An
unexpected turn |
 |
Although Hui Hon staff had revealed
their modus operandi, the two Hui Hon ex-directors
who had masterminded the scam were loud in their denials.
Mr Leung said, ¡§ Between May 1997 and January 1998, before
the Yuen Chau Kok works commenced, the site agent
had already worked for the ex-directors
of Hui Hon in another company which was named ¡§Hui Hon¡¨
in English but had a different Chinese name (´fº~). His
job was to supervise the foundation works at the Central
and Wanchai Pumping Station and Screening Plants. The
site agent
had also been involved in the short piling scam of the
above-mentioned site.¡¨
¡§After being sentenced¡¨, Mr Leung recalls, ¡§the site agent
told us through his lawyer that he was willing to testify
against the two Hui Hon ex-directors
concerning the Yuen Chau Kok case. To us, it was crucial
that the two main culprits be brought to book. Now, thanks
to this unexpected turn of events, we could make our proposal
to the Department of Justice.¡¨
