The Hong Kong government has postponed the presentation of a prestigious award to a recently retired logistics official until the conclusion of a disciplinary investigation. The award, recognizing exceptional contributions to the department’s work, was initially planned for Saturday’s ceremony at Government House. The administration stated this action is necessary as media inquiries focus on the recent bottled water procurement scandal. A preliminary assessment of the investigation’s progress will determine whether the official can attend the event. The government has indicated a commitment to thoroughly address the allegations surrounding the scandal.
