Nearly All Wang Fuk Court Owners Accept Buy out, Leaving 17 Holdouts as Offer Ends The recent government buyout of Wang Fuk Court in Hong Kong is a stark reminder that even in times of crisis, some individuals can be remarkably persistent.
Despite overwhelming odds and the devastating consequences of the fire that ravaged seven blocks of the estate last November, nearly all owners have accepted the government's offer.
Of the nearly 2,000 flat owners, only 17 have refused to accept the buyout. These holdouts are hoping against hope that their determination will eventually pay off by securing a higher price for their properties.
