfactory: "Only one room was booked."
The Hong Kong government announced the opening of 800 units of the Penny's Bay Quarantine Center for quarantine by foreign domestic helpers. However, the supply of rooms exceeded demand. The "daily looting" arrangement was even disturbed by the public. The Bureau of Labor and Welfare stopped the appointment inspection process and reopened last Monday. The system will display the rooms available for reservation from October 22nd to 28th, with a daily quota of 50. From 9 a.m. every Monday thereafter, the system will display a new round of rooms available for reservation and so on.
At 9 o'clock last Monday, the government-designed reservation website immediately congested traffic. About 6 minutes later, the "Start reservation" option on the reservation page has been grayed out, which means it can no longer be selected.
Today, 350 rooms are sold faster. The chairman of the Hong Kong Employment Agency Association, Zhang Jiemin, said that the company arranged 25 employees to rob a room last week and robbed 2 rooms. Today, it increased the number of people to 30, but the room was robbed in 3 minutes. After that, he could only book one room: "The company has 350 customers waiting. The government is really trying to get us (the intermediary)."
About 3 minutes after the appointment system was opened today, the "Start Appointment" option on the appointment page has been grayed out, which means it can no longer be selected.

Zhang Jiemin: Don’t point out that the government wants everyone to work hard once a week
Zhang Jiemin revealed that at a roundtable meeting this Friday, he will directly make suggestions to the Secretary for Labor and Welfare, Luo Zhiguang, hoping that the government can imitate the real hotel reservation method. For example, it will be open for six months at a time for reservations, and the daily quota will be maintained at 50: "Yijia wants to book the 8th day or next month, I can't do anything. Don't tell me that I need everyone to work hard once a week."
