Injured Mirror dancer regains mobility
Boyband Mirror's dancer Mo Lee Kai-yin has regained mobility but needs to rebuild his muscles, his father has revealed months after a shocking incident at the Hong Kong Coliseum.
In a letter yesterday, Mo's Baptist clergyman father Derek Li Shing-lam thanked the medical team for taking care of Mo and providing treatment during the holiday period.
Although Mo has regained mobility in his shoulders, neck, chest, and abdomen, Li said, he was calling on people to keep praying for 28-year-old Mo to rebuild his muscles and for nerve connections to be restored after receiving magnetotherapy, electrical stimulation, brain waves and acupuncture.
Li also mentioned stem cell therapy.
That can promote the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional or injured tissue using stem cells or their derivatives.
It was on July 28 last year that a giant screen set above a performance stage fell during a Mirror show at the Coliseum, injuring Mo and leaving him in danger of being paralyzed from the neck down.
Two other dancers, Chang Tsz-fung and Zisac Law Tak-chi, were also injured, though not as seriously as Mo.
Officers of the Labour Department have already initiated 15 prosecutions against three contractors - Engineering Impact, Hip Hing Loong Stage Engineering and Studiodanz - who were involved in the equipment setup for the Mirror show at the Coliseum. The three companies will be appearing at Kowloon City Magistrates' Courts on May 25.
They have been accused of offenses including failing to provide people with safe systems for working, failing to notify the commissioner for labor of accidents and not taking out insurance against someone being injured.
And three employees of Engineering Impact - the main contractor of the Mirror Coliseum concert - will appear at District Court on Thursday to face charges of conspiracy to defraud by falsifying equipment data to get approval from authorities.
The trio comprise project managers Ng Hoi-ying, 41, and Joseph Leung Yiu-cho, 48, and technical coordinator Lam Chi-wah, 60.
Each is charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud and a joint count of fraud for allegedly making false declarations about the weight of stage equipment in the performance application to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
