The forecast is set fair for Fong who gets to keep his good reputation – and his MOP 80,000 monthly pension – after a lengthy court battle.
Fong Soi Kun
Fong Soi Kun’s pension will be suspended for four years for his failure to fulfil his duties properly over the hoisting of storm warning signals when Super Typhoon Hato pummelled Macau last year.
The Chief Executive has initiated disciplinary procedures against the former director of the Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau Fong Soi Kun, and Florence Leong Ka Cheng, the bureau’s current vice-director.
Raimundo do Rosário, has ordered the commencement of disciplinary procedures to assess the internal workings of the Macau Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau.
The report says that the weather bureau’s hoisting of typhoon signals simply relied on Fong’s personal judgement and decisions.
Chan revoked Fong’s pension announcement request as he had not applied to retire at least 90 days in advance as required by public service regulations. The Pension Fund is under Chan’s portfolio.
