Yesterday (9/7), due to the followingmath of Typhoon Haikui, Hong Kong received its highest rainfall in 140 years, and severe flooding was reported in various places. Hong Kong Legislative Council member Zhang Xinyu criticized on Facebook today (9/8) that the MTR Wong Tai Sin Station tunnel was extremely flooded, and the senior management actually asked many frontline employees to go into the tunnel to clear the water when the rain was at its worst, only to reveal He has no regard for the safety of his employees.
According to online videos, water poured into the station at the exit of Wong Tai Sin MTR station last night. In the morning, the exit of Wong Tai Sin Center was almost flooded. According to Zhang Xinyu’s Facebook photo, several MTR employees wearing helmets were seen with water up to their necks, inspecting equipment, or cleaning it with brooms.

Netizens criticized, “According to the official position, if there are no dead people, nothing will happen.” Others said, “Everyone is responsible for overthrowing the party iron.”
Zhang Xinyu, who once worked for the MTR and was the vice chairman of the Legislative Council’s Railway Matters Subcommittee, criticized on Facebook that in the early morning of the 8th, he received a request for help from a frontline employee who collapsed and immediately contacted the MTR senior management to request intervention.

Zhang Xinyu said that employees should not be required to enter dangerously flooded tunnels unless they want to save lives and prevent greater harm.
The Hong Kong Federation of Railway Unions issued a statement on the 8th stating that it had confirmed with MTR management that the photos of MTR employees working in tunnels with water as deep as their chests were true, but management claimed that sufficient protective equipment and support had been provided.
In response, the union stated that colleagues might not be seen wearing any protective equipment in the photo and called on colleagues to pay attention to personal safety at work.
