Wong Ming-fong, 60, was last seen at Tai Wo Sports Centre, his family wrote in an online appeal posted on Tuesday.
“After he left his wife at around noon, his son tried to call his phone number at 2pm but no one answered, but the phone rang. At 4pm, the call went to voicemail,” said Daisy Wong, the man’s sister.
“He didn’t say anything before he left the house. His family and I don’t know anything about his plans for the day. It is likely that he has a lot of time on his hands since he’s retired. He goes hiking often.”
She said at the time that police’s New Territories North regional missing persons unit had not opened an investigation into the case.
