Hong Kong leader John Lee Ka-chiu says the government will pursue accountability after faulty lifts are found at the redeveloped Queen Mary Hospital block. Lee tells reporters that he has asked the Development Bureau to thoroughly investigate the misalignment, and to submit a report within one month.
Both outlets describe the issue as a problem linked to construction and installation work, with lifts and their shafts installed in a way that is not aligned properly. Lee also says the lifts must be corrected swiftly.
The reporting focuses on Lee’s instruction to investigate and assign responsibility rather than detailing specific technical causes or identifying particular contractors at this stage. The South China Morning Post adds that Lee’s order includes holding both construction firms and government personnel accountable, based on a preliminary briefing provided to him by the bureau.
