Hong Kong mother issues plea for public’s help to find son, 17, missing since Wednesday

- Boy was last seen at Shek Mun MTR station on the Tuen Mun line at about 1.30pm on Wednesday
A worried Hong Kong mother has made a heartfelt appeal to the public to help find her 17-year-old son, who went missing from his exclusive city school at lunchtime on Wednesday.
Amy Chan, the mother of Matthew Tsang Hin-chit, a Form Six pupil at Diocesan Boys’ School in Mong Kok, on Friday asked the public to mobilise to help trace the boy, who she said had been suffering from mental stress.
Chan told the Post that Matthew had complained of insomnia and acid reflux earlier in the week and had taken medicine the night before he disappeared.
“His mental state has not been very good lately and he had told us that he was very tired over the week,” she explained.
“Obviously, he needs some mental support. We originally wanted to take him to see a doctor the day he went missing.”
Chan added Matthew was in an elite Form Six class and preparing for his university entrance exams next year.
