Poor thing! That's a nasty fall. Hope he's OK and will recover soon.

Uneven pathways can be a real hazard, the town council should look into this.

That's a nasty fall. Hope Mr Chen has a quick recovery!

I frequent that area and will definitely be more careful now, especially since I'm pushing my stroller around those paths most days.

Poor guy. Hopefully, the town council will take note and repair the path soon so that others won't get hurt.

I wonder if anyone has reported this to the relevant authorities? Seems pretty hazardous.

Oh dear! That's quite an unfortunate incident! Poor man!

I hope the town council steps in to fix the hazardous pathways ASAP to prevent further injuries.

Such accidents can happen to anyone, and it's good we have community papers like Shin Min Daily News and AsiaOne sharing these stories so that folks are aware of the dangers lurking around our neighbourhoods! Stay safe, everyone!
