Until such time as regulations are drawn up by the Authority, the regulations relating to the schemes and terms and conditions of service in STB and TAS shall continue to apply to every person transferred to the service of the Authority under subsection (1) as if he were still in the service of STB or TAS, as the case may be.
(3)
Where any person who is transferred to the service of the Authority under this section is a contributor under the Widows’ and Orphans’ Pension Act (Cap. 58) he shall for the purposes of that Act continue to make contributions under that Act as if he had not been transferred to the service of the Authority and for the purposes of that Act his service with the Authority shall be deemed to be service with the Government.

the Authority shall be liable to reimburse to the Government such portion of any gratuity, pension or allowance payable to such person or his dependants or his legal personal representatives on his retirement, death or otherwise leaving the service of the Authority as the same shall bear to the proportion which the aggregate amount of his pensionable emoluments during his service with TAS and the Authority bears to the aggregate amount of his pensionable emoluments during his service under the Government, TAS and the Authority; and
such person shall not be entitled to claim any benefits under the Pensions Act (Cap. 55) on the ground that he has been retired from the service of TAS on account of abolition or reorganisation of office in consequence of the incorporation of the Authority.
