#SHOWBIZ: HK actress Ali Lee falls ill while filming in Malaysia
In the series, she stars opposite fellow Hong Kong actor Chris Lai Lok-yi.
According to an article from Sin Chew Daily, Lee had to take ten different types of medication, including painkillers and sore throat remedies, while she was unwell.
Thankfully, the medicine helped, and she made a quick recovery.
In a behind-the-scenes video, the 42-year-old actress expressed her gratitude to Lai for taking care of her.

Beloved Chinese climber killed by falling rocks on K2
A CHINESE climber renowned among her peers for her warmth and friendliness, as well as her handstand antics on a recent expedition, has died, Kwong Wah Yit Poh reported. Guan Jing, 38, from Hunan province was struck by falling rocks while descending K2, the second highest mountain in the world, in the Pakistan-China region on Tuesday. The report stated that Pakistani authorities were searching for the remains of the victim despite facing bad weather. It also said her mountain climbing peers had confirmed the tragedy. Guan, who was a yoga practitioner, had reached the K2 summit along with a group of climbers and sherpas from China, United States, Romania, Nepal and Pakistan the day before her death. In May last year, Guan stunned the world when she made a handstand for 20 seconds at the summit of the world's highest mountain – Mount Everest – after completing her ascent. Reports said historical records since 1953 showed that no one had succeeded doing such antics at the summit. > Sin Chew Daily reported that Malaysian singer Firdhaus Farmizi has been nominated for three songs in the Best Local Chinese Song category of the Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM) 2024 awards.

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.

TV host Lee Teng and wife welcome rainbow baby after 2020 miscarriage
TV host Lee Teng and his wife Gina Lin are now first-time parents to a girl named Ellison. Photo: Gina Lin/Instagram Singaporean TV host Lee Teng and his Taiwanese wife Gina Lin are now first-time parents to a baby girl named Ellison. Announcing the good news on Instagram on Aug 13, he joked about how he should now be called 'Ellis' dad'. The 41-year-old thanked his wife, 32, for her unwavering perseverance in her journey to becoming a mother. Calling their newborn a 'rainbow baby', Lee recounted how the past five years had been anything but easy for the couple after they lost their first child in July 2020. Lin was six months pregnant when she suffered a miscarriage after returning to Taiwan to prepare for the birth of their baby boy, nicknamed Xiao Dou Ya (Little Bean Sprout). Lee was then in Singapore for work and could not leave the country to be with her because of Covid-19 travel restrictions. He managed to reunite with her in August that year, and they subsequently spent three months in Taiwan to heal from the grief together. He apologised to his followers for keeping their second pregnancy a secret. He said: 'My wife and I have faced countless setbacks, and there were moments when I couldn't bear to see her disappointed. At times, I asked if we should give up, simply because I couldn't stand watching her suffer. 'The wait has been long, but the moment I saw the smile on our rainbow baby's face, I knew every second was worth it.' Lee also apologised for turning down work over the past year to be with his wife. Lin shared her heartfelt post on Instagram on Aug 13, writing in Chinese that the past few years had been 'incredibly challenging'. 'Facing physical, mental and emotional strain, and concerns from everyone, I've managed to appear calm and composed. But in reality, I've become incredibly sensitive and insecure,' she admitted. She added that she had been living under a constant barrage of repressed emotions and spent almost the entire pregnancy at home. Addressing her daughter in her post, Lin said: 'Thank you for choosing me to be your mother, thank you for working so hard to grow up, thank you for giving me the courage to face my birthday and thank you for piecing together the broken me bit by bit.' She added: 'From the moment I heard your first cry, it felt so unreal. I wake up every morning and ask myself, 'Is this true?' Thank you for coming safely to us. Your father and I only hope you will be healthy and safe.' – The Straits Times/Asia News Network View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gina Lin (@ginalin)
