Question

Accepted Answer

Richard Li Offered RM5.74 Million Beyond Medical Expenses

Hong Kong tycoon Richard Li offered HK$10 million, equivalent to RM5.74 million, to the family of Mo Li, a dancer injured in the Mirror concert accident, in addition to covering all medical costs. This offer was made by Li, chairman of Pacific Century Regional Developments Limited, the parent company of the concert organiser, during a visit to Mo last week. However, Mo's father, Derek, has rejected the financial offer for the time being.
Rejection of Monetary Offer

Derek stated that it was premature to accept the financial aid until the party responsible for the incident is identified and appropriate actions are taken. He acknowledged that the organiser had committed to covering his son's treatment expenses. Mo is currently undergoing treatment, with future plans contingent on his progress.
Context of the Incident

The offer comes in the wake of a serious accident during a Mirror concert on July 28, which resulted in severe injuries to Mo and two other dancers. An investigation into the mishap identified several contributing factors, including the use of a substandard wire cord, issues with the screen's weight, an improperly installed rope guard, and a snapped screw.
Industry Response and Support

Following the incident, several Hong Kong celebrities, including singers Aaron Kwok and Sammi Cheng, and Hins Cheung, extended well wishes for the injured dancers' recovery. Aaron Kwok also emphasised the importance of prioritising the safety of all stage performers within the industry. Hong Kong actor Louis Koo, president of the Hong Kong Performing Artistes Guild, appealed to social media users to refrain from sharing video clips of the accident.
