An elderly man who lost contact with family members for six days has been found on the roof of a newly-constructed flat in Bidadari. Lau Sung Pong, 81, was reported missing on May 1 after he failed to return home. In an interview with AsiaOne, 55-year-old Joyce said that her father, Lau, who has dementia but had been advised by doctors to maintain his daily routine, accidentally got off the bus two stops later than intended. «He's generally strong and healthy, though his kidneys are not in the best condition due to his age,» said Joyce, who asked not to be identified by her full name. She is her father's primary caregiver. After spending two hours searching for Lau on foot and car without success, Joyce contacted the police. Together with several family members, the police combed through the Bidadari and Woodleigh area to find the elderly man. Read more
