Stock commentator Sham Chun-ying passes away at 65

Renowned stock commentator Sham Chun-ying, widely known as ‘Master Sham’, has passed away at the age of 65. He reportedly collapsed on a street in Wan Chai on a Saturday night and died after receiving emergency treatment at Ruttonjee Hospital.

Sham had a known medical history of heart disease and diabetes. Notably, just one day prior to his passing, he had mentioned during an online program that his blood sugar levels had returned to normal, during which he was seen consuming cola. His death has prompted medical professionals to highlight the risks of ‘urban diseases’ such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia.

Doctors warn that these conditions are increasingly affecting younger populations due to fast-paced lifestyles, irregular eating habits, sleep deprivation, and high stress. Because these issues often present no obvious symptoms, medical experts advise individuals over the age of 40 to undergo regular health screenings to prevent serious complications like myocardial infarction or sudden death.
