Tang Ping-keung Says 'I Am Not Important' on Wang Fuk Court Fire Accountability as Bid-Rigging Criminalisation Proposals Unveiled Same Day

Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung apologised to the public over last November's fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po and, responding on accountability, said "I am not important, society, Hong Kong and the country are what matter". The same day he unveiled proposals to criminalise bid-rigging, with a maximum penalty of 10 years' imprisonment and a HK$10 million fine, and to set up a joint task force of police, the ICAC and the Competition Commission, with the aim of submitting them to LegCo for approval in April.
