宏福苑五級火｜民間記者會取消 廖成利被國安警約見：要恰如其份個別表達自己立場
Democratic Party urban planner Stanley Wing Fai Ng, Association for Democracy and People’s Livelihood member Bruce Sing Lee Liu, and Lee Ting-fung and others had been due to hold a “Civilian Press Conference on Hong Kong’s High-rise Building Maintenance Policy” this afternoon (the 2nd), but said this morning that the press conference had to be cancelled “because a department gave notification”. The chairperson of the Association for Democracy and People’s Livelihood and lawyer Bruce Sing Lee Liu, who had been due to attend the press conference, was asked to meet national security police at 1 p.m. and left Yuen Long Police Station shortly before 4 p.m. He said he could not disclose the content of the meeting because of a confidentiality agreement, and said the Association for Democracy and People’s Livelihood would “appropriately” put forward livelihood improvement proposals on social issues. Asked whether it could hold another “civilian press conference”, he said his initial view was that “all civic groups should, appropriately and individually, express their own positions”.
民主黨城市規劃師吳永輝、民協廖成利和李庭豐等人士，原定在今日（2日） 下午召開「香港高樓維修政策民間記者會」，但今早指「因有部門通知，記者會需要取消」。原定出席記招的民協主席、律師廖成利，下午一時被國安警「約見」，近四時離開元朗警署。他指基於保密協議不能公開會面內容，指民協會「恰如其份」就社會事件提出民生改善建議；被問到能否再召開「民間記者會」，他就說初步睇法是「所有民間團體，大家要恰如其份地，個別自己表達自己嘅立場」。

The Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong issued a “solemn statement” concerning Peggy Pik Kiu Wong and the Wang Fuk Court incident, responding to various discussions in society in recent days. The DAB said its members had been subjected to “slander, smears and false rumours” online. Regarding the Wang Fuk Court incident, the DAB said: “If, following a comprehensive and impartial investigation by the departments, any DAB member, including Peggy Pik Kiu Wong, is confirmed to have engaged in illegal conduct, we will show no leniency and support stringent action being taken in accordance with the law and regulations.” The DAB said justice lies in the hearts of the people, and urged all sectors to remain objective and fair before the investigation results are announced and avoid making unverified speculations.

宏福苑五級火｜一年內四宗棚架火 盤點香港火災事 多與竹棚和圍網被點燃有關
A painful lesson—one fire is one too many. Before the fatal No. 5 alarm fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, Hong Kong had already recorded at least four fires this year related to scaffolding and protective netting. After a No. 3 alarm fire involving bamboo scaffolding at Chinachem Tower in Central last month, the Buildings Department issued a notice reiterating that materials used with scaffolding must meet flame-retardancy requirements and reminding contractors to check whether protective nets used at construction sites complied with specifications. It said serious action would be taken against violations, but this did not prevent the fatal fire in Tai Po. Following the fire, organisations from various sectors initiated the formation of the “Wang Fuk Court Victims’ Rights Alliance” to help victims pursue claims and provide views on the government’s review.
血的教訓，一宗嫌多，早在大埔宏福苑發生奪命五級火之前，香港今年已最少發生四宗與棚架和圍網相關的火警，上月在中環華懋大廈發生的竹棚三級火之後，屋宇署曾發通告，重申涉及棚架使用的物料，必須能阻燃等要求，提醒承建商要檢查工地所採用的保護網是否符合規格，若發現有人違規，會嚴肅處理，但仍無法阻止大埔的奪命火災發生。今次火災後，多個不同界別的組織，發起組成「宏福苑受災者權益聯盟」，協助受災者追討之外，也希望就政府的檢討提供意見。

宏福苑五級火・尋人｜IT 人晚上趕製「宏福苑報平安」App 義助親友尋街坊
Many people remain missing after the fire at Wang Fuk Court, with their whereabouts and whether they are alive still unknown. A simple, easy-to-understand real-time information app for people out of contact and those seeking help appeared online last night (26th). It lists the status of different units on different floors across seven blocks: green indicates that people have “reported safe”, while red indicates that they are “seeking help”. Notes include the number of missing people and other information. It has so far recorded more than 170 million visits. Nathan, a 30-year-old computer programmer who developed the app as a volunteer, said he used AI together with his own skills to complete the initial version in just half an hour. Six or seven volunteers are now helping to manually update information on Telegram, and he hopes to consolidate the data to help fire victims seek assistance.
宏福苑大火尚有多人失蹤，生死未卜，網上昨晚（26日） 出現失聯和求助的即時資訊程式，簡單易明，羅列七座大廈不同層不同單位的狀態，綠色顯示已「報平安」，紅色顯示「求救」，備註有失蹤人數和資料，至今已有超過 1.7 億的流量。義務寫程式的 Nathan，是 30 歲的電腦程式設計師，他說 AI 加上本身技能，只花了半小時完成初版，現在 Telegram 有六七名義工幫手「人肉更新」，希望整合資料幫到災民求救。

