Tait Yat Elevator (Hong Kong) Company Limited was accused of failing to install fire-resistant door frame components on 48 lifts at Tsui Ping (North) Estate in Kwun Tong and Pok Hong Estate in Sha Tin while reporting the work as completed. After surprise inspections, the EMSD considered that the incident might involve criminal acts of fraud and providing false statements, and will refer the case to police. Polytechnic University visiting professor Ho Wing Yip said the components are used to connect the wall and fire-resistant door to prevent fire and smoke from entering the lift and shaft through gaps during a fire, and he considered that it might not be ruled out that it was a supervision problem, with the true cause pending investigation.

Cha Yat-chiu, chairman of the board of the San Tin Technopole Company, said the government's heavy investment in innovation and technology and industrial development in recent years is the "right approach". He believes that to attract advanced manufacturing partners to Hong Kong, land prices, tax incentives and CEPA are all important factors, among which CEPA has not been updated for many years and he believes there is room for optimisation. He suggested that the life and health sector set up in the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park in the Loop, while microelectronics, robotics and green manufacturing could be considered for development in San Tin.
The Department of Health says the activity level of hand, foot and mouth disease in Hong Kong has risen significantly recently. University of Hong Kong medical faculty paediatrics professor Yip Pak-keung says outbreaks have been more obvious since the start of this month, especially in child care centres, kindergartens and primary schools, which he believes is related to pupils gathering after the start of the school year. He says alcohol cannot effectively kill enterovirus 71, and recommends washing hands with liquid soap and water, while schools should also watch hygiene and whether pupils have symptoms.

The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department announced that after receiving a tip-off, it conducted an unannounced inspection and found that the 48 lifts replaced by Tai Yat Elevator (Hong Kong) Limited at Tsui Ping North Estate in Kwun Tong and Po Hong Estate in Shatin had only been fitted with fire-resistant doors as required, without the fire-resistant door frame assemblies, while the works were reported as completed. The EMSD described the construction as having serious deficiencies, did not rule out criminal acts involving fraud and making false statements, and would refer the case to the police for follow-up. An engineer considered that the absence of fire-resistant door frames did not affect operational safety, but described the situation as "too sloppy", and recommended penalties to serve as a deterrent.
