About

King Min House is a public housing estate located in Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong. It is currently newsworthy due to an incident involving the death of over 100 fish during a pond cleaning operation. The incident occurred on Monday when a cleaning contractor, Fai Kee Environmental Cleaning, removed the fish from the pond to facilitate maintenance. However, the contractor allegedly failed to provide a temporary space with adequate aeration, leading to the death of the fish, including large koi. Hong Kong police have launched an investigation into suspected animal cruelty. A 51-year-old supervisor from the cleaning company was arrested and later released on bail, required to report back to police next month. The incident highlights concerns about animal welfare and the responsibilities of contractors during maintenance operations in public spaces.
