香港物业管理行业领袖表示保安人员短缺高达25%，为九龙湾富丽花园雇用31名内地保安辩护。该屋苑业主立案法团通过政府劳工计划招聘这些工人，引发劳工议员及网民批评。
香港物业管理行业领袖表示，公司正面临高达25%的保安人员短缺，他们为九龙湾富丽花园雇用内地工人的决定辩护。该屋苑业主立案法团上周在社交媒体宣布，将通过政府劳工计划雇用31名来自中国内地的保安。
该增强补充劳工计划允许企业在本地招聘困难时进口低技能工人。此举引发劳工界立法会议员Penda Pang Ka-kui及网民批评，许多人担心移民工人会抢走本地就业机会。部分网民质疑该屋苑是否真正难以招聘本地保安，或薪酬是否缺乏吸引力。
然而，业主立案法团对《南华早报》表示，此招聘“必要”，因为该屋苑至少四年以来一直面临保安短缺。香港物业管理公司协会及香港九龙劳工工会联合会等团体也参与讨论。
物业管理公司协会的Johnnie Chan Chi-kau及劳工部门的Lam Chun-sing等人士提及此问题，但未提供进一步细节。
