HK lyricist Peter Lai, 75, wants a soulmate, says son treats him like a stranger
Hong Kong lyricist Peter Lai is on the lookout for a soulmate, with marriage in mind. Photo: China Press Hong Kong lyricist and actor Peter Lai recently opened up about his personal life, including his relationship with his son from a previous marriage that ended in 1992. In an interview with HK01, Lai, 75, described his son as someone who 'mooches off the elderly'. He revealed that he had spent over HK$100,000 (RM53,716) to fund the younger man's four-year Traditional Chinese Medicine studies in Nanjing – only for the latter to fail to graduate. 'He was just messing around. I'd bet 99% that's what happened, so he didn't graduate. It was a waste of time and money… But whatever, that's all in the past now,' he said. Despite the disappointment, Lai continued to help his son pay off his credit card debts over the past two years. He cleared the full amount last month. Lai then expressed frustration over his now 37-year-old son's lifestyle, saying the latter spends his days playing video games and rarely speaks to him. 'He doesn't even bother talking to me. We might as well be strangers,' he lamented. Given the circumstances, it's no surprise that Lai would feel lonely at times. He shared that he's now looking for a 'soulmate' and is openly putting himself out there, with marriage in mind. 'If Lee Lung Kei can do it, why can't I?' he said. For context, Lee, 73, is a former TVB actor who made headlines in recent years for his relationship with his 37-year-old fiancee Chris Wong. When asked if he's concerned about his son's future after he's gone, Lai bluntly said his son can fend for himself. 'If I'm gone, he can sleep under a bridge. He's not going to die. He can just apply for public housing or something.' Lai is regarded as part of the pioneer generation of Cantopop lyricists in Hong Kong. He has written songs for some of the city's biggest stars – including Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam and more.

'Adoption' of scammer ends in RM1.6mil loss for Penang retiree
GEORGE TOWN: A private sector retiree here has lost RM1.6mil in an online investment scam to a suspect he adopted as his "younger brother". Penang police chief Comm Datuk Hamzah Ahmad said the Central Seberang Prai Commercial Crime Investigation Department received a complaint from a 57-year-old man about the scam on Sunday (June 22). "In March, the victim came into contact on WhatsApp with an individual who claimed to be from Hong Kong. "After three weeks of getting to know each other, the victim took the suspect as his adopted younger brother," he said in a statement on Monday (June 23) The suspect then invited the victim to join an online investment platform called FXCM, which promised a 10% return in a short period. After expressing his interest, the victim was told to download an application, register as a member, and invest. Comm Hamzah said the victim made an initial investment of US$2,000 (RM8,716) on March 18 and received a return of RM10,023. He said believing that the investment was legitimate and profitable, the victim proceeded to make 36 money transfers into 20 different bank accounts until June 14, totalling RM1,680,464. He said the victim only realised it was a scam when he tried to withdraw his profits through the app but failed. Comm Hamzah said the victim was also asked to make additional payments to process the withdrawal. "Feeling deceived, the victim then lodged a police report," he said. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.

'Adopted brother' cons woman out of RM1.68mil in scam
BUKIT MERTAJAM: A 57-year-old woman lost more than RM1.68 million in an online investment scam involving a bogus platform. The victim, a retiree from a private firm in Penang, was first contacted via WhatsApp in late March by a man claiming to be from Hong Kong. After three weeks of communication, she began referring to the suspect as her "adopted brother". Penang police chief Datuk Hamzah Ahmad said the suspect later persuaded the victim to invest in an online scheme via a mobile app. "The victim was promised returns of up to 10 per cent within a short period," he said in a statement today. Hamzah said the woman made her first investment of USD2,000 (RM8,716) on March 18 and received a return of RM10,023, which convinced her of the platform's legitimacy. "Believing the scheme to be genuine and profitable, she went on to make 36 transactions between March 14 and June 14, depositing funds into 20 different bank accounts belonging to various companies. "In total, she lost RM1,680,464," he said. The scam came to light when the victim attempted to withdraw her returns but was unsuccessful. She was then asked to make additional payments to release the funds, prompting her to suspect foul play. The woman subsequently lodged a report with the Commercial Crime Investigation Department at the Seberang Prai Tengah district police headquarters yesterday. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. This incident follows a similar case reported yesterday in which two men, including a senior citizen, lost a combined total of RM2.35 million in separate online investment scams.
