He shared a picture of them both in the trending Ghibli style via a Facebook post on Sunday (May 11).

Zhang Yaodong expresses gratitude for support over being a stallholder in SG
Zhang Yaodong formally introduced his stall in his first-ever TikTok, after he was spotted manning the stall in early June. Photos: Zhang Yaodong/TikTok, Xiaohongshu More than a week after Zhang Yaodong was spotted manning a steamed food stall in the Tampines industrial area, the Singapore-based Malaysian actor took to TikTok on June 11 to express his gratitude to his friends and supporters. The 47-year-old filmed it within the vicinity of his stall, starting the video by briefly panning over the signboard to show its offerings. Tagging the location as a coffeeshop at Blk 9012 Tampines Street 93, the former Mediacorp artiste formally introduced his stall in his first-ever TikTok. He wrote in the caption: 'A new beginning. Thank you for being part of it. That day at the stall was a wake-up call. Your kindness gave me strength to reflect and figure out my next steps. The road ahead is mine to walk — and it's a path I've chosen for myself. I'll be sharing this journey with you.' In early June, a social media user posted the first sighting of Zhang standing in front of the cash register and appearing to be taking orders from customers. Amid the hustle and bustle, the user noted that he was polite and humble, and he was working that day because his employee had resigned. On March 18, a Facebook post by the Tampines Small and Medium Enterprises Association (TSMEA) indicated that Zhang's stall was newly opened during that period and serves traditonal steamed dishes like egg, meat, fish and prawns. Zhang said in his video: 'I know there were many friends, even loyal customers, who took pictures of me helping out here last week. I am very grateful for all the encouragement I've received on social media. 'I would like to take the opportunity to thank the people by my side who have been silently supporting me, as well as the friends who have come over after seeing the reports.' He also credited his long-time friend Catherine Chew for encouraging him to create a TikTok account. 'I'm touched by her sincerity, as well as her eagerness for the public to see another side of me. She has also introduced me to several bosses, who want to collaborate with me on TikTok in the future.' The bachelor's image took a hit in July 2024 when rumours surfaced about him fathering children out of wedlock with women of different nationalities. In November 2024, Zhang took to Instagram to commemorate his holiday to South Korea with his two daughters, confirming his fatherhood for the first time. In February, Mediacorp's talent management agency The Celebrity Agency stated it was no longer representing him and he has not participated in the filming of any new shows. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

#SHOWBIZ: Sukarni Jaafar: Raja Ema did not stop her children from visiting Sheqal
KUALA LUMPUR: Veteran actress Sukarni Jaafar has appealed to netizens to stop criticising her niece, fellow veteran actress Raja Ema. She has also refuted claims that Raja Ema prevented her children from visiting their ailing father, veteran singer Sheqal. In an interview with Berita Harian yesterday, Sukarni stated that netizens were unaware of the difficulties Raja Ema and her two sons, Putera Ammar and Putera Al-Kasyah, have faced over the years. Sukarni added that Raja Ema was deeply hurt by the criticisms and had even broken down in tears. "I hope people stop criticising Raja Ema. They don't know what she has been going through," Sukarni urged. "Raja Ema has never stopped her children from visiting Sheqal. As an aunt, I know what is going on, but I don't want to talk about it publicly in order to protect the good name of both parties." Earlier, Sheqal's wife, 58-year-old Normah Mohd Yusoff, expressed her hope that both of her husband's children with Raja Ema would visit their father while he was still alive. Normah revealed that she had never seen them visit their father since marrying Sheqal 25 years ago. She hoped Sheqal's sons would visit him soon, as this might be their last opportunity. Sheqal is suffering from a serious kidney ailment and has been admitted to Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital in Seremban since last Thursday. Raja Ema recently posted a status on her Facebook account, writing: "No matter what, let's be good-mannered, especially in family matters. Don't forget manners." Raja Ema and Sheqal were married from 1993 to 1999 and have two sons, Putera Ammar and Putera Al-Kasyah.

#SHOWBIZ: HK actor Chapman To celebrates 20th wedding anniversary with actress Kristal Tin
HONG KONG: Taiwanese actor based in Hong Kong Chapman To and former TVB star Kristal Tin recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with a small gathering of close friends. Among the guests was veteran actor Anthony Wong, who travelled specifically to Taiwan to join the couple for their milestone celebration. On 7 June, To, 53, shared a throwback photo on social media from his 2005 wedding to Tin, 47. The picture showed them surrounded by famous friends like Andy Lau, Wong Jing, and Shawn Yue. The couple originally tied the knot in June 2005 after dating for six years. "Today, 20 years later, some people remain while others have moved on. I wish everyone happiness. To me, happiness means letting go of the past, not worrying about the future, and simply embracing the present moment," To captioned his Facebook post. The Hong Kong-born artiste also uploaded a photo with Anthony Wong to his Instagram Story, noting that the 63-year-old is the only groomsman he's still in touch with after two decades. He rounded off the celebration by posting a short video of Tin speaking about how he had transformed her life. Meanwhile, Tin took to Instagram to reflect on how her understanding of the word "tolerance" has changed over the years. The Brother's Keeper (2012) star admitted she once viewed the term negatively, saying: "Why do I have to tolerate things after marriage? Didn't we love each other so much that we couldn't help but be together in the first place?" However, Tin shared that her perspective has now shifted. She no longer sees tolerance as putting up with flaws, but rather as peacefully accepting them. "Happy 20th anniversary. Please continue to give me your guidance in the future," she wrote, alongside a photo of herself with To and their pet bulldog.
