Ex-TVB star Lee Lung Kei, 74, embraces 38YO fiancee upon her release from prison
Hong Kong actor Lee Lung Kei is overjoyed by the release of his 38-year-old fiancee Chris Wong from prison on Monday (July 7).
Wong, a Chinese national whose real name is Wang Qingxia, was sentenced to jail by the Shatin Magistrates' Court in June 2024 after pleading guilty to five charges related to overstaying in Hong Kong and forging university certificates to obtain entry permit.
She was deported upon her release and entered mainland China via the Shenzhen Bay Immigration Control Point.
According to Hong Kong media, Lee, 74, arrived at the immigration hall at 2pm with a bouquet of pink roses in hand.
After an hour of waiting, Wong finally appeared, prompting Lee to joyfully call out 'Wife!' before rushing to embrace her.
When approached by reporters, Wong stayed silent and hid behind Lee.
However, the former TVB star was all smiles as he shared: 'I'm very happy. I've been waiting for a long time. I'll see what she would like to eat and take her out for a meal. I'll make sure she looks beautiful.'
Lee, best known for his role as the Jade Emperor in the 1996 drama Journey To The West and its 1998 sequel, had consistently shown support for Wong, even after her arrest.
Throughout her time behind bars, the actor wrote her letters every one to two weeks to keep her spirits up.
In a previous interview, Lee shared his hopes of marrying Wong and leading a quiet, simple life together after her release – away from the gossip that has followed their romance since they went public in 2020.
He reportedly purchased a gold bracelet earlier this year in preparation for their wedding, which is expected to take place sometime this month.

Axiata Arena buzzes with G-Dragon fans chasing tickets and soaking up the energy
KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 — As the clock ticks down, groups of eager G-Dragon fans can be seen gathered outside Axiata Arena, in the hope of securing last-minute tickets to the highly anticipated show The famous South Korean singer-songwriter is set to take centre stage for the final night of his G-Dragon 2025 World Tour Übermensch in Kuala Lumpur. By around 5pm, the area surrounding Axiata Arena is already packed with fans, with many lining up for the show, while others flock to the official merchandise booth. Previously, it was widely reported that many local fans couldn't get their G-Dragon tickets due to website crashes and allegations of online ticket scalpers. Malay Mail spotted several groups of Malaysian fans gathered in the area, trying their luck to secure any last-minute tickets from resellers. Some can be seen waiting near the entrance while holding placards with the initials WTB (Want To Buy) on them. Local G-Dragon fans with placards looking to buy tickets. — Picture by Arif Zikri A fan, who just wants to be known as Wong, told Malay Mail that she and her group of three friends have spent around an hour looking for resellers. 'One reseller approached me but his price was too expensive. 'He was selling the Category 1 tickets for RM2,900, but the original price is just around RM1,000. 'My budget, I have right now is just around RM1,500 only,' Wong said. She added that she was among G-Dragon fans who couldn't get tickets online when they were first released, as she said she couldn't even get into the website after countless tries. Meanwhile, Crystal, another fan who is also looking for tickets, said that she too was approached by a reseller selling tickets for between RM2,000 and RM4,000. 'It's too expensive. My budget is RM1,000 and below. 'I'm just going to wait here until 6pm but if no luck, I will just go home then,' Crystal said. As for 22-year-old Dayah, she came on both days of the concert in hopes of securing a ticket for herself, but just like the others, she was still unsuccessful. 'Yesterday I came here since 7.30am and I waited until around 8.30pm. 'I was approached by a reseller, the show has already started at that time, but he is still selling tickets for RM2,500. 'There are also those who tried to sell up to RM10,000,' Dayah said.

