Welfare of the mentally challenged / Urban resilience in the face of extreme weather
主持人：Tony Sabine and Mike Rowse
On Tuesday's Backchat, we're discussing issues surrounding the welfare of mentally disabled people.
This comes as a 78-year-old man was found dead, with his intellectually challenged son unharmed besides his body. The tragedy was brought to light last Thursday after building management staff detected a foul smell, with preliminary findings estimating that the elderly carer died one to two days prior to the discovery.
The tragedy has renewed calls to establish a list of "high risk" residents, as some care givers may themselves be in need of help. In late 2023, two intellectually challenged brothers in their fifties died of suspected starvation after their elderly mother was admitted to hospital. The case sent shock waves throughout the city, prompting various bodies to mobilise dedicated teams watching out for residents at risk.
After 9:45, we talk about Hong Kong buildings' resilience in the face of extreme weather, with hourly rainfall poised to increase by up to 40 percent in the next decade.
