Transcript of remarks by STH
****************************
Reporter: Would the Government impose any penalty on the MTR? Are you going to stick to the current penalty mechanism?
Secretary for Transport and Housing: Certainly, we have to observe the existing mechanism in terms of penalty for the incident. At the same time I have to say, in those days 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 appropriateness of penalty in due course.
