Hop On Has Missed Both Deadlines

Two Deadlines, No Meeting

The buyback offer sent to Wang Fuk Court homeowners in Tai Po carries a June 30 early-acceptance deadline. The estate's 1,984 units have been displaced since a fire killed 168 residents on November 26, 2025. To accept before June 30 is to preserve priority in the government resettlement scheme. To wait is to take whatever remains. "

Under the Buildings Management Ordinance, which governs how Hong Kong owners call their management company to account, a petition from 5 percent of owners compels the company to call a general meeting within 14 days and hold it within 45. 4 percent of the estate's 1,984 units. The May 13 deadline to call the meeting passed. The June 13 deadline to hold it passed.

The May 13 deadline to call the meeting passed. The June 13 deadline to hold it passed. Hop On issued a notice on June 13 citing "unprecedented and exceptional circumstances." No new date was given.

Appointed to Represent Whom

Hop On unveiled a HK$127 million maintenance fee refund plan for Wang Fuk Court homeowners in May 2026. The government and Hop On both say the refund is a separate process from the owners' meeting. RTHK reported on May 23 that Hop On had stated flat sales were also a separate matter. The June 30 deadline is on both documents at once.

" The government appointed Hop On. The government runs the buyback scheme the 1,984 homeowners are being pressed to decide on.
