> Hong Kong’s government released an investigation report on the major fire at Wang Fuk Court and announced accountability measures and reforms. Chief Executive John Lee apologized, saying the government had decided which senior official should bear political responsibility. It plans criminal proceedings against those involved and linked companies, and investigations of civil servants. Proposed changes include banning bid-rigging in building maintenance, creating a support bureau and central data system, and revamping complaints procedures.
