I doubt you would see them covering so many buildings in netting if HK is under British rule (and standards).

This one is typical China cincai standard, very dun care about safety or human life.

not such thing as lower floor units in many modern condos now since the first 10 floors are for parking lots.

older flats / apartments in Malaysia also got cases of fires the past few years.. Luckily affected units are adjacent ones and didn't engulf half the block.

That is one of the reason. The found materials like styrofoam at the windows and the contractor was storing a lot of fire hazard materials all over the buildings due to the renovation

Maybe affected by China's cut cost culture.

Edit:
My mistake, the main con actually won the tender with one of the highest prices.

Highest price doesnt mean wont cut cost , could cut even more cause in order to win with higher price, a lot of money has to channel to someone first to get the project

This video interview whistleblower who earlier engaged the authority multiple times to warn of fire hazard about the apartments renovation, the authorities brushed his warning aside and claimed the project post minimal risks. Heads will roll soon…

Yes - but it didn’t go up overnight. It was there for a long time, same as the flammable seals on the windows etc etc. Many people saw it, were aware, what checks were made by ………… all the stakeholders who had public safety concerns? WHO failed in their responsibilities?
It was a significant contract - @ HKD345m I think - so the investigation of the procurement process and contract agreement will be interesting, and damming. As the residents were paying for it there’s reports on their dissatisfaction with the process and, even before the fire, the outcomes.
Of course everyone, including here, wants it cheaper - I know how MC procurement decisions are fought over tooth and nail, for savings; we’re all tuned now to expect more for less, so it will be good to find out what minimum standards and fire laws were breached.
I’m not familiar with the governance and accountability for this type of building in HK but the list of actors involved will be large I’m sure.
