The gathering, attended by a few close friends, took place on 29 July when the couple was in Malaysia to attend a restaurant opening, according to Sin Chew Daily. One clip showed Cheng smiling as he held his cake, with his wife dancing playfully beside him. Another captured the couple sharing a quick kiss, which drew loud cheers from their friends.

#SHOWBIZ: Medical doctor to Green Power Ranger: The remarkable journey of Jason Chan
SINGAPORE: More than two decades after he first appeared as the Green Samurai Ranger, Jason Chan continues to captivate fans who grew up watching him. In a CNA report, the 54-year-old Malaysia-born Australian, who played the fan-favourite character in Power Rangers Ninja Storm (2003), shared a recent encounter on a bus where a man, recognising him, confessed, "You were such a big part of my life growing up." Chan's portrayal of Cameron Watanabe stood out for many Asian viewers. At a time when Asian representation on television was scarce, seeing an Asian superhero on screen—especially one as "sarcastic, tough, and edgy" as the Green Ranger—was particularly empowering. Interestingly, before becoming an actor, Chan was on a completely different path. After his family moved from Kuala Lumpur to Perth, Australia, when he was five, he followed a conventional route, enrolling in medical school. However, a gruelling internship year made him realise it wasn't the right fit. He recalled sitting alone at 3am after a 16-hour shift, questioning his life's direction. "There's nothing creative in this at all," he remembered thinking. Seeking a creative outlet, he began taking acting classes at night. This new passion was so strong that he would stay up until the early hours of the morning talking about it with friends. It was during this time that he realised his true calling. Although he graduated with a medical degree and worked as a doctor for three years, he eventually left the profession to pursue a full-time Bachelor's programme at the renowned National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney. He paid his way through school by working as a locum doctor on weekends. Chan was told by an auditioner that it was rare to encourage someone to leave a "good profession" for the "horrible" world of acting. But the auditioner said some people are born to act, and if they don't express what they have to say, it will bother them for the rest of their lives. That resonated with him, cementing his decision. The Green Ranger role, which he landed a year after graduating from acting school, became a global launchpad for his career. When asked if he regretted leaving medicine, Chan's answer was an emphatic no. He said the transition was "incredibly easy" because he was "miserable on one side and so incredibly happy" living in a run-down house with no money while at acting school. More than 20 years later, the show's impact remains. Chan still owns his original Green Ranger costume, though he admits it no longer fits. After his Power Rangers season concluded, he moved to Singapore in 2006. Here, his career flourished, as he found he was being considered for leading roles in local productions like the film The Leap Years and a stage musical. This was a welcome change from the often stereotypical roles offered to Asian actors in Australia. In 2009, he and fellow actor Christian Lee co-founded a video production company, BananaMana Films. Their passion project, the web series Perfect Girl, won multiple awards and was eventually acquired by Netflix, becoming the first Singaporean drama on the global streaming giant. Building on that success, they produced the award-winning feature film Jimami Tofu in 2017. Chan's enduring passion for creativity has led to his latest venture, Cinewav, an audio-tech firm that provides high-quality, synchronised audio for outdoor screenings. The technology allows audiences to stream sound from their phones, eliminating the need for large speakers and reducing noise complaints. "We always look back and go: 'look where we were five years ago, look where we were 10 years ago…' And we've come this far," he said.

China's favourite 'ugly' products celebrated with exhibition
From sandals inspired by cabbage leaves to a tower of misshapen cat pillows, a new exhibition in Hangzhou is celebrating the weirdest and most aesthetically unappealing products available for sale online in China. The 'Era of Uglies Has Arrived' exhibition, organised for the first time this year by Alibaba-owned e-commerce giant Taobao, spotlights more than 300 products that have won or been shortlisted for the platform's annual Ugly Stuff Competition, also known as the Uglies Award. People visit the exhibition 'Era of Uglies Has Arrived' by Alibaba's Taobao, in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, China August 13, 2025. REUTERS/Nicoco Chan Yu Hu, project lead for the Uglies Award, said the Era of Uglies attracted more than 3,000 visitors a day during its run from late July to mid-August. "Ugly" products on Taobao have generated more than 100 million yuan (RM58,803,880) in sales since 2020, according to Alibaba, with Yu estimating current growth rates for the sector in the "double or triple digits."

REUTERS/Nicoco Chan Younger consumers are fuelling the popularity of these unprepossessing products because they want to express their individuality, Yu added. As the economy languishes, they are also looking for affordable luxuries, a phenomenon known as emotional consumption. "In recent years, emotional consumption has become more and more of a 'blue ocean', meaning it's becoming increasingly popular, turning into a new (spending) track," Yu said.

REUTERS/Nicoco Chan Ugly-cute accessory Labubu is a well-known example of the phenomenon, sparking a global buying frenzy with its wide eyes and toothy grin, and winning celebrity fans including Rihanna and David Beckham. For some visitors, the exhibition was a reflection on the meaning of beauty, while others saw it as a lesson in creative thinking. "Ugliness is another form of beauty," said exhibition visitor Mei Duo, 55. "There's so much creativity, (it's) a special type of beauty." – Reuters
