Description Michael Tsang 2016-04-24 12:50:53 UTC
In the current holidays file, only the "statutory holidays" are considered as public holidays in Hong Kong, but not other remaining generals. There are 17 general holidays each year, but only 12 statutory holiday.

General holidays in Hong Kong are the holidays where banks, and businesses in general, do not operate. These are shown in red on calendars. They are called "public holidays" in local usage.

Statutory holidays are the holidays where employee, by law, is entitled to take a leave. If the employer does really require the employee to work on those holidays, the employer must give a make-up holiday within 60 days. However, no such requirement exists for other holidays not in the list of statutory holidays, which are:
- Buddha's Birthday
- Easter (Friday, Saturday and Monday)
- Boxing Day
In addition, the statutory holiday on Christmas may be optionally replaced by winter solstice.

However, these 5 holidays are not listed as public holidays in the holidays file, which I think it is not appropriate. People in Hong Kong is expected to see all 17 general holidays as public holidays, consistent with local usage.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open KOrganizer
2. Open the settings page
3. Change the holiday region to either Chinese (Hong Kong SAR) or English (Hong Kong SAR)

Actual Results:  
Some holidays like Easter is not shown as a holiday

Expected Results:  
They should be shown as holidays

the holidays file for Hong Kong is complicated.
I'll email it to you if you want to help me.

Oh, there are 2 such files: 1 in English and 1 in Chinese
