Taiwan-based Malaysian singer Gary Chaw reportedly hasn't moved on from ex-wife: 'Still in pain'
The 46-year-old recently shared on Xiaohongshu (Red Note) a video of himself singing his 2019 song I'm Just A Fool – a ballad in which he confronts his shortcomings and expresses his unconditional devotion.
The post quickly drew attention, with many netizens praising Chaw's soulful vocals, while others shared how the performance evoked a deep sense of nostalgia.
According to China Press, Chaw also left two comments about Wu under his video.
The former couple, who divorced in November 2022 after 14 years of marriage, share two children – Joe, 16, and Grace, 14.
'I still haven't forgotten Shuling,' read one of the comments.
'Actually, I'm still in pain,' he wrote in another.
It's reported that Chaw later deleted both comments mentioning Wu.
This isn't the first time the singer has shown that he's still struggling to move on.
In July 2023, Chaw made a series of Instagram posts about his ex-wife and their children – including a throwback wedding photo of him and Wu smiling blissfully.
'I'm messed up... But I still love her,' he wrote at that time.
A few months later, while performing his song Zhang Wen during a concert in Taipei, Chaw altered the original lyric 'There is no winning or losing' to 'There is no Shuling'.
'I still love her… Taking it one step at a time,' he said back then.

Malaysia's zaniest and craziest hotel crew is back - and fans can start buckling up for all-out laughter in 'Boleh Saya Bantu? 2'
They are a crazy lot and top it up tops in being zany, and naturally, the "Boleh Saya Bantu" gang is back for a second season, and that too by immense popular demand. After the success of its first season, the immensely popular "Boleh Saya Bantu" team is back to rib-tickle and delight their many, many fans. Directed by Shuhaimi Lua, the main man of the show has promised that viewers that the latest edition promises to be more laugh-riot, more dramatic, and more 'messy'. If previously the audience was presented with the humorous antics of the Tea Tree hotel workers who faced various guest troubles, this time their journey continues with a deeper and more colorful narrative, interspersed with personal conflicts that will change everything for the zany lot. The same cast that has been the mainstay since the beginning, fills the screen once again, including Andi Bernadee, Riena Diana, Mark Adam, Wanie Ooi and Nasz Sally, along with the appearance of new characters such as Aliff Hadi. To top up the cast recipe, this season is also graced with special appearances by influential Malaysian artists such as Fadlan Hazim, Khatijah Tan, Joey Daud, Muaz Zabir, Josiah Hogan, Ropie, Fizo Omar, and many more. Viewers will be taken into the twists and turns of Nasar's (Andi Bernadee) life after going through a sudden divorce from Jannah. Now assigned to manage the Love Wave Hotel, a hotel owned by Tuan Joe that is almost bankrupt, with Datuk Sudin (Mark Adam), his life becomes increasingly complicated when he gets entangled in a love triangle between Farida (Riena Diana) and Haiza (Wanie Ooi). Nasar, who initially tried to keep his divorce situation a secret, finally came to terms with it when his status was revealed, but insisted on staying away from any commitment as he was still haunted by the trauma of his failed marriage. Things became even more chaotic when he was persuaded to get back together with Jannah, something he refused to accept. Despite the emotional turmoil, the mission to save the Love Wave Hotel operation is also beset by various trials of its own. A series of unexpected incidents begin to occur, from the presence of suspicious guests, mysterious calls, the appearance of a modern shaman (bomoh moden), to the discovery of a new incident that will determine Farida's true soulmate. Can Nasar give his full attention to managing the hotel when his own emotions are still disturbed? And what is the secret hidden behind the disruptions that suddenly keep appearing in their life and the hotel? Andi Bernadee, who returns to play the main character as Nasar, admits that it is not an easy role, let alone portraying the character of a widower who is full of internal conflicts. 'I have never been married, so trying to understand the emotions of a man who has failed in a relationship is challenging,' he said. For Andi, the character of Nasar also carries a meaningful message by showing the emotional side of a man, especially when faced with pressure in his career and personal life. "I also chatted and got information from friends who are married and have gone through this problem. I tried to delve into their lives. Some struggled and some just went on with life, and the sentence I remember the most is, 'life must go on.' I understand that there are definitely sad times and happy times. So I took an approach based on the script of this drama," added Andi. But the much-awaited series is not just a love story and comedy, but also touches on the various challenging realities faced by hotel workers, a life that is rarely given the spotlight on television. According to Riena Diana, who plays Farida, "There are scenes that are very close to reality, such as issues of physical and mental abuse in relationships, dangerous cosmetics, and career women who are willing to support 'living lizards'. Each scene in this drama brings its interpretation, reflecting the reality of society from the perspective of hotel workers." "Boleh Saya Bantu? 2" begins on Friday (Aug 8, 2025), every Friday and Saturday, at 9pm on Lestary TV3 slot. Stream new episodes 24 hours in advance at or download the Tonton app via Google Play and App Store.

