Letters | Deaths of Hong Kong mum and kids remind of need for community support

By showing concern and care to someone in need and being a good listener, everyone can give a helping hand to those who are suffering. This tragedy raises an alarm to society that our community may be lacking in mutual support, concern and caring, the essential elements for leading a peaceful life.

I was a resident for decades in Lotus House. Even though my family and I have since moved out, I still feel a sense of belonging to the housing estate in Cheung Sha Wan. To help the surviving father who is going through this hardship, his relatives, friends and neighbours should give him lots of support. Also, I suggest that a charity fund be set up by the housing estate and relevant social welfare sector to offer financial support to next of kin.

I would like to offer the family of the deceased my deepest and most sincere condolences; may the souls of the deceased rest in peace.
