At peak of Hongkie commercial real estate
Ho Jinx of buy high sell low fame
Limitless clout as Mikado's daughter in law
Bought posh mall from taipan Swire

Poorly timed purchase did not bring fame
Added to her notoriety and Sinkie shame
What kind of crap sovereign fund is this
Simple pipe maintenance could not do

Spin fairy tale to cover up its grave mistake
Hongkie press is not Shit Times don't forget
Heavy rain and hailstones are very common
No need Hongkie professor to give a sermon

Dumbass Lightning saporkers happpy now
When go abroad must deny you're Sinkie

The Festival Walk shopping mall came under fire yesterday, accused of poor maintenance and a slow response to Sunday's flood following a burst pipe, as shopkeepers mopped up and counted the cost.

The criticism came as the Observatory warned that heavy rain and squally thunderstorms would continue to affect Hong Kong and the region for several days.

The Buildings Department yesterday denied speculation that the flooding of Festival Walk was caused by hailstones breaking a glass panel. It said a broken rainwater pipe was to blame for water pouring into the centre.

About 10 shops and restaurants near the unwelcome waterfall were closed or partially shut to clean up the mess.

"It was not because the glass ceiling or glass windows were broken," a spokesman said.

A manager at the Cole Haan boutique said: "Someone was suddenly screaming outside on Sunday night, so I went out and had a look.

"It was like it was raining inside the mall. I then found water dripping from the ceiling of my shop."

Chan Chi-ming, head of the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education's department of construction, said he believed the pipe broke because of poor maintenance of connecting joints. After inspecting the mall, he said the managers of the shopping centre should have done more to protect customers.

"The mall should have immediately evacuated the shoppers because it was dangerous," he added.

Mapletree Greater China Commercial Trust, which bought the mall from Swire Pacific in 2011, said it would take more precautions to ensure the safety of tenants and visitors. Mapletree is owned by Singapore state investment firm Temasek Holdings.
