MTR (00066) Shatin to Central Line Project Issues Case Reviewed by the Department of Justice
In the MTR (00066) Shatin-to-Central Line Hung Hom Station project case, the Department of Justice submitted a review to the Magistrates Court on the penalty. The government stated that it will take appropriate recovery actions in accordance with the project management agreement with the MTR Corporation; the Buildings Department will also refer the case to the Contractors Disciplinary Committee for disciplinary proceedings. The government spokesperson also pointed out that some people who are not familiar with prosecution work have repeatedly made false accusations in disregard of the facts and made unreasonable attacks on the independent investigation committee, misleading the public. The government must directly denounce their mistakes and set the record straight. The government emphasized that the authorities have made comprehensive and serious follow-ups on ensuring the quality of the project, the safety of station operations, and the accountability of the incident. It reiterated that the investigation and prosecution of the SCL project are still in progress, and further prosecutions cannot be ruled out in the future. . In 2018, the MTR Shatin to Central Line Hung Hom Station project was revealed that the steel bars of the machine room floor were cut short or not fully screwed into the screw caps. The government subsequently voted against the general contractor “Leighton Construction”. Leighton was in Kowloon City last Tuesday. The Magistrates’ Court pleaded guilty to a summons charge of gross deviation from building plans and was fined HK$40,000. (BC)#MTR#沙中线#Review
