事件未完結之前其實都好難有一個conclusion。其實我哋可以思考幾個問題。
第一：智商 - 有邊個人會諗到可以用發泡膠來做外牆保護？
第二：程序 - 提出發泡膠之後，該大廈維修公司嘅Management又可以通過？
第三：監管 - 工程應該每一個步驟都有政府嘅Inspector去簽紙。而發泡膠係邊個簽㗎？
可能會有人覺得我提出呢一啲嘢對受影響嘅人都係無補於事，但係其實香港咁多年歷史係經歷過晒咁多意外。應該有晒監管同埋Protocol。依啲低級嘅錯誤係唔應該發生。可惜就係依個政權，要推翻晒所有嘢。令到香港人要重新經歷過晒一啲災難。
呢一啲又關唔關政治事呢？
God bless Hong Kong

The fire in Hong Kong isn’t an accident, but a result of corruption that ties with DAB, a party directly under Beijing, construction company and the Hong Kong government directly. Even though residents have been complaining for years, there was no response from the government, resulting in 100s of deaths. This is all on the incapable, corrupted government of Hong Kong.

Bamboo becomes the Scapegoat this time!
Everyone #HongKongers expected the #HKGov would find a scapegoat way before the fire was put out. What surprising was that this time it wasn’t a person, but the bamboo.
The “Mandatory Inspection Scheme” in Hong Kong, initiated by the government is the very reason that caused this tragedy.
To put it short:
1 - Government requires home owners to remake the buildings wall.
2 - Pro-Beijing & construction agencies infiltrated Home Owners Corporation.
3 - Hire construction companies with extremely high price.
4 - all materials and workers not meeting safety standards are purchased from China.
5 - $$ goes to China.

Other than firefighters and medics, the first people that went to help are local citizens everywhere from the city bringing food and their own supplies. However, to the #HKGov took all the credits. They called the cops to drive those volunteers away and the “Care Team” from the government takes pictures in front of those supplies that belongs to the volunteers. This is awfully disgusting.

Silencing HongKongers
National Security Police arrested a student who started a petition for 4 demands. Silencing what the victims and #HongKongers truly needs to protect this corrupted system.
The 4 demands has nothing to do with National Security:
1 - continue to support the victims
2 - independent investigation
3 - review the inspection system
4 - prosecution for the government officials who are in charge.
It clearly shows that the true purpose of #nationalsecuritylaw is to undermine the right of the citizens of Hong Kong, it has nothing shoot protecting the country.

Volunteers Continue to Get Arrested
Normally, you would think that the Police or Anti-Corruption would be arresting government officials or contractors who are related to the #taipofire, but under #CCP, it is quite the opposite. 2 volunteers are arrested. Kenneth Cheung, former Tuen Muen District Council, was arrested by #NationalSecurity Police for inciting hatred. He incited hatred by handling supplies for the victims.
Another female volunteer, known as Tsing, who had been handling supplies was also arrested.
This is how the Hong Kong Government handle this tragedy. They want all the victims and those who help them to be silence.
