#SHOWBIZ: Nina Kho: I felt strange being treated like a 'queen' on Chinese film set
KUALA LUMPUR: Sarawak-born actress Nina Kho Siew Ching, 33, may be based in China, but Malaysia is never far from her mind, especially when it comes to food and work culture. In a news report yesterday, the star of the upcoming film Honey Trap said that even though she was treated like a "queen" on Chinese film sets and was served eight-course meals, it could never beat Malaysian cuisine. She also found it strange that she wasn't allowed to mix with the production crew or even share her food with them, as she was confined to her special room. "I was recently on the set of a film called Reborn, and each of the main stars had an eight-course meal in his or her own room," she said. "While the food is good in China, it can never beat Malaysian food; what's from home is always the best. And better still, there are no boundaries between actors and production crew members, unlike what happened on the set of Reborn." Nina said that she was honoured to star in her first Malay language film, Honey Trap, and admitted that she had to work hard to brush up on her command of the national language. "I'm very thankful to the production team for helping me improve my Bahasa Malaysia." Nina began her acting career in China in 2015, before appearing in Malaysian dramas in 2022.

HK Star Edison Chen Has Confrontation With Flight Attendant Over Alleged Unfair Treatment
Hong Kong star Edison Chen (陈冠希) is notorious for his bad temper but has mellowed out since becoming a father. However, the star recently got into a heated argument with a flight attendant. A XiaoHongShu user recently shared an incident involving a Chinese passenger on a flight from Japan to New York on 1st June 2025. According to the user, after the plane arrived at the airport, the cabin crew prepared to disembark a Japanese VIP off the plane first. But the Chinese passenger was dissatisfied with the different treatment and began arguing with the flight attendant. The flight attendant tried to explain the situation, saying the VIP was a Diamond Card holder and had priority to disembark first. However, the Chinese passenger retaliated, saying, 'You said he's a VIP, right? Please look at my boarding pass, I am a Diamond Card member. Tell me, what is the difference between him and me?!'. At one point during the argument, the Chinese passenger even yelled out, 'I'm going to file a complaint, and I'll make you lose your job!'. While the XiaoHongShu post never disclosed the identity of the Chinese passenger, netizens suspect him to be Edison Chen based on the voice recording provided. The public figure also posted about a flight on the day of the incident, solidifying the suspicions. After the issue went viral, Edison Chen's agency posted a statement confirming the allegations. However, the agency also shared the actor's side of the story to provide clarity. According to the agency, after the plane landed, passengers at the back of the flight were in a hurry to disembark. Edison Chen, trying to get to his luggage, had calmly asked if he would take his luggage from the overhead compartment. However, the flight attendant said that a Diamond Card member passenger needed to disembark first, which was when the viral 'fight' started. The agency explained that since Edison Chen is also a diamond card member, he was puzzled by the flight attendant's explanation, leading to the misunderstanding. However, the agency said the star is continuously communicating with the airline over the matter and asked the public to avoid spreading misinformation. Meanwhile, Edison has yet to address the issue. Unfortunately, flights can bring out the worst in you. Of course, we don't condone his alleged actions, but perhaps Edison Chen was voicing his frustration with the situation. What are your thoughts on this?
