I’ve seen the Wang Fuk fire variously described in int’l media as HK’s “worst fire since WW2” or even “in more than 100 years.”
The death toll is still sadly rising but a quick factcheck for now: both the 1948 Wing On godown fire and 1947 SS Sai On fire were, as things currently stand, more deadly.

I gave more than what I do an average (Sun)day. And a lot of other people did too.
Not saying that HKJC charity giving is not helpful.
I am just not impressed with a private club giving a token amount to maintain monopoly on gambling in Hong Kong and property across the region.

Nice gesture indeed.
But given they make about HKD300bn per year, we are talking about a relatively small amount

Sadly, none of the candidates in my district appear to have mentioned it in their platform.

Yes, got some really bad ones recently.
But this one is definitely the worse one by most aspect.

Never met the lad, but saw the name popping up there and there, and was wondering, given his role at a big 4 selling projects to Private banks and Wealth Management firms, whether his name was helping him.
