Why it matters

Albert Su Yau-on also revealed on Sunday that more than 1,000 inquiries had been received regarding the group’s legal aid scheme for Wang Fuk Court residents, following the November blaze that killed 168 people and displaced about 5,000 others.

Su said the new measure was introduced in response to feedback from residents who expressed a desire for financial support to help them settle into new homes.
