Legislators on Friday approved an additional HK$10 billion in funding for the troubled Shatin-to-Central rail link, after pro-government councillors voted down all motions by their rivals.
The chair of Legco's Finance Committee, Chan Kin-por stopped legislators from asking more questions from 4 pm, saying they were repetitive and the item had been discussed for a long time.
At the end, the funding application was passed - with 30 votes for, and 21 against.
The first phase of the new rail link, between Tai Wai and Kai Tak, was opened in February, while the remaining section to Hung Hum is expected to open next year.
The cross-harbour section, meanwhile, is slated for service in 2022.
