The Legislative Council calls for strict measures in response to corruption scandal at the Anderson Road construction site

May 24, 2025 – (Hong Kong) A corruption scandal was created in which the construction site in the Anderson Road in Kwun Tong is involved. The building department reveals irregularities such as inadequate steel rods, diameter under the requirements and the badger of steel rods. The Independent Commission against Corruption (ICAC) has arrested 10 people who are connected to the location and accuses of captivating building superiors with gifts such as red packages, Mooncake vouchers and nightclub entertainment to relax the supervision of steel reinforcement work. The ICAC described this incident as “unusual”.

In response to these revelations, Lo Wai-Kweok, a member of the Legislative Council, condemned actions as stupid and demanded strict measures. The government rejected the renewal of the aggressive building company Limited and removed it from the list of general building contractors. Lo suggests that the reintroduction of the three public housing projects in the context of aggressive construction delays can lead to delays in order to propose direct state contracts in order to maintain trust in the construction industry in Hong Kong.

Stephen Lee, Vice President of the Hong Kong Construction Association, emphasized that even with contract contracts, the contractual responsibility generally lies with the main contractor. He emphasized the voluntary nature of the evaluation system for local staff who are involved in security incidents, which include managers and superiors. Lee was committed to using technology such as electronic signatures in connection with blockchain to record time stamps, prevent fraudulent practices and improve supervision.

Lawrence NG, President of the Hong Kong Construction Sub-Contractors Association, repeated the feeling that every compromise for building security is unbearable regardless of the structural effects. He suggested that if the industry perceives security standards as excessively strictly strictly strictly, the dialogue with the responsible authorities should be pursued instead of using illegal links. NG emphasized that people who are involved in the approval of records in connection with industrial accidents are not permitted to pursue new companies together, and private developers should avoid risky attitudes.
