Hong Kong high-rise fire kills 168: chief executive apologizes, housing minister resigns
Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee apologized Thursday for a November 2025 residential tower fire in Tai Po that killed 168 people and injured 79. Housing Minister Winnie Ho resigned after her department was found to have neglected oversight of renovation work on the building. A three-month investigation will examine officials' accountability; proposals include criminalizing bid-rigging related to the $38 million renovation contract.
