Wang Fuk Court administrator to hold online meetings with displaced residents
Residents demand answers on finances, insurance claims and renovation contracts following deadly fire at Hong Kong estate
The government-appointed administrator of Wang Fuk Court, the Hong Kong estate devastated by a deadly fire last November, will hold two online meetings with displaced residents this month after 240 flat owners threatened legal action in a petition.
Hop On Management Company announced on Wednesday that the Zoom meetings will take place from 7pm to 9pm next Tuesday and from 2pm to 4pm on May 20, prompting complaints from residents about the virtual format and its limitations.
Participation is limited to a maximum of two owners or their representatives per flat, on a first-come, first-served basis.
“Audio recording and photography are strictly prohibited during the meeting. Participants may not upload or distribute any information regarding the proceedings without prior authorisation from the organisation,” the announcement stated.
Registered owners will receive a confirmation text message before the meeting, with the Zoom password sent through the same channel.
Jason Kong, a 65-year-old resident of Wang Yan House, said the briefing should be held in person with so many unresolved issues yet to be addressed.
