This week a delegation of top Hong Kong officials went to Beijing to follow up on concerns over why Hong Kong had not been notified that four of its citizens had been detained in the mainland and to review the notification mechanism that is supposed to keep both sides informed in a timely manner. What the delegation got was a television show … with the media present for the part of the show designed for publicity.
People living on the south side of Hong Kong island have long been missing the convenience of access to the MTR. That should change at the end of this year when the eastern part of the MTR’s South Island Line will begin running. It cost HK$220 million to build. But some of those who live in the area are worried that other government plans for public transport after the opening will leave them worse off.
On Thursday night two people were injured during a third-alarm blaze in a Cheng Sha Wan industrial building housing mini-storage facilities. It’s the second such industrial building blaze in three weeks. In the first, in Ngau Tau Kok, which broke out on 21st June, two firemen died and ten others were injured.
That blaze started on the third floor of a storage facility that contained around 200 storage cubicles and burned for more than 100 hours. 180 firemen and 34 fire engines were deployed. Last Tuesday, at a joint panel meeting in Legco, the government said there was no need for an independent inquiry into the fire or how to stop it happening again.
And we’ll end with images of the deadliest attack in Iraq since 2003. Last Sunday, a truck packed with explosives exploded in a crowded shopping district in Baghdad. The terrorist group, Islamic State claimed responsibility. The death toll has now risen to over 250. And so it’s goodbye from us on that sombre note. We will see you next week.
