Mr. Liu, Zeng Sairu’s son, said that during a meeting with a representative of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department yesterday (19th), the other party revealed that part of the deceased mother’s long service payment and retirement pension were used to pay gratuity. Regardless of family members’ feelings and inhumane feelings, "this is my grandmother’s hard-earned money!" Regarding the sudden death of his mother, Mr. Liu pointed out that the family was left with grief and missed, and he also felt that the way forward is boundless. He refers to the family members today (20th). We will meet with representatives of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department again and hope that the department will explain the cause of death and compassionate arrangements for the deceased mother as soon as possible.
Enquiries have been made to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department regarding the incident "Hong Kong 01".

Mr. Liu, the eldest son of the 55-year-old female deceased Zeng Sairu, told "Hong Kong 01" that yesterday (19) representatives of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department met with family members to discuss the pension arrangements for the deceased. The author’s pension is, "This is my grandma’s hard-earned money. It is not a compassion at all, it is the money my grandma deserves."
Mr. Liu frankly confessed that after receiving the news, there was a thunderbolt, feeling that the method was "wool comes from the sheep", and questioned the department's "coolness" and unkindness.
He said that in the meeting with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department yesterday, the department staff did not clearly point out the cause of the accident, and the other party failed to provide information such as maintenance and inspection records. Even the cause of the mother's death was still unknown. He hoped that the department would provide details as soon as possible.
He continued that his mother has been working in the government for nearly 20 years and has been awarded the Outstanding Civil Service Award. She has served in the Horticulture Department of the FEHD and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, and transferred to work in the Tree Section of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department about 8 years ago.
Mr. Liu helplessly said: "The life of the family has improved in recent years. I know that my mother suddenly left." The family feels hesitated, helpless and worried about her mother's death in the line of duty. Liu pointed out that his father has retired. Life is difficult, and I am currently worried about the funeral expenses.
