正しい情報を。
香港には、竹でできた足場や棚を100年以上使っているのが、竹の良さをよくわかっているから。
今回の火災の原因、竹ではありません。

作為一個土生土長的香港人，我可以說今晚這場大火絕對是人禍

現場是大埔宏福苑，整個屋苑有 8 座大廈。今天下午約 2:51，宏福苑的宏昌閣外牆正在進行維修時，外牆棚架發生火警，已經有網民在 Threads 拍下當時小火的情況，可是在十分鐘後火警已經往上順延

問題一：有住戶表示火警發生時火警鐘未能響起，濃煙突然湧入，多人來不及逃出

問題二：多名網民和住戶在 Threads 已貼出疑似現場其中一座大廈的維修棚架中，有工人吸煙和亂拋煙頭的照片和影片，雖然不能證實是今天發生的，但已經有人認為這是最大機會引發火警的原因，畢竟居民已經多次提醒工友不要再吸煙

問題三：維修背景

這個絕對要講，為什麼是人禍？

在 2024 年年初，宏福苑的屋苑法團通過一項總額約 3.3 億港元的大維修方案，用於整個外牆更新

方案覆蓋 8 座大廈約 1984 戶住戶，每戶需分 6 期繳費，每戶需負擔約 16–18 萬港元，這裡已經很離譜，因為基本上是強迫每戶付錢出來，更別說這次為了節省成本而直接 8 座大廈同時進行維修，增加風險

當時法團拒絕重選並以法律手段回應部分業主，而維修工程當然直接開始，整個屋苑被搭上竹棚架和保護網

但其實，保護網沒有用上最新政府標準所要求的防火網，而是普通的阻燃物料，我附上的第 2 張圖片可以清楚看到，所謂阻燃也沒有成功起到作用，反而棚架比保護網更堅固，證明問題出在【沒有用上防火網】

重點也來了，因為宏福苑是一個私人屋苑，所以不會由政府直接管理，而是由立案法團委聘承建商，也就是私人工程公司

私人工程不需要跟足政府標準，比如說公營工程防火規範，所以他們用的竹棚和普通阻燃圍網，的確是合法，但前面我也提到這是十分高風險

再加上工人吸煙讓火種掉落，近年政府大量引入外勞，也沒有說有什麼條例去監管和控制外勞，那如果這次工程的工人也是外勞呢？

香港工程一判再判早已是常態，為了壓低成本，最底層工人往往薪金最低和培訓不足，監管亦有限，這當然是制度問題，而不是工人本身的問題

所以這不是單一意外

而是由成本導向的維修決策和鬆散監管制度，也因為欠缺防火網和安全文化薄弱，一層一層累積而成的人禍，最後導致今天大家看到的五級大火爆發

當然，這一切未有官方最終調查結論，還需要等待政府公布原因，但在這個世界裡面，有多少出來的資料是真假，大家可以想像到

Another day of huge rallies around Myanmar for the 22222 general strike, with protesters undeterred by the weekend's lethal crackdown in Mandalay and a clear threat of force from the junta. Here's some photos from around Yangon:

On this #MotherLanguageDay I once again ask the Chinese government to release my innocent father, Yalqun Rozi! He was the chief editor of Uyghur language textbooks and was arrested as a scapegoat because CCP wanted to abolish Uyghur language education.#FreeYalqunRozi #FreeUyghurs

Thanks for the ad hominem attack against me @joshua_landis. You forgot the CCP talking point that Uyghur women are "no longer baby-making machines."

Are you prepared to defend calling me a "data-abusing far-right ideologue" in court?

Because I am ready to defend my research.

The arrest of American citizen & human rights lawyer John Clancey under the “National Security Law” shows the sweeping authority the #CCP has provided itself to arrest & prosecute anyone it sees as “subverting authority.” Beijing views no one as beyond its authoritarian grasp.

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

Pro-democracy politicians are being arrested for speaking up for freedom and democracy.

When will Beijing stop? They will find any excuse to arrest and silence those who yearn for their basic human rights.

[賴清德Lai Ching-te @ChingteLai]

China’s crackdown on democracy will not be ignored by the world. More than 50 prominent democratic advocates were arrested today in Hong Kong. This is unacceptable, HKers’ rights are human rights.

The world knows what is really happening in #HongKong as Beijing continues to crackdown against freedoms. Arresting opposition leaders won’t squash the desire for fundamental rights. I stand with the people of Hong Kong against CCP repression.