Some of them, who also failed to secure tickets during the online sale, were just there to soak in the vibes while exchanging fan-made merchandise with each other. This is the case for 34-year-old Mimi Zira, who came with her friend Hajar. Both of them said that they had already accepted that they might not get a ticket for the show, but instead of just going home, they chose to hang around the area and enjoy the atmosphere with other like-minded fans. 'We've been collecting fan-made freebies all day now and there are a lot of them here actually. 'Although we didn't get to see G-Dragon live, at least we're able to celebrate with other fans here,' she said. The G-Dragon 2025 World Tour Übermensch in Kuala Lumpur is organised by local organiser Star Planet. G-Dragon's next show will be in Jakarta, Indonesia, on July 25 and 26 at the Indonesia Arena. Just like Malaysia, both of his Indonesia shows have already sold out.

Badminton stars Tang Jie and Yi Fan's 88.8 per cent 'love match'
KUALA LUMPUR: Are Malaysia's Chen Tang Jie and China's Jia Yi Fan badminton's latest power couple? Photos and videos of Tang Jie and Yi Fan appearing together at a recent official event have gone viral, setting social media abuzz with speculation about a possible romance between the mixed doubles shuttler and the Chinese women's doubles ace. Neither has commented publicly, but that hasn't stopped online sleuths from launching full-blown investigations, analysing emojis, interpreting glances, and even claiming there's an "88.8 per cent chance" the rumours are true. Adding fuel to the fire, netizens cheekily weighed in with playful jabs. "Not bad. Soon Malaysia will have more women coaches," one user quipped, a nod to the growing trend of Malaysian male shuttlers forming close friendships with foreign female players. Others joked this could be a new "strategy" to help recruit international talent into the national fold. But amid the memes and mockery, some fans have called for restraint. "Whatever their status, what matters is their performance on court. Gossip doesn't earn ranking points," one commenter posted. On the competitive front, both players fell short of reaching the final at the Japan Jie and his mixed doubles partner Toh Ee Wei lost in the semi-finals to China's world No. 2 pair Jiang Zhen Bang-Wei Ya Xin. Yi Fan, who plays women's doubles with Zhang Shu Xian, also bowed out in the semis, losing to eventual champions Liu Sheng Shu-Tan Ning. Badminton has seen its fair share of high-profile romances. Among Malaysia's most famous are Datuk Lee Chong Wei and Datin Wong Mew Choo, and current mixed pair Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai. Last month, Malaysian doubles ace Ong Yew Sin tied the knot with former Japanese singles star Aya Ohori. Other international love matches include Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang, Chen Long and Wang Shixian (both China), Alan Budi Kusuma and Susi Susanti (Indonesia), and Chris and Gabrielle Adcock (England).

Can Singapore maintain its ‘exclusive' concerts going forward?
IN the snaking lines for Lady Gaga merchandise at the Singapore Sports Hub's foyer in May, one could hear a smattering of Tagalog and Vietnamese, Thai and Hindi, and mainland Chinese Mandarin among the chatter. It was a smorgasbord sampling of fans from Asia and beyond, who had descended on Singapore for Lady Gaga's only shows in the region. As with Taylor Swift's runaway success of sold-out shows in March 2024, the Republic had once again managed to work out such a deal – making sure that Lady Gaga performed only there. Besides the economic boost, this strategy of securing international superstars for Singapore-exclusive shows could fuel the country's aspirations of being a global entertainment epicentre – and is one that should be pursued for as long as possible. Swift set a high bar, With six shows that sold over 300,000 tickets, Swift's concerts – combined with British band Coldplay's six shows in January 2024 – injected up to S$450mil (RM1.5bil) into the Singapore economy, bringing in high international visitor arrivals, hotel occupancy rates and tourism revenue, according to private-sector estimates. Economists estimated that Gaga's concerts have generated as much as S$150mil in tourism receipts but it appeared that tickets took longer to sell. The rise in business during the week of the Gaga shows was far less pronounced than when Coldplay and Swift were in town in 2024. While Gaga also has a smaller and niched following, 2025 has also been a slow year for business due to the shaky global economy. Still, paradoxically, tourism experts say the climate of global economic uncertainty could encourage spending on such one-off events. Associate Professor Kuan-Huei Lee, director of programmes, business, communication and design at the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), said: 'During periods of crisis and economic uncertainty, individuals may increase their spending on