Exclamation PAL HK: Aborted takeoff...in a taxiway!?

Haven't gotten much hard facts on this but I heard from the grapevine here that a PAL Airbus330 or 340 announced over the radio in Hongkong that it was aborting the takeoff...because it was lined up on the taxiway!! HK authorities have asked the Phil ATO to investigate this and to shed some light on how this could have happened.

Let's try to dig this up 'coz the company concerned has had too many safety violations unreported. The incident in Guam never made it in the papers.
