Rail giant under pressure amid scandal in which subcontractor allegedly substituted tiles used for Tung Chung East station project
The MTR Corporation is facing growing pressure to investigate a subcontractor’s procurement of Chinese-made tiles for a rail project, instead of the contract-specified German ones, with a lawmaker describing the controversy as merely “the tip of the iceberg”.
The rail operator confirmed on Monday that it had received complaints following a media report alleging that the contract for the Tung Chung East station project originally required the use of German-made “YTong” tiles.
The subcontractor reportedly supplied a similarly named product–“Beijing YiTong” – which is believed to be manufactured in mainland China.
