Overview
- An undated Will Power Architects slideshow told residents Prestige had no Labour Department prosecutions, according to documents reported by Reuters.
- Official records show Prestige was fined HK$309,000 for 15 workplace safety breaches between 2016 and 2019, including issues with scaffolding and electrical work.
- Prestige won a HK$330 million refurbishment contract after receiving a high bid grade from Will Power among 57 bidders, and the approved cost later more than doubled as the scope expanded.
- Authorities say at least 159 people died in the Nov. 26 Wang Fuk Court blaze and have identified non‑compliant scaffolding mesh and highly flammable foam boards used during renovation.
- Police and the ICAC are pursuing manslaughter and corruption inquiries, with arrests reported of at least three people linked to Prestige and four from Will Power.