Jackie Chan makes rare appearance with 42YO son Jaycee in Switzerland
Jackie Chan has a 42-year-old son Jaycee with former actress Joan Lin. Photos: China Press, Xiaohongshu American singer-actor Jaycee Chan, the son of Hong Kong icon Jackie Chan, has largely kept a low profile since his 2014 drug scandal. At the time, Jackie, 71, voiced his disappointment in his son and stated he would not use his connections to help him. The pair only reconciled after Jaycee, 42, completed his six-month prison sentence and have rarely been seen together in public… until recently. On Wednesday (Aug 6), a netizen on Xiaohongshu revealed that they had unexpectedly run into Jackie and his son at Lake Geneva in Switzerland. The post included a photo of Jackie – dressed casually in an all-white outfit – strolling alongside a few others. Although Jaycee's face wasn't visible in the picture, the netizen said he was the one wearing a black cap. 'I was sitting on a chair by the lake, just daydreaming, when I turned around and saw Jackie Chan! The guy in the black cap next to him was Jaycee, but I didn't manage to snap a photo of him,' the user wrote. It's understood that Jackie is in Switzerland to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 78th Locarno Film Festival, scheduled for Aug 9. Prior to the 2014 drug scandal, the father-son duo appeared together in films such as The Twins Effect II (2004) and 1911 (2011), where they showcased their on-screen chemistry. Jaycee is the only son of Jackie and his wife, former actress Joan Lin. The action star has an estranged 25-year-old daughter, Etta Ng Chok Lam, from an extramarital affair with former beauty queen Elaine Ng.

RM32 Fried Rice, RM11 teh o ais limau? M'sian says ‘No Fuiyoh' to Uncle Roger's overhyped eatery
A Malaysian man's recent dining experience at Uncle Roger's Restaurant has sparked debate online after he claimed the food wasn't worth the RM370 he paid. Steven Chan took to Facebook to share a detailed review of his visit to the Mid Valley Southkey outlet, listing 16 items he and his group ordered, which included service charges and SST. ALSO READ: Hong Kong content creator calls Uncle Roger's new KL restaurant 'worst dining experience' While price was a concern, Steven's main issue was the food quality. 'I ordered the cheapest fried rice for RM16. 'The owner asked if I wanted to add anything. I said garlic prawns, and that added another RM16 — but I only got five bland prawns. Total RM32. One bite in, and my heart sank,' he wrote. 'Even the boss double-checked the bill, asking, 'How did simple fried rice cost RM37?' Yeah, I want to know that too. 'As for the fried dumplings — sure, they were stuffed, but still felt way overpriced,' he lamented. 'I also ordered Uncle Roger's 'favourite drink' — RM11.50, and it turned out to be just a teh o ais limau. 'Sorry Uncle Roger. No Fuiyoh, No Next Time,' he stated. In conclusion, he advised others to skip the restaurant unless they're die-hard fans. 'Unless you're really craving for it, don't go. This is the kind of place you try once and never return,' he said. Since its opening in September 2024, Uncle Roger's Restaurant — founded by Malaysian comedian Nigel Ng, famous for his viral food critique videos — has received mixed reviews, with many diners pointing out long waiting times and inconsistent food standards. Steven's post triggered swift reactions online, with some netizens siding with him while others argued that he had the choice not to eat there in the first place. One user called Wong Ta Fat wrote: 'The expensive part isn't even the food — it's the 'IQ tax' that cost RM300, while the actual food was just RM70. I have no interest at all in trying these kinds of restaurants.' '6 plates of fried rice, 1 fried noodles, 6 bottles of water, 1 serving of satay, and 2 portions of mala dumplings. The average price per item came to RM23.18, including service charge and tax. Comparable to prices at a shopping mall — though the portion sizes, that's another question,' Vincent Yeap pointed out.
