South China Morning Post Editorial: Hong Kong Must Show Genuine Remorse for Tai Po Fire Tragedy

A South China Morning Post editorial notes that Chief Executive John Lee and 7 principal officials bowed in apology before the cameras on October 29, 11 months after the Wang Fuk Court fire killed 168 people and affected 1,984 households. One bureau chief has resigned and multiple reform pledges have been made, but public reaction remains divided, reflecting differing understandings of what an apology should achieve.
