Details

According to law enforcement officials, two directors of a construction company and a consulting engineer, aged between 52 and 68, have been detained.

According to Senior Superintendent of Police Eileen Chung, protective films and nets were found on the exterior parts of the buildings, which likely did not have fire-resistant properties.

In addition, it is reported that foam sheets were found on the windows - similar materials were also found in a building that was not affected by the fire.
