******************************************************************************************

The Transport Department (TD) today (March 24) said that it has been fully co-operating with the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) in an investigation into a suspected deception case involving staff of a designated car testing centre. The eligibility of the testing centre concerned to provide vehicle examination services has been revoked in June 2024, while the eligibility of the persons concerned of the testing centre to serve as the responsible person and approved car testers has also been revoked.

A spokesman for the TD said that it has rendered full assistance during the investigation and has immediately implemented a series of measures to stamp out malpractices. The TD has strengthened strict monitoring of the operations of testing centres. All vehicle examiners are required to undergo the TD's regular training and comply with the Government's vehicle examination requirements. The TD will proactively take forward the ICAC's corruption prevention advice and enhance staff training to heighten their awareness of integrity and conduct.

In addition, the TD stressed that it attaches great importance to staff integrity and conduct. Any violation of laws or regulations will be handled seriously in accordance with the law and referred to law enforcement agencies for follow-up investigations.