宏福苑五級火︱林超英指追究不應針對竹棚架 批評 2009 年「屋宇更新大行動」釀禍
A deadly fire broke out at the Wang Fuk Court estate in Tai Po on November 26. Lam Chiu-ying, former director of the Hong Kong Observatory, wrote on social media today (27th) that the “protective netting” used to protect scaffolding workers may instead have become a fatal culprit in the fire. He said that although the netting was originally intended to prevent objects or workers from falling from the scaffolding, the flammable materials helped the fire spread rapidly.
大埔屋邨宏福苑 11 月 26 日發生奪命火災，香港天文台前台長林超英今日（27 日）在社交平台發文，認為火災中保護棚架工人的「圍網」反而可能成為致命元兇，指出雖然「圍網」的原意是防止棚架上物件或工人跌下，但這些易燃物料在火災中卻助長火勢迅速蔓延。
林超英指出，棚架上跌下一個工人都已嫌多，但今次大埔火災已知最少造成 65 人死亡，情況令人深感痛心。他質疑，作為明顯物質禍首的易燃「圍網」和發泡膠，為何在追究責任時，重點卻落在不易燃的竹棚架上。

同志遊行再次變身彩虹市集 LGBT+手語圖案T恤被食環要求下架 檔主稱不知具體原因
The Hong Kong Pride Parade Organising Committee held a “Rainbow Market” in Kwun Tong on Sunday (23rd), but announced before the market began that the outdoor “Inclusive Culture Festival” originally scheduled to take place had been cancelled. PrideLab, an LGBT+ arts and activism organisation participating in the market, also announced that the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) had said a T-shirt bearing a sign-language design representing “LGBT+” could not be sold. Chan Ging, PrideLab’s creative director, told this outlet that she did not know the specific reason for the request to remove the T-shirt, and felt it was regrettable and “a bit of a blow” to lose an opportunity to promote sign language. She said, however, that the organisation’s outdoor activities and street booth had taken place successfully, thanked the Rainbow Market organisers for standing firm, and pledged to promote sex/gender equality as far as possible whenever opportunities and space remained. This is the seventh consecutive year since 2019 that the Pride parade has not been held in parade form: the 2019 parade was changed to an outdoor rally, the 2020 event to an online livestream, and from 2021 onward to a market. This is the third consecutive year that the market has been held at The Wave in Kwun Tong. PrideLab set up a stall at this year’s Rainbow Market to sell souvenirs for fundraising, but was informed by the organisers one week before the market opened that, during the FEHD’s approval of the temporary public entertainment venue licence, the department had requested the removal of the “LGBT+” sign-language design T-shirt it planned to sell and prohibited its display at the venue. Chan said that, in response to the authorities’ request, “we could only comply”, but had no way of knowing the specific reason.
香港同志遊行籌委會周日（23日）於觀塘舉辦「彩虹市集」，但原定戶外舉行的「共融文化節」在市集開始前宣佈取消。參與市集的LGBT+藝術行動倡議組織PrideLab亦公佈，它們一件印有代表「LGBT+」意思的手語圖案T恤被食環署告知不能發售，PrideLab創作總監陳驚向本台表示不知道T恤被要求下架的具體原因，對失去一個推廣手語的機會感到可惜和「有點打擊」，但稱該組織的戶外活動和街站都成功舉行，感謝彩虹市集主辦方堅持，承諾在仍有機會和空間時盡力推廣性／別平等。
今年是自2019年起連續第7年未能以遊行方式舉辦同志遊行，其中2019年的同志遊行改為戶外集會，2020年改為網上直播，2021年起改為市集，今年是連續第3年於觀塘The Wave舉辦市集。
PrideLab在今年的彩虹市集設攤位發售紀念品籌款，但於彩虹市集開幕前一周接獲主辦方通知，食環署於審批臨時公眾娛樂場所牌照時，要求下架PrideLab計劃發售的「LGBT+」手語圖案T恤，且在場內不得展示。陳驚表示因應當局要求，「我們只能順從」，但無從得知具體原因。

