Sun Yuk-han Responds to Wang Fuk Court Report, Says Staying in Post at Chief Executive's Request

Secretary for Labour and Welfare Sun Yuk-han again apologised to fire victims over the Independent Committee report on the Tai Po Wang Fuk Court fire, saying he would stay in his post and push reforms at the Chief Executive's request, and did not directly answer whether he was considering resigning. He said the Labour Department had implemented the report's recommendations, and that about three months into the full site smoking ban, more than 6,900 inspections had been carried out and 83 fixed penalty notices issued, 27 of them based on information from members of the public.
