An independent committee investigating a deadly fire in Hong Kong's Tai Po district has decided against seeking statutory powers for its inquiry. The panel, led by Justice David Lok Kai-hong, believes existing evidence is sufficient and pursuing statutory powers would significantly delay the final report, potentially until mid-2027. The inquiry is hearing testimony from government experts and fire engineering specialists to determine the cause of the blaze that killed 168 people in November 2025. AI
