Hong Kong lift contractor faces fraud probe over missing fire-safety components
Hong Kong’s Electrical and Mechanical Services Department said Taizoom Elevator was under criminal investigation for suspected fraud and false statements over missing fire-resistant door-frame components. Authorities found 720 lifts lacked the required components, roughly 90 per cent of the company’s installations. The department ordered remedial work at two residential estates by mid-November, while repairs at the remaining private buildings were expected to take two to three months.
