Former Committee Member Exposes Proxy Vote Abuse at Wang Fuk Court Ahead of Deadly Fire Investigation
Former management committee member Jason Kong Cheung-fat exposes proxy vote abuse at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, where a November 2025 fire killed 168 people — the deadliest in Hong Kong since 1948. The HK$336 million renovation contract was awarded to Prestige Construction and Engineering in January 2024 after 570 votes were cast at a meeting attended by only 293 people, with homeowners forced to pay up to HK$180,000 per flat within six months.
