More than 85 per cent of owners at the blaze-hit Wang Fuk Court have signed agreements to sell their flats to the Hong Kong government as authorities move ahead with flat selection under a special rehousing scheme.
Authorities said on Tuesday that 1,702 households – 85.8 per cent of flat owners across blocks A to H at the estate – had signed sale and purchase agreements as of Monday.
On the same day, the bureau held computerised draws to determine the selection sequence for subsidised flats under the scheme.
“The Housing Bureau conducted separate computerised random-ordering ballots for the two batches of applicants to determine the sequence of the last two digits of the application numbers held by the applicants,” a spokesman said. “Based on the ballot results, the Housing Bureau randomly generated the order of all applicants.”
