You gotch visit your laopei laobu every day?

What if the 'family members' mentioned in the report are not the children? And instead are elderly siblings, or extended family like nieces and nephews?

You gotch visit your siblings and uncles/aunts every day?

They don't reply your message, you gotch jitao go down to their house and check on them?

Maybe these ppl once no reply will go to their uncle house then when see him will say...u still alive ah...

another day, another rotten corpse discovered. Curryna 1 day no contact should go liao still drag for 7 days.

Yes. That is why one should have daily/almost daily messaging. This can be lifesaving for those staying alone.

Normal. Sg Govt should install home alarms in everyone staying alone

All BBFAs should be tagged with GPS monitors.

Once the heartbeat stops, a clean up crew is dispatched to sanitize the site. The apartment can also be refurbished for the next better player.

It would be as if said BBFA never existed.

That's provided if the elderly knows how to message

It’s an issue that’s hard to solve.

elderly ppl can be quite difficult to live with.

some may not want maid. Even those who get maids, the maids may not want to work there for long.

some don’t want to go out socialize or go day care centre

social workers are not really active. Some elderlys may turn away social workers too, ie chase them away.

so in the end only left family members. So family members need to take a more proactive approach. Even if don’t stay with the elderly, try to visit daily. Daily 2 hours also good. Take turns to visit if possible.

next thing is neighbours. Try to look out for each other. But nowadays most neighbours also just mind their own biz. Kampong spirit is dead.

Rest in peace

That's provided if the elderly knows how to message

like during COVID-19 days, messaging is a life skill. Daily SMS or phone calls also help. Going further would be life monitoring, fall detection, etc. Going for daily kopi helps the rest look out for the seniors.
