"Woo, te #ICAC head, said their corruption investigation had found protective nets tt fell below #fire #safety #standards at #WangFuk Court.. in July, a typhoon damaged nets at te complex. Suspects bought replacement nets which didn't meet fire resistance standards.. qty purchased was enough to encase 8 housing blocks.. suspects used “extremely cunning methods” to evade te #government’s checks. “They put nets tt didn't meet safety standards in places tt only firefighters can reach"🤦‍♂️ #greed
