In email sent on Tuesday, Hop On Management cites ‘lack of information’ in owners’ earlier petition for a meeting, without providing further details
2-MIN READ2-MIN ListenEdith LinPublished: 4:32pm, 8 Apr 2026The administrator of Hong Kong’s fire-ravaged Wang Fuk Court has stated it will hold a briefing for residents in early May but has turned down a request from over 300 owners to convene a general meeting, citing a lack of “information” that complied with legal requirements.
According to an email viewed by the South China Morning Post on Wednesday, Hop On Management, a Chinachem Group subsidiary appointed by the government as the Tai Po housing estate’s interim administrator, did not mention what sort of information was lacking, nor did it say what the “legal requirements” were.
“We have conducted a detailed review and consultation with legal advisers and find the email you sent on March 15, saying you had collected owners’ concerns through an online form, did not provide other information,” the email in Cantonese, addressed to a resident representative and dated April 7, read.
“Regarding [another] email on March 22, as the information you provided does not comply with the relevant statutory requirements, we will not be arranging an owners’ meeting at this stage.”
Residents signed an online petition in mid-March, demanding that Hop On convene an owners’ meeting to address multiple issues, such as the use of remaining renovation funds, and the progress and distribution of insurance payouts after the fire that destroyed all but one of the estate’s eight buildings last November.
The catastrophic blaze killed 168 people and displaced about 5,000 residents.
