Gov't to decide suitable penalty

March 20, 2019

The Government will determine an appropriate penalty for the service disruption on the Mass Transit Railway due to a train collision, Secretary for Transport & Housing Frank Chan says.

 

Speaking to reporters today, Secretary for Transport & Housing Frank Chan said the Government will look into the existing mechanism for penalties.

 

“I have to say when this mechanism was being devised, they might not have considered such a case.

 

“Therefore, we need to look into the seriousness of the incident and also the appropriateness of the penalty in due course.”
