@channelnewsasia: Hong Kong's housing secretary Winnie Ho has resigned over a fire in Tai Po that killed 168 people in November last year, becoming the first official to resign over the inferno. Hong Kong leader John Lee announced this on Thursday (Oct 29) during a press conference, as he apologised for the deadly blaze and promised extensive reforms to its building industry and regulatory system. The blaze that ripped through seven 31-storey tower blocks at the Wang Fuk Court residential complex, which was undergoing renovation work in the northern Tai Po district, was the deadliest in the city since 1948. Thousands of residents were displaced after their homes became uninhabitable. #hongkong #hongkongnews #taipofire

an honourable leader apologised when his administartion made a serious mistake and the person in charge asked to resign. sadly this will not happen in Singapore as the leaders are not accountable

Singapore government should learn from HK govt. take responsibility.
