In the early years, Fu Heng Village, which was kicked out for high-priced maintenance projects, was re-elected by the management committee today (28th). In the end, the current OC and the list of new candidates supported by it were elected after voting by many neighbours. District councillors said that the current OC members succeeded in winning the trust of the neighbourhood by adopting an open and transparent auditing model.

The annual meeting of owners in Fu Hang Village, Tai Po will be held at 12 noon today to discuss management contractor contracts for different services, and to elect the number of members of the new management committee, as well as the list of members, chairman, secretary, treasurer, etc.

In 2017, Fu Heng Village broke out a sky-high repair project, suspected of involving bid rigging, which aroused a backlash from residents, formed a concern group to participate in the Owners' Incorporation, and finally kicked off the old corporation and took office until now.

The old and new corporations challenge each other

The list of candidates for the old corporation, supported by the former district councillors of Tai Po, challenged the current corporation members. Residents responded enthusiastically. They entered the venue continuously from 1 pm. At the peak, about 300 residents were present.

The informant could not be found. After investigation, he believed that he had misunderstood and left the scene.

At nearly 4 pm, the last item on the agenda was to elect the new members of the management committee of the corporation. After enthusiastic voting by the neighbourhood, 8 members of the current corporation and 5 new candidates supported by the current corporation were elected. , And the old OC's list of candidates failed to challenge, and all of them lost the election. Some people left the scene without waiting for the voting result halfway through.

District Councillors: Openness and transparency are the key to election

A member of the Tai Po District Councilman Man Nianzhi who attended the event said that since the old corporation of Fu Heng Village broke out in the early years that the corporation was kicked out for concealing huge maintenance fees and arbitrarily increasing management fees, the current resident concern group formed The OC's maintenance of openness and transparency, including the addition of live webcasts during the meetings of the Standing Committee, and allowing the neighbours to check their accounts at any time, is believed to be the key to victory this time.
