Yiu Men-yeung

Yiu Men-yeung is an expert providing testimony at the public inquiry investigating Hong Kong's deadliest fire in decades, which occurred at Wang Fuk Court. The inquiry is examining the factors that contributed to the rapid spread and devastating impact of the blaze. Experts like Yiu are presenting evidence and analysis to the judge-led panel, focusing on issues such as the spread of smoke as a primary cause of fatalities and the role of combustible and non-fireproof materials in fuelling the fire. The independent committee is hearing from various specialists, including professors from Polytechnic University, to understand the technical aspects of the fire's progression and to inform future safety measures. The legal representatives are expected to make their closing remarks in mid-July, following the conclusion of expert testimony.
