Hong Kong’s second-largest public housing provider, the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS), has been fined HK$8,000 for failing to keep fire alarms functional at Kwun Tong Garden Estate. A blaze in October 2021 killed a 52-year-old man, with firefighters discovering a faulty alarm during their response. The HKHS pleaded guilty to 'failing to keep fire service installation in efficient working order' and was urged to improve its supervision of fire safety contractors.
