As a long term 'island dweller',(over 20 years) I hadn't given safety on the ferries much thought.
But after the tragedy, and the completely 'mind boggling array' of serious errors from not only the staff of HKKF, but also the Marine Department and also the ship builders. Not to mention that the tragic loss of 39 people, which should not have happened.I am really angry that NOTHING seems to have changed.
Many more revelations and the pathetic apology from the Head of the MD.
Then assurances from the MD and HKKF, that they have learnt from their mistakes,...... ????
But nowadays, (To me) is not only about the audacity about flouting the law, but it's completely 'taking the piss' (to use one of my favourite English expressions) to continue this way of working.
Many people are asking for the Chief of the MD to step down. He failed in his job. Don't get that either... he should be fired!!! As should all the other staff that were so complacent (and continue to be) to lie and didn't do their job. A loss of lives that should not have happened.
As a long term resident I have seen 'flouting of the law' just a basic part of HK life. But after November 1st last year, I have changed my way of thinking.
I'm not happy with the attitude of the ferry company .... and I'm not happy that they are still blocking 'gangplanks'
