About 90 per cent of flat owners at the fire-damaged Wang Fuk Court have returned signed letters accepting the government’s buy-back offer, but some residents have raised concerns about rushed decisions tied to priority selection.The Deputy Financial Secretary’s Office said on Friday that as of July 16, a total of 1,786 owners, or about 90 per cent, had submitted acceptance letters. Of these, 769 had already signed sale and purchase agreements with the government, accounting for 43 per cent of respondents.By block, 1,565 letters came from Blocks A to G, representing about 90.1 per cent of flats in those buildings, while 221 were from Wang Chi House (Block H), or roughly 89.1 per cent of its flats.
