摘要
The MTR Corporation Ltd had through a press briefing by Mr Chew Tai Chong, its projects director, on 15 April 2014, announced that the opening of the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link would be delayed by two years to the end of 2017. Despite the potential significance on its financial results, the company surprisingly did not make any announcement as regards price-sensitive information. This article argues that the failure to do so placed the company and its officers in breach of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap 571) and that any failure by the Securities and Futures Commission to act will not bode well for the enforcement of securities laws in Hong Kong.
