HKATC Why do we need so many TWR controllers if we already have a long queue?

Could anyone tell me the reason why do we have to attend TWR as our 1st controller rating? While there are already so many TWR rated staff. Will it not just creates a bottle neck for TWR but also a longer delay for ER and the later on radar rating?
Will it be more cost effective and easier for manpower arrangement if we can do it in 2 separated streams: either TWR or ER? If the ultimate goal is dividing controllers into TWR or ER streams anyway?
Any comments?
