• 'Govt likely to announce MTR probe soon'

Engineering sector lawmaker Lo Wai-kwok said on Monday that he believes the government is likely to announce the setting-up of a probe headed by a judge to look into the corner-cutting scandal at the MTR's Hung Hom Station.

It has been revealed that some steel bars supporting a platform for the upcoming Shatin-Central rail link were cut short to hide the fact they had not been fitted properly.

Apart from a retired judge, Lo believes the committee should also include an engineer that is familiar with the technical aspects of the project.

“Because we’re talking about quite technical issues, something related to the construction procedures, quality control system, what really happened during the construction of that particular part of the project etc. Therefore, a professional, particularly a professional engineer who really knows the industry well, is an important member,” he said.
