“The [Human Resources] ministry has proposed to amend the Employment Act and we definitely welcome effort and thank ministry for it. But we would like to push further and say we could do better. “Three days is not enough for father. The reason we are proposing or would like to see it to be seven days is because fathers want to play a role in childbirth,” said Yu, adding that many who have signed and commented on the petition were men.
