The hdb renting thing they really need to do something about it. So many such cases are happening.

Why would a 'subsidized' flat for citizens to have a roof over his head become an investment or for him to be a landlord for collecting rent? Isn't the nation other waiting for housing helping this guy earn money? Messy creation.

The 0403 earthquake in Hualien last year caused 18 deaths and 2 missing persons. An Australian-Singaporean tourist couple were trapped on the Shaka Trail and lost contact. Their family members applied for a declaration of death to the court through the Hualien District Prosecutor's Office, which was approved at the end of last year. On the 11th of this month January, a farmer found suspected human bones in the river valley. After the police retrieved and identified them, it was determined that the bones belonged to the missing 47-year-old man Sim Hwee Kok, who was confirmed to have died.

Hualien police said that on January 11, a resident named Wang, who was going to Wujianwu to work on the mountain, found what looked like human bones in the river valley about 1.5 kilometers away from the Shaka Trail and called the police. However, the trail was damaged, and forensic personnel climbed back and forth for nearly 4 hours to obtain the bones. The son of the Singaporean couple had come to Taiwan to provide DNA samples, and after comparison, it was confirmed on the 24th January that the bones were a match, confirming that the human bones were the bones of Sim.

The police initially determined that there was a large area of landslide behind the large water pipe on the trail, and the body was buried. It may have been washed into the river valley by the typhoon rain. They searched around the discovery site but did not find other bones. The police immediately contacted the family members.
