History

Short piling scandal

In 1999, the piles of Blocks K (Chung Po House) and L (Chung Ho House) were found to be shortened by up to seven meters compared with the standard requirement.[5][6] Foundation strengthening works was then carried out in the block and completed in 2002.[7][8] 640 units in the two blocks were sold to the public in 2009.[9]
