Action star Jet Li gifts 37YO daughter car worth RM176K as wedding gift
China-born superstar Jet Li is now a father-in-law.
The 62-year-old shared the happy news on Weibo, revealing he had ordered a 300,000 yuan (RM176,846) car as a wedding gift for his eldest daughter Li Si, 37.
'She told me she really likes this car. It looks great, feels right, is comfortable to sit in and easy to use. As her father, hearing that makes me feel at ease,' the actor wrote.
Jet added that when it comes to gifts, what matters most is that his daughter truly loves them.
The martial arts legend also said he's anticipating the day the newlyweds take him for a ride.
'I'm really looking forward to getting the car soon, so the couple can take this old dad out for a spin,' he quipped.

It's worth noting that Jet seldom speaks about his daughters Li Si and Li Taimi, whom he shares with his ex-wife, former actress Huang Qiuyan. The pair divorced in 1991.
He has two other daughters – Jane, 25, and Jada, 22 – from his second marriage to retired Hong Kong actress Nina Li.
In a past interview, Jet admitted he had missed much of Li Si and Li Taimi's childhood due to his hectic schedule, often only managing to ask about their studies during conversations.
In 2024, he dismissed rumours of being on bad terms with his ex-wife and their two daughters, adding that he didn't need to explain his private life to anyone.

Japanese pop star guilty of assaulting interpreter
Japanese actor Kenshin Kamimura arrives at the West Kowloon law courts for the verdict in his sexual assault case in Hong Kong on August 13, 2025. (Photo by ISAAC LAWRENCE / AFP) Japanese pop idol Kenshin Kamimura (pic) was found guilty of a charge of indecent assault on a female interpreter in a Hong Kong court before some emotional fans. Kamimura, a former member of a Japanese boy group named ONE N' ONLY, was arrested in the southern Chinese city in March. In the same month, his contract was terminated due to a serious compliance violation. In April, he pleaded not guilty. He allegedly touched the interpreter's thigh repeatedly during a celebratory dinner at a restaurant. During the trial last month, the interpreter testified through a live video link that Kamimura had invited her to a bathroom elsewhere. After she dismissed the request and told him she had a boyfriend, Kamimura continued to touch her thigh, she said. The defence argued the interpreter exaggerated her claims and the alleged bathroom invitation might not have been based on improper motives. Judge Peter Yu handed down the conviction yesterday, saying Kamimura touched the interpreter in a caressing nature that implicitly carried a sexual undertone and had indecent intent. 'The defendant's acts are obviously disrespectful toward women,' Yu said. 'Such behaviour should be condemned.' In pleading for a lesser penalty, the defence said Kamimura previously had a promising future and paid a heavy price. After the verdict was announced, a few of Kamimura's fans wept in the courtroom. But Kamimura looked relieved and hugged his courtroom translator when the judge issued a fine of HK$15,000 (RM8,000) and no prison term. The maximum penalty for the charge is 10 years of imprisonment. — AP

Chan jokes singing puts him above rival Hung
ACTOR Jackie Chan (pic) playfully threw shade at his former martial arts classmate and rival Sammo Hung, claiming that he was more talented than the latter, reported China Press. Speaking at the Locarno Film Festival recently, the 71-year-old Hong Kong superstar claimed that he had no other peer in the filmmaking industry apart from Hung when it came to writing, directing, acting and coordinating stunts. 'However I am more talented because I can sing,' Chan quipped. Chan, who was presented with a lifetime achievement award at the festival, said his master had once asked him if he was planning to continue doing stunts when he was 60. 'I'm 71 years old now but I can still fight,' Chan said, adding that he would not have been able to continue doing this without the support from fans and the industry. Hung and Chan had the same master when training at the China Drama Academy. Using his connections, the master helped the two break into the film industry as stuntmen which kickstarted their careers. > Everyone thought a man was pulling a prank when he offered anyone in need a stack of 20,000 yuan (RM11,774) in cash at a wet market in Zhuji city, Zhejiang. Police confirmed that the money was real, reported Sin Chew Daily. 'There is a total of 20,000 yuan. If you need it, come take some,' he was filmed saying. When a passer-by asked if the cash was real, he replied, 'It is real, but no one has dared to take them yet.' Video of the incident went viral online, sparking a debate on whether it was a hoax or if it was a prank. According to police, the man, a regular in the area, was mentally unstable. However, this was the first time he had brought a stack of cash to the wet market to be given away. Police sent him home and urged family members to watch over him more carefully to prevent a similar incident from happening.

MIC Boss To Scammed Malaysian ‘National Geographic' Photographer: 'Don't Give Up, Bro!'
Subscribe to our FREE The young photographer who was fooled by a fake National Geographic letter has received some solid advice from MIC's big boss. MIC president Tan Sri S. A. Vigneswaran told the guy: 'When one door slams shut, 10 others swing open.' A few weeks ago, news sites were abuzz about how 32-year-old Tinesh Sritharan was supposedly selected for National Geographic's prestigious Explorer program in Kenya. The young photographer was so excited, he slid into Senator Dato Sivarraajh Chandran's Instagram DMs to share his good news. He presented his 'acceptance letter' and emails that looked legit enough to fool anyone. Impressed by his story, Sivarraajh took him to meet the MIC president. The boss was thrilled to meet an ambitious young Malaysian Indian and decided to back him with RM15,000 for his trip to Kenya. MIC Still Has His Back Then National Geographic dropped the bombshell: the letter was fake. 'Look, if the kid got conned, we feel bad for him,' said Sivarraajh, adding that nobody should have their dreams messed with by scammers. But MIC isn't throwing the photographer under the bus – 'The scam is in the letter, not the kid,' the former Cameron Highlands MP explained. The advice was simple: don't let this setback kill your dreams. You're already in Kenya, mate. Make the most of it and come home with photos that'll make everyone proud. According to Sivarraajh, the MIC leader has no problem with the photographer continuing his work in Kenya, fake letter or not. Photographer Calls Out the Scam Professional photographer Syahrin Abd Aziz was one of the first to suspect something was amiss with the entire National Geographic story. He pointed out major red flags: the guy had to fund his own 'assignment,' his animal photos were actually taken at Zoo Negara, and nobody in Malaysia's tight-knit photography scene had ever heard of him. 'Getting an assignment from National Geographic isn't easy – you need a powerful portfolio and extensive experience,' Syahrin explained. He emphasised that National Geographic rarely works with newcomers, preferring established photographers who are already household names in the field of photojournalism. The photographer noted that when National Geographic assigns real assignments, they provide a representative and cover the costs – they don't require you to pay your own way. In Malaysia's photography scene, we all know each other, so whatever we do, the community will find out. READ MORE : Parts of this story have been sourced from .
