A construction boss directly involved in work on Hong Kong’s scandal-hit rail line has backed suggestions that shoddy work on the multibillion-dollar project could be far more widespread than already admitted.

Jason Poon Chuk-Hung, director of the subcontractor China Technology Corporation, also called for parts of the platforms at the Hum Hom station of the Sha Tin-Central link to be torn up for inspection, and claimed he tried to raise the alarm after personally witnessing corner-cutting.
