Now that's a push present: Aaron Kwok celebrates baby boy news with no-limit credit card for wife Moka Fang
The 59-year-old Cantopop legend reportedly upgraded wife Moka Fang's supplementary credit card to a no-limit one after learning that baby number three is on the way — and it might be a boy.
According to East Week, the Hong Kong superstar has been overjoyed since finding out the baby's gender and didn't hesitate to share the good news with his mahjong buddies.
And if the reports are true, Kwok will be the first among the Four Heavenly Kings to have a son — Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau and Leon Lai are all dads to daughters.
Kwok already has two girls, Chantalle and Charlotte, aged seven and five.
But he's made no secret of wanting a son — not least to pass on his impressive collection of sports cars, watches, and what we assume is an enviable wardrobe of leather jackets.
Still, some fans couldn't help but side-eye the logic.
'Wait, can't girls inherit those too?' one netizen quipped online.
Another joked: 'If my husband gave me a no-limit card only because I'm having a boy, we'd be having a different conversation.'
Credit card politics aside, Kwok seems committed to being a hands-on dad.
He's scheduled to perform in Macau across three weekends this month, but reportedly plans to return home to Hong Kong after each show to be with Fang.
Whether baby number three ends up a car-collecting mini-me or not, one thing's clear: Fang's shopping game just hit another level.

Artistes confront harsh reality of cyberbullying, cancel culture
Uyaina Arshad, former host of programmes such as 'Nona' and 'Wanita Hari Ini', recently spoke out against cyberbullying on social media. (Uyaina Arshad Facebook pic) KUALA LUMPUR : The online bullying of local artistes, especially women, has become an increasingly worrisome issue as open insults, repeated mockery and cancel culture continue to spread in the entertainment world. Among those who have been the targets of cyberattacks is actress and TV host Saidatul Naseha Uyaina Arshad, better known as Uyaina Arshad. The 33-year-old recently took to social media to share her experience and to remind the community that cyberbullying is no small matter. 'If I don't defend myself, who else will?' she told Bernama. Uyaina, who receives strong support from her family and friends, acknowledged that others may not be as fortunate as she is. 'Some are really hurt, some are depressed, some feel alone,' said the former host of 'Nona', 'Wanita Hari Ini' and 'MeleTOP'. 'I knew going in that these negativities, such as insults and false accusations, are part and parcel of being in the entertainment industry,' she said. 'Some people won't like you just because they don't like you.' Among the most hurtful messages she has received were those targeting her family. 'Some people questioned how my mother raised me. Some people told stories about me when I was in school, even though they never knew me.' Still, she is thankful for the messages of support from others in her industry. 'Many have messaged me privately, showing me the bullying messages they too received. But some of them don't dare to speak up,' she added. 'I wish to urge my friends who are in the same boat to defend themselves.' Local celebrities who have reportedly been victims of cyberbullying include Mawar Rashid, Wani Kayrie, Ara Johari, Aina Abdul and Janna Nick. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission is reported to have taken down over 8,700 cyberbullying-related content over the past year – a significant increase from the 1,763 items removed the year prior. Cyberbullying can lead to both short- and long-term psychological effects, experts caution. (Envato Elements pic) Meanwhile, academic Nur Haniz Mohd Nor said the act of shaming celebrities publicly can majorly affect the mental wellbeing of the artistes involved. According to the director of a doctorate programme in communication and media studies, the psychological effects experienced by victims can occur in the short and long term. 'They might initially ignore the bullying, but if it persists, it will have an impact on the artistes' mental health and work performance. This isn't fair, because they are also people who are trying to live their lives as best as possible,' she said. Nur Haniz also touched on other aspects that contribute to the toxicity of social media. ''Fan culture' can cause other fans to attack non-fans or anyone who disagrees with their views, while 'cancel culture' is the act of openly criticising and boycotting someone when they are considered to have committed a social or moral offence. 'Group attacks or 'dogpiling' also occur when celebrities are simultaneously bombarded with negative comments, threats, and excessive use of memes,' she explained. Another expert, Kamal Affandi Hashim, believes that the perception of celebrities being 'public property' is a primary reason why this group is targeted. 'Some people feel they have the right to criticise, insult and denounce celebrities openly,' Kamal, a crime analyst, said. 'Freedom of speech should not be misinterpreted as a licence to insult, defame or attack the personal lives of others, including celebrities.'

70-year-old photographer captures Malaysia's rock history
Mustaffa, who is popularly known as Tapa Otai among local musicians, has released a photobook, 'Stage 0.1 – Concert Photography'. (Bernama pic) KUALA LUMPUR : Seventy-year-old Mustaffa Ahmad Hidzir was driven to become a freelance concert photographer more than two decades ago by his love for music and photography. Known as Tapa Otai among local musicians, the former graphic designer works independently and has taken photos at hundreds of concerts, mostly rock performances, without the backing of media companies or official access. 'Taking pictures has always been my hobby, but I'm not an official photographer and I don't have a media pass. So, if I want to attend a concert, I have to find my own way in. 'Sometimes I ask friends, promoters or crew members for help … what's important is building contacts from there,' he told Bernama. His transition to photography began in the early 2000s after he was diagnosed with high blood pressure and advised by doctors to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Mustaffa began walking around Kuala Lumpur for the exercise, armed with a digital camera. 'On the first day, I took the LRT from Petaling Jaya, got off at Kampung Baru and walked all the way to Bukit Bintang taking photos. That's when I began to feel the excitement. 'Later on, a friend invited me to a concert. I've always loved music, so I began taking pictures,' he said – and the rest is history. 'Not just entertainment' Mustaffa revealed that his love for music began during his school days, when his uncle introduced him to records by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. But it was while watching the documentaries 'Woodstock' (1969) and 'The Concert for Bangladesh' (1971) that he began to appreciate the important role photographers play in capturing stage moments. 'Then, when Santana came to Malaysia to perform for the first time in July 1973, I hitched a ride alone from Taiping to KL just to watch the concert. That made me realise there were people who make a living photographing concerts – that for them, it wasn't just entertainment but an art form.' The 240-page book features close to 300 black-and-white photos of local rock concerts. (Bernama pic) His past work experience with record labels gave him an advantage in understanding the flow of live performances. 'Even if your camera is glued to your eye, you may not necessarily capture the right moments. You have to understand the tempo of the music, know when the guitar solo is coming, when the stage lights are going to change. 'If you're not immersed in the music, the photos will feel empty and soulless,' he said. After over 20 years of photographing concerts, Mustaffa has compiled a portion of his work into a book titled 'Stage 0.1 – Concert Photography', published in collaboration with the National Art Gallery. The 240-page publication, which features close to 300 black-and-white photos of local rock concerts, was conceptualised by film director U-Wei Haji Saari. 'I dedicate this book to musicians who rarely get the spotlight, like guitarists, drummers and keyboardists. Each photo comes with full details such as names of the musicians, concert dates and venues. 'Some of the concert locations have been demolished and rebuilt, so this book can serve as a reference. In fact, some of the musicians have passed away, and I included their photos as a tribute to them,' Mustaffa said. He is now planning to publish 'Stage 0.2', which is expected to focus on alternative or traditional music. Follow Mustaffa on Facebook. Get your copy of 'Stage 0.1 – Concert Photography' at the National Art Gallery bookshop or on Shopee.
