Mainland holding up round-the-clock border opening

Secretary for Security Cheong Kuoc Vá says the Macau authorities are ready to keep the border crossing in the Zhuhai-Macau Cross-border Industrial Zone open all night, but that the mainland authorities are not. Mainlanders working in Macau will eventually be allowed to use the crossing around the clock. At present the crossing is closed from midnight until 7am. Mr Cheong says insufficient manpower is holding up round-the-clock opening, but that he expects the problem to be solved by the beginning of December.
