About
Jenkin Suen SC is a government counsel presenting arguments at the independent committee inquiry into the deadly Wang Fuk Court fire in Tai Po. He is newsworthy due to his role in delivering the government's closing remarks at the public inquiry. Suen SC attributed the inferno, which occurred on November 26, 2025, and resulted in 168 fatalities, primarily to the actions of construction and fire service firms. He argued that these companies either conspired to circumvent supervision or neglected their statutory duties, suggesting their deceitful practices were the main cause of the tragedy. The government's position, as presented by Suen SC, is that their own role in the incident was secondary to the failures of these private firms. His closing statement is a significant part of the inquiry's final public session, expected to cover the fire's causes and the responsibilities of all involved parties.
