【市民聯署倡獨立調查大埔大火被叫停】
【國安公署批「以災亂港」 有人被警調查】
周五（28日）有熱心市民組成「大埔宏福苑火災關注組」，爭取獨立調查等「四大訴求」，並在火車站派發傳單作網上聯署，據知發起聯署人之一 Miles 中午被警方國安處帶返警署調查。
Miles 曾跟《路透社》透露，其訴求非常基本，政府不應反對，否則是過於敏感及不負責任：https://www.reuters.com/wo...

There will never be governmental accountability in Hong Kong, not with People's Republic of China as the governing power of Hong Kong.
Chief Executive John Lee is worried about appearing ungrateful to Xi Jinping, not about the thousands of people who can't vote for him anyways.

This is why Hong Kong is & always will be an anti-capitalist struggle. Residents of Hung Fuk Estate paid thousands of dollars for the construction. This $330M project went up in flames, it burned for 47 hours.
How much did officials & biz profited from this bid-rigged project? $40 cheaper netting?

DON'T THINK I'VE WRITTEN A THREAD THIS LONG SINCE 2019. ENJOY.
Hong Kong stands as a colonial capitalist symbol.
"where the west meets east" AKA the window for western capital to access mainland Chinese market
But yet: Hongkongers have the anarchist potential to overthrow capitalist governance in 24 hours.
TLDR: Hong Kong is the best place on the universe.

Since earlier today, an endless stream of Hong Kongers have come to Tai Po to pay their respects and mourn the lives lost to the fire. Some people estimate that they have waited in line for up to 2 hours so they could lay down their flowers.

a major factor in the fire disaster was the malfunctioning of the fire alarms.
what makes me angry and sad is that the hk authories have learned nothing. what they have been doing - and now are continuing to do - is to turn off the alarm systems of society: dissent, a free press, speaking truth.

The HK authorities arrested a student on sedition charges because he made a petition asking the government to 1) ensure accommodation for displaced residents; 2) setup independent investigation; 3) review construction supervision system 4) probe regulatory neglect.
