****************************************
     Owing to a system failure, the 1823 hotline service was disrupted in the morning today (March 14). The hotline resumed normal service at 1.30pm after urgent repairs.

     During the period, the voicemail, email, facsimile, "Tell me@1823" mobile application and SMS text services were operational as normal, and Customer Service Officers fully deployed these channels to respond to public enquiries.
