“The tragedy will be forgotten” - Grenfell survivors decry the absence of justice after eight years since the fire.

Following the Tai Po Wang Fuk Court fire in Hong Kong, the government arranged for more than 2,000 affected households to be temporarily accommodated in hotels and transitional housing. Some survivors were rehoused across districts, while others reported difficulties over the provision of basic supplies. After the incident, the government also set up an independent review panel. Unlike a statutory commission of inquiry, however, this body has no legal powers, prompting public concern that the incident cannot be thoroughly investigated.

Many media outlets have drawn comparisons between the Hong Kong fire and the Grenfell Tower fire in London eight years ago. That disaster was the result of a series of systemic failures spanning decades across government, the fire services and the construction industry, during which repeated warning signs were ignored. It took seven years for the public inquiry report to be completed, and its findings indicated that several companies involved in the building’s external cladding and structural materials were suspected of deliberate misconduct and fraud.

As time passes, two survivors tell Green Bean Media that they have still not seen justice done. They expressed dissatisfaction with the conclusions of the inquiry, criticised the government’s post-incident resettlement arrangements and compensation mechanisms, and said that “you can't really put a price tag on people's lives and that's what they've done”, that they have “lost faith in the government”, and “the tragedy will be forgotten”.

自香港大埔宏福苑大火後，政府安置二千多戶受影響災民入住酒店及過渡性房屋，有些人被跨區安置，甚至就物資問題感到困擾。事發後，政府亦成立獨立調查會，與獨立調查委員會不同，不具法定權力，評論擔心無法徹底調查事件。

不少媒體將香港大火類比八年前倫敦Grenfell Tower Fire事件。這場意外由政府、消防、建築業等數十年來連串制度錯失，無視警號所造成。該事件公開調查報告花費七年完成，結果顯示牽涉大樓外牆以及結構物料的幾家承建商，涉有蓄意、欺詐之嫌。

事過變遷，兩名生還者向《綠豆》表示，他們仍然未看見公義，並不滿公開調查報告的結果，批評政府事後安頓以及補償機制的種種不是，指「人們的生命不該用金錢衡量」、「對政府失去信心」、「事件將會被遺忘」。
