Wang Fuk Court

• Nov 26, 2025 — Fire erupts at Wang Fuk Court, Tai Po.
• Nov 28, 2025 — Blaze finally extinguished after more than 43 hours.
• Casualties — At least 159 dead, 79 injured, 31 missing.
• Immediate aftermath — arrests of contractors and workers, ICAC probe announced, scaffolding scapegoat narrative pushed.

• Compliant mesh installed only in areas inspectors could access.Non‑compliant netting used everywhere else, burning rapidly and trapping heat.
• Styrofoam insulation added fuel, creating toxic smoke.
• Disabled safeguards: Fire alarms turned off, exit doors compromised, workers smoking on site.
• Rigged contracts: Renovation worth billions awarded to highest bidder despite safety concerns.
• Coerced seniors: Elderly residents pressured into paying over HK$100,000 each for “renovation fees.”
• Cover‑up: Government narrative blamed bamboo scaffolding, even though it remained intact and unburnt.

• Seniors forced into debt and danger.
• Residents trapped without alarms or escape routes.
• Families devastated, survivors silenced.
• Fraudsters exploited grief with fake relief fundraisers.

• Arrests: Contractors and workers detained, but deeper corruption left untouched.
• ICAC probe: Framed as a narrow graft investigation, avoiding systemic accountability.
• Narrative control: Scapegoating scaffolding, suppressing calls for independent inquiry.
• Pre‑emptive removal: Other sites rushed to strip netting before fire was even out, signaling foreknowledge.

• Scaffolding still standing, unburnt.
• Netting stripped from other sites mid‑fire.
• Visible proof contradicting official spin.

This fire was not an accident. It was the inevitable outcome of systemic corruption, deliberate deception, and government suppression. The truth lies not in the official narrative, but in the testimony of residents and HKers naming those responsible.
