The Race Discrimination Ordinance, which was enacted in 2008, is expected to be fully implemented around mid 2009. This represents a major step forward on our commitment. “We hope that all members of the community would work together in enhancing racial harmony and racial equality in Hong Kong.” Ends/Sunday, April 5, 2009 |
