#SHOWBIZ: Harrowing encounters of courageous baby-rescuers
DIRECTOR Chong Keat Aun's latest movie was the opening film at the 49th Hong Kong International Film Festival and recently had its North American premiere at the New York Asian Film Festival on July 12. The Golden Horse-winning director's third feature film is a deeply human drama inspired by the less-known existence of the 24-hour baby hatches around the country. It also zooms in on creeping societal conservatism that is withering away Malaysian women's voices with archaic interpretations of customs that govern their reproductive rights. Set around a baby hatch centre somewhere in the Klang Valley, it follows the journeys of two women who cross paths as a result of a baby hatch and face the longstanding social stigmas which challenge the right of single mothers to use them. The film begins with a nostalgic lullaby whose lyrics reflect traditional beliefs: "If you raise a son, he takes care of you when he grows up. If you raise a daughter, she belongs to others when she grows up." In the heart of Malaysia, the baby hatch is more than just the practice of a mother abandoning their newborn in a cradle at the designated centre — it is denounced by traditionalists who see it as a moral decline. Despite facing social media vitriol almost daily, Lai Sum (Fish Liew), Fatimah (Tan Mei Ling), Kam (Pearlly Chua), and Nurul (Jasmine Suraya Chin) — dedicated staff at their Klang Valley baby hatch — stand firm in doing what's right for mothers and babies. It is the end of Ramadan and as the only non-Muslim social worker at the hatch, Lai Sum works a few extra shifts to give her colleagues Kam, Fatimah and Nurul some time off. One day, Lai Sum encounters Lam Siew Man (Natalie Hsu), a mass communications university student, who is pregnant after being sexually assaulted by fake shamans. Torn between her unwanted pregnancy and her emotions, Siew Man wrestles with her trauma and is seeking an abortion but does not have the heart to do so. Lai Sum vows to help the teenager find a safe home for her coming baby and bring the perpetrator to justice. The film addresses several sensitive Malaysian social issues, among them gender issues, economic disparity and ideological discourse. Blending Cantonese, Malay, and English in an innovative style, this film explores the tapestry of Malaysian traditions and cultural beliefs. While most scenes occur at Lai Sum's workplace, the most emotional and climactic one does not. Instead, it takes place at a suburban cinema. As the friendship between Lai Sum and Siew Man deepens, the two go to watch a movie in a theatre, and somebody covers the projector with his hand. This casts a huge shadow of the hand across the screen, triggering assault memories within Siew Man, who begins hyperventilating and runs out of the cinema crying. On their way back, our heroines come across an ancient ceremony celebrating a baby's 30th day. In a brief but interesting talk with the baby's aunt (Mia Sabrina Mahadir), she explains that within the Minangkabau culture, women hold inheritance rights — a matrilineal tradition. She shares that her sister is fortunate to have given birth to a daughter, while she, by contrast, gave birth to a son. What follows is a mesmerising dance sequence where performers wave and later smash fragile plates. Eventually, Lai Sum's past is revealed, and the fake shaman practitioners are caught red-handed in a carefully orchestrated plan involving the social workers and the police. In this powerful two-woman play, Fish Liew and Natalie Hsu embody Lai Sum and Siew Man with subtle yet intense passion. Through their interactions filled with emotion, the friendship between the older woman and the student, both of whom are victims of sexual crimes, is executed beautifully. And it is a pleasant trip down memory lane to hear several Chinese lullabys which many of us might have heard from our elders when we were babies back then. Hong Kong-based Malaysian star Liew was spot on when she recently admitted that it was harrowing playing Lai Sum. This is because the protagonist had to deal with hundreds of sad and tragic stories of mothers who were forced to give their babies away, through no fault of their own. Siew Man has had a tough time, too. However, she is actually quite strong and rising star Hsu did not want to portray her as a victim but a complete person with joys, fears and hopes. 'Pavane For An Infant' is an emotional, yet hard-hitting movie that focuses on a topic that is fast being addressed all over the world, of mothers abandoning their newborns willingly or unwillingly. And just as important, it shows how patriarchal attitudes (male chauvinism) and the "blame the woman" mentality still prevails, even in developed countries. Director Chong hopes that his movie will encourage Malaysians to take a stand against sexual violence. At the recent launch of the movie, he rightfully hoped that his film will serve as a voice against it and empower both survivors of abuse and the women who save abandoned infants. PAVANE FOR AN INFANT STARRING Fish Liew, Natalie Hsu, Pearlly Chua, Tan Mei Ling, Ben Yuen, Yuan Teng, Jasmine Suraya Chin, Dishaaleny Jack, Mia Sabrina Mahadir.

