陳嘉信授勳｜原獲頒銀紫荊 周六授勳典禮「被缺席」 政府：購水紀律調查未有結果
Chan Ka-shun, the former Director of Government Logistics who was embroiled in a controversy over the government being duped in a water purchase, was included in this July’s honours list and awarded the Silver Bauhinia Star. The investiture ceremony will be held on Saturday (15th). In response to media enquiries today (11th), a government spokesperson said a disciplinary inquiry into the drinking-water procurement incident was under way. Pending its outcome, Chan Ka-shun would not be included in the attendance list for the investiture ceremony, and the government had informed him.
捲入政府買水被呃風波的前政府物流服務署署長陳嘉信，今年七月已在授勳名單內，獲頒授銀紫荊星章，頒授典禮周六（15日）舉行。不過，政府發言人今（11日） 回應傳媒查詢指，正就採購飲用水事件作紀律調查，未有結果前，勳銜頒授典禮出席名單，將不包陳嘉信，政府已知會了他。