emotional or aspirational goods and experiences that they perceive as 'once-in-a-lifetime' events, such as a Lady Gaga concert.' Can the formula be repeated? Lady Gaga's recent run of shows marks the second time in two years that a major international act has chosen Singapore as its only regional stop. However, pulling off such 'once-in-a-lifetime' events on a regular basis could be a challenge. Not only is it contingent on mega artistes' touring schedules and attracting them to Singapore, but other countries in the region could also emulate the Republic's strategy. But observers agree that Singapore is well placed to keep the momentum going. Several key factors make it a preferred choice in the region, noted tourism expert Benjamin Cassim, senior lecturer at the School of Business at Temasek Polytechnic. These include the availability of hospitality and tourism infrastructure for travelling artistes, their teams and visitors attending the concerts, as well as venues with a proven track record that are equipped to deliver in terms of size and technical support. Accessibility is another element, including the ease of getting to Singapore, and travelling within it safely, with an efficient public transport system that is close to venues. Cassim noted that the Republic has already established itself as a premier entertainment and sports events destination, not just within the Asia-Pacific region, but also globally. 'A major catalyst for this transformation is probably the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix event that Singapore started hosting in 2008,' he said. The F1 Singapore GP's consistently stacked and high-quality off-track entertainment line-ups – with concerts by A-listers, built around the marquee race event – have been a template that has since been imitated by other F1 races around the world. 'The more concert and entertainment events Singapore hosts, the more experience the relevant stakeholders get at honing their craft,' said Cassim. 'This increases our levels of expertise to successfully deliver top-notch events.' For concert promoters as well, Singapore is a reliable choice, though it is the most expensive in the region. It costs about 25% to 30% more to stage a concert here, compared with other places in the region such as Seoul, Bangkok and Jakarta, noted Zaran Vachha, co-founder of independent touring company Collective Minds. 'Bringing someone like Lady Gaga here costs millions of dollars, and at that level, they don't want things to go wrong,' he said. 'And in the region, despite it being the most expensive, Singapore is the least risky place to do that – in terms of everything from securing venues, licensing, approvals and visas (for artistes and crew), to (ensuring) ticket demand. 'It's a safety net for both promoters and artistes.' Securing the next big fish While Singapore has a first-mover advantage in this space, and the ability to make it happen again, it should pursue this 'Singapore-exclusive' strategy for as long as it can before others catch up. 'Replicating Singapore's advantages as a tourist destination is challenging,' said SIT's Prof Lee, noting that organising such events involves well-oiled coordination between the public and private sectors – the government, venue operators, lodging and logistics. She added: 'As neighbouring countries continue to lag behind in competing with Singapore, it is crucial for Singapore to secure exclusive agreements. 'These should align with fan travel patterns, capitalise on logistical strengths, integrate additional activities for tourists to enjoy outside the concert, and closely observe emerging competitors in the region to adapt and adjust.' In 2024, Singapore hit a record S$29.8bil in tourism receipts, driven largely by visitors from markets such as China, Indonesia and Australia, said the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). Between January and September 2024, tourism receipts showed that spending grew across all categories, led by the sightseeing, entertainment and gaming category, which increased by 25 % to S$4.6bil. STB's outlook for 2025 is even more bullish, with expectations of receiving 17 million to 18.5 million international visitors, bringing in S$29bil to S$30.5bil in tourism receipts, surpassing 2024's numbers. After 2024's sold-out shows by Taylor Swift and 2025's run of shows by Lady Gaga, perhaps Singapore should angle for its next big fish in 2026. With such marquee concert events in the year attracting top tourism eyeballs and dollars, and with Singapore shifting priorities to quality tourism instead of quantity in terms of visitor numbers, the Republic must strike while the iron is hot – and continue on its rodeo run to lasso the highest stratosphere of superstars in the world. There is a very limited list of such stars, and one Beyonce Knowles-Carter – currently on her reportedly 94% sold-out run of Cowboy Carter shows around the US and Europe for 2025 – happens to be on it. — The Straits Times/ANN
