The Hong Kong government has suspended the award ceremony honoring a recently retired logistics official until the completion of a disciplinary investigation into a recent bottled water procurement scandal. The administration announced the decision on Tuesday evening following inquiries regarding the official’s attendance at the 2025 honour presentation at Government House on Saturday. The official’s previous role within the department responsible for water distribution has been identified as a key point of scrutiny. The government stated that the investigation’s findings will determine whether the award can proceed. The postponement is a result of the ongoing investigation’s progress.
