At the

Precious Blood Order and personal advisor of Sister Wu.

meeting, Sister Leung refused to repeat what she had admitted on

April 5, during the interview with Chan and Fan. Furthermore,

Sister Wu stressed that Sister Leung was attending the meeting

in the capacity of the school supervisor, not the principal, and

therefore she would not answer any questions She also added that

she and all the Managers of the Committee only came to the meeting'

to listen and were not prepared to answer any questions or give

their opinions. The teachers acquiesced and their representatives

started pointing out the financial irregularities. They stated

that the Precious Blood Order should be held fully responsible

for them since the money obtained had all been channelled into the

account of the Order. They went on to say the Order's attitude

of not answering questions and not giving comments could not help

solve the problem. The meeting lasted 3 hours. llowever, the

Mother Superior and her coterie all remained silent.

It must be noted that on the day before this meeting,

i.e. April 10, Sister Leung and a Sister Chau Yiu-ha of the

Precious Blood Order had attempted to tamper with the account books

of the school in the presence of Miss Kwok, the School's Bookkeeper.

It was only under Miss Kwok's strong opposition that the two

Sisters finally conceded not to tamper with the books.
