【明報專訊】LAST February, an arson attack on an MTR train resulted in one death and nineteen injuries. Back then the MTR pledged in all sincerity to do everything it could to help the victims. But since then, the MTR has offered no assistance apart from partnering with charities to raise funds for the wounded, while no insurance benefits have yet to be paid to victims. Some of them criticised the MTR for refusing to shoulder its responsibility. The MTR earns over $10 billion per year. But the protection it offers to passengers is disproportionately insufficient, and it has used its "full compliance with related procedure for handling claims" as an excuse for passing the buck. While the MTR has a moral obligation to provide more assistance for the wounded, the government should interfere and review the mechanism for compensation payment to ensure that people will receive proportionate assistance when they suffer a similar accident.