毅行者換水？｜樂施會補給水 棄屈臣氏改農夫山泉？ 參加者一人一信要求額外選擇
Oxfam’s charity fundraising event, Trailwalker 2025, will be held from the 28th to the 30th of this month. A participant recently posted on the social media platform Threads, saying they had learned that the water stations would provide only bottled water from the mainland brand Nongfu Spring. The participant had emailed Oxfam to ask about the matter and received the reply: “Yes, this year the water stations will be supplied by Nongfu Spring and there will be no other water supplier, thank you.” Some Trailwalkers expressed concern and launched a campaign calling on participants to write to Oxfam individually, saying that having a choice of replenishment water was of utmost importance and urging it to provide at least one additional bottled-water brand from Hong Kong.
樂施會慈善籌款活動「毅行者2025」，將於本月 28 日至 30日舉行。有參加者日前在社交平台 threads 發文指，近日得悉水站只提供內地品牌「農夫山泉」瓶裝水，曾電郵樂施會查詢，獲回覆指「是的，今年水站由農夫山泉供水並沒有其他供水，謝謝」。有毅行者表示關注，發起一人一信向樂施會指，補給水選擇權至為重要，要求增設至少一款香港本地品牌的瓶裝水。

「如一」台灣辦《自殺通告》包場 朱江瑋稱全程被跟蹤、返港被海關搜行李
The online shopping platform As One organised a private screening in Taiwan in early November in support of director Zhou Guanwei’s latest film, ‘Suicide Notice’. Kong Wai Chu, the founder of As One and a former district councillor, posted on social media on the evening of the 17th, saying they had been followed in Taiwan and that, after returning to Hong Kong, had been searched by Customs officers and had their luggage searched at the airport for nearly half an hour. They said they had considered whether to make the incident public, but felt that in an increasingly absurd era, “holding on to integrity and sincerity may be the best way to resist fear”. In response to enquiries on the 18th, Customs said it would not comment on individual cases, and that it had always “conducted monitoring and inspections of passengers, goods and others entering and leaving Hong Kong through risk assessment and intelligence analysis”, maintained close contact with relevant departments, exchanged intelligence and taken joint action.
網購平台「如一」11 月初在台灣發起包場活動，支持導演周冠威新作《自殺通告》。「如一」創辦人、前區議員朱江瑋 17 日晚上在社交平台發文，指自己在台灣被跟蹤，回到香港後，在機場被海關搜身和搜行李近半小時。他稱曾思考是否公開事件，但覺得在越來越荒謬的時代，「守住磊落真誠，或許是對抗恐懼的最好方法」。海關 18 日回覆查詢稱不會評論個別個案，又指一向「透過風險評估及情報分析」，對進出境旅客、貨物等進行監控及查驗，與相關部門保持緊密聯繫，交流情報及採取聯合行動。

清潔工欠薪｜屯門豫豐花園工友被拖糧四個月 罷工、報勞工處 七旬工人取回欠薪
Cleaning workers at Grandeur Garden in Tuen Mun were owed at least four months’ wages by Paak Ngai Cleaning and Engineering Company, with some workers going on strike last Saturday (the 8th). Two affected workers lodged complaints with the Tuen Mun office of the Labour Department’s Labour Relations Division this morning (the 10th). A company representative at one point called in an attempt to stop the workers from lodging complaints, but later left cheques at the Labour Relations Division office for the workers to collect, saying cheques would be issued to other workers owed wages the following day.
A staff member at Grandeur Garden’s property services office told reporters that it had paid Paak Ngai on time and that the wage arrears were unrelated to the office. The staff member also said that, because of the wage arrears, Paak Ngai’s contract had been terminated at the end of November this year, earlier than the originally scheduled end of April next year. The Cleaning Services Industry Workers Union said Paak Ngai provides cleaning services at several housing estates in Tuen Mun and that it had so far learned that workers at Siu Hong Court had not received wages since August, urging workers owed wages to seek help as soon as possible. The Labour Department said it had met the employer’s representatives and had made a stern demand for the wages to be paid as soon as possible. It added that a criminal investigation would be conducted if there were suspected violations of the Employment Ordinance.
屯門豫豐花園清潔工友，遭魄毅清潔及工程公司拖欠至少四個月薪金，部分人上周六（8 日）發起罷工。其中兩名受影響工友，今（10日）早向勞工處勞資關係科屯門辦事處落案申訴，公司代表一度致電擬阻工友申訴，後將支票放在勞資關係科辦事處，由工友領取，並稱翌日會將支票發放予其他欠薪工友。
有豫豐花園物業服務處職員向記者表示，有依時向魄毅付費、欠薪與服務處無關，又指因欠薪情況，已將魄毅合約由原定明年四月底提前於今年 11 月底終止。清潔服務業職工會則指，魄毅負責屯門多個屋苑清潔服務，暫得悉兆康苑工友未收到 8 月後工資，籲遭欠薪工友盡快求助。勞工處表示已面見僱主代表，嚴正要求盡快清付欠薪，如有涉違《僱傭條例》情況會進行刑事調查。