According to Taiwan media reports, the 63-year-old is dating a woman named Jane, who's 26 years his junior. On Tuesday (Aug 19), Jane took to Weibo to share a video of the couple heading to Hong Kong singer-actor Nicholas Tse's concert together. 'Going on a date and meeting the person who used to live in our earphones back then,' the 37-year-old wrote in the caption. In a recent livestream, Jane, who works in financial investment, revealed that she first met Ma at a friend's party. 'No one actively pursued the other. We just got together naturally,' she said, adding that she has long been a fan of the actor and his works. When netizens teased her about their age gap, Jane remained calm and graciously responded: 'Steve and my dad are the same age. It's normal. I don't care at all.' She shared that her parents are very open-minded and had no objections to their May-December romance. As for marriage, Jane said they're in no rush to walk down the aisle and will simply let nature take its course. Ma and Jane sparked romance rumours in 2023 after the latter shared on Weibo a photo of herself hugging the actor while holding a bouquet of roses. In her post, she accused Ma's two ex-wives, actresses Tang Yun and Wu Jiani, of not appreciating him. Ma was married to Tang Yun from 1990 to 1993, and they have a daughter. He has two sons from his previous marriage to Wu, which lasted from 2007 to 2017.

Taiwanese actors Ann Hsu and Roy Chiu welcome their first child, a boy
Actress Ann Hsu, who is married to actor Roy Chiu, posted a photo of a tiny foot nestled in the hands of two adults on Instagram on Aug 14. Photos: Ann Hsu/Instagram Taiwanese actress Ann Hsu and actor Roy Chiu have welcomed their first child after almost four years of marriage. Hsu, who turned 41 on Aug 7, announced the news on Instagram on Aug 14. Posting a photo of a tiny foot nestled in the hands of two adults, she wrote in Chinese: 'We are doing fine.' She did not give details on the baby's gender and date of birth, but Taiwanese media reported the child is a boy and was likely born in July. China Times said in an exclusive report on Aug 14 that some of the celebrity couple's friends in the entertainment industry have received full-month gift boxes and were surprised to learn that Hsu had given birth. The words 'Ian Baby 2025. Summer' were printed in the cards included in the gift boxes sent by Hsu and Chiu, 43. Also included was this message: 'Roy & Ann's baby Ian was born healthy and safe into this world. He already has his own ideas at such a young age. He loves to laugh, is a foodie, enjoys eating and bathing with his dad as well as listening to his mum's stories before going to sleep.' Hsu and Chiu announced their marriage in December 2021 after playing lovers in Taiwanese romantic movie Man In Love (2021). Their nuptials came as a surprise as the pair had shied away from confirming their relationship until then. They have rarely shared photos of themselves together on social media after getting hitched. News of Hsu's pregnancy was first reported by Mirror Daily i n May. The Taiwanese news outlet quoted a source close to the low-profile couple that Hsu was four months pregnant then. Hsu had cut down on her public appearances earlier in 2025 and turned down job offers after starring in Imperfect Us (2024). The critically acclaimed series won her Best Leading Actress in a Miniseries or Television Film at Taiwan's Golden Bell Awards. The baby's arrival is a double blessing for Chiu, who is starring in Taiwanese actress Shu Qi's directorial feature film debut, Girl . The coming-of-age drama will hold its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September, where it has been shortlisted for the prestigious Golden Lion award.
