In an industrial accident involving two deaths in the underground pipeline at 1 Austin Road West, West Kowloon, two plumbers, Lau Ho-cheung, 63, and Kwok Gang, 61, were killed by suspected hydrogen sulfide poisoning during the seawater cooling pipe replacement project of the air-conditioning system of the shopping mall of Yuanfang under the MTR and were only discovered the next day. After the families of the two deceased met with representatives of the MTR today (27th), both the Lau family and the Kwok family criticized the mercy plan proposed by the MTR for being insincere.
MTR replied to the Hong Kong 01 enquiry that the MTR Corporation met with the families of two deceased co-workers today to express their deep condolences and understand their needs, hoping to provide appropriate assistance, in order to solve the urgent needs of the families, the company can help the families coordinate contractors and other non-profit organizations to provide financial support to the families for emergency purposes, with the aim of taking care of the current needs of the families. At the same time, the company also proposed arrangements to assist family members in legal matters.

MTR also stated that the company attached great importance to the incident and had set up an investigation team to follow up in real time, including whether the contractor and its subcontractors violated the established safety system when carrying out the works, and to review the company's regulatory mechanism. The Company reiterates its full cooperation with the ongoing criminal and occupational safety and health investigations by the Police and other departments. During the meeting, the MTR Corporation also expressed its determination to fully cooperate with the investigation of the Police Major Crime Unit, so that the Police can complete the investigation as soon as possible and pursue responsibility according to law.

After meeting with MTR today, Lau Ho-cheung's son said that his dissatisfaction with the amount of MTR's compassionate favor was "completely sincere" and was not a proper plan, and neither family could accept the current plan, pending further discussion by MTR, and initially said that there would be a reply within this week. He pointed out that MTR offered to help and the two families would discuss the arrangement. He said that he did not have a reasonable amount of mercy in his mind, but hoped that it could help the future life of the two families, and the unfortunate accident had occurred, "I hope to solve it for two years and three years... Until the judgment is that there is a life assistance", and both families want to bury their father.

Kwok Gang Kee's daughter also believes that the compassionate arrangement is not sincere, pointing out that MTR should fulfill its responsibilities as a large company, saying that "the most important thing is that you can do what you do."

Two workers, Lau Ho-cheung, 63, and Kwok Gangji, 61, entered the underground pipeline at 23 Austin Road West, West Kowloon at 10 a.m. last Saturday (1rd) to carry out the replacement of the seawater cooling pipe of the "Yuanfang" air-conditioning system. Later, at around 4pm, the project manager called another male staff member of "Shuai Jian" to check and the staff left when the pipe entrance and exit were locked.

The family found that they had not returned all night and contacted the company to find out. In the early morning of the next day, the family of the deceased successfully contacted the boss of the second judgment "Shen's", and the other party went to the pipeline to find out, found two three people unconscious, and called the police in shock to expose the tragedy. "Shen" was missing after reporting the case until the police contacted him in the early hours of today (3th) and arrested him.
