Owners of fire-hit Tai Po homes frustrated by agenda as key meeting gets under way Meeting is being held via live broadcast at community centres in Tai Po, Tin Shui Wai, Kai Tak and Wah Kwai. Homeowners of a fire-hit Hong Kong estate who waited months for an extraordinary general meeting have expressed disappointment that its agenda excludes a crucial building examination report from last November’s deadly blaze. Hop On Management Company, the government-appointed administrator of Wang Fuk Court, arranged the meeting with flat owners on Sunday to discuss items including reports on the progress of the handover from former incorporated owners and the latest situation with Wang Chi House. The building was the only one of the eight towers spared in the blaze that killed 168 people last November. The meeting is being held via live broadcast at community centres in Tai Po, Tin Shui Wai, Kai Tak and Wah Kwai. Toby Wong, a Wang Tai House resident in his thirties attending the meeting at the Tai Po Community Centre, said he was disappointed to find some items on the agenda proposed by residents excluded “after six months of waiting for a meeting to be convened.” [Image text:] 9 THE TRUTH ABOUT LYING
