Several #HongKong organizations held memorial services in different cities across the #UK to mourn the victims of the #TaiPo Wang Fuk Court fire. youtu.be/p8bM2_g-sn8?...

Journal’s editorial article, published on 2/12/25, claimed that the official response to the fire – which killed at least 159 people – showed “how this once free city is becoming more like mainland #China by the day.” It also said the authorities were “seeking to chill speech related to the fire.”

. #China imposed a national security law on #HongKong in 2020 to crush the protests & stamp out political dissent. Its invocation after the fire in #TaiPo shows how elastic the law is, analysts say, www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/w...

大埔宏福苑大火奪去最少159條人命，31人下落不明。3.3億天價維修的承建商為慳10萬元而採用無阻燃功能的棚網及以發泡膠板封窗，是釀成巨災的表面原因，但 公眾更關注大維修背後的圍標與監管問題。有份成立「全港業主反貪腐反圍標大聯盟」的前立法會議員林卓廷，2017年3月1日在立會發言反圍標的一段舊片近日被網民重溫。有網民嘆八年前已有議員向政府指出圍標問題，惟今天仍未解決；亦有網民感慨真心為港的人反要入獄，令人痛心。 pulsehknews.com/20251206table/

2011年香港推出強制驗樓，滿30年樓齡的樓宇，只要收到屋宇署驗樓令，便要找專業人士驗樓，有問題便要維修，每年抽2000幢。 調查記者W收到第一個求助個案要追溯到2012年，幾位來自九龍城某屋苑、心急如焚的業主告訴W屋苑維修問題處處。當時仍是一個圍標問題未浮面的年代，面對屋苑維修複雜的程序，他們只知道有人隻手遮天，抬高工程價，偷工減料，但愈查愈發覺問題深不見底，實際情況卻是說不清。 黑社會：圍標所賺取的金錢比販毒多 發展到今日，若以宏福苑維修價每幢4000萬去計，恐怕每年已迫近1000億。 www.inmediahk.net/node/%E6%94%...

銷售工業產品逾40年的麥偉強今早在電台節目透露業內情況，指近十多年香港風氣「重視價錢多於質量」，建築業界內「買低品質、不合格的建築材料」，對有人把合格和不合格的棚網混合使用，他不感意外，因為即使是平價用品，承建商喜歡把合格和不合格的建築材料混合使用。 www.inmediahk.net/node/%E6%94%...

The ICAC discovered that someone had purchased 2,300 rolls of substandard protective netting from a local supplier at $54 per roll. This netting was intended to cover 8 buildings. The individuals involved purchased 115 rolls of compliant protective netting from the same supplier at $100 per roll.

They saved: $105,800 HKD (~$13,600 USD) That's the cost of 151 lives (or more)

To further clarify, the current Owners' Corporation opposed the renovation contract from the start and wanted to cancel it but couldn't bcuz it's already signed. While the previous OC was the one that reviewed and signed the contract. Peggy Wong served as consultant for the previous OC

“20 construction netting samples taken from the site of the fatal Tai Po blaze. 7 of them have failed to meet fire safety standards. These nets didn’t meet fire resistance standards, & the Styrofoam boards, that caused the fire to spread so rapidly,” authorities say. #HongKong

The death toll in the deadly blaze that ravaged a Tai Po estate has killed at least 151 people. “The conditions inside [Wang Cheong House] are extremely, extremely bad. It’s a scene of complete devastation,” Lam Man-han said, adding that some bodies had been reduced to ashes. #HongKong

Tai Po, as a large new town, was established in the 1970s during the MacLehose era (starting with the decision to build the Tai Po Industrial Estate). The "Home Ownership Scheme" was also a product of the MacLehose era, & Wang Fuk Court was also decided to be built during that time
