The blunder involving Tung Wah College (TWC) in Kowloon on Wednesday sparked angry complaints online for briefly raising the hopes of candidates who had yet to receive university offers, only to dash them hours later. A spokeswoman for the institution confirmed the blunder and apologised for the inconvenience caused in a reply to the South China Morning Post. “This morning, Tung Wah College intended to send an email to Jupas applicants who had been accepted by the college, reminding them to confirm their acceptance and pay the deposit before the deadline. “Upon learning of the incident, the college immediately took action and sent a clarification email to those affected.” The spokeswoman said the institution took the incident very seriously and had immediately established a crisis management team to follow up on the matter.
