Former Miss HK Grace Chan eyes Malaysia for chocolate brand launch, with actor-hubby Kevin Cheng as possible opening guest
KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 — Chocolate lovers, rejoice! Former Miss Hong Kong Grace Chan is keen to bring her own chocolate line to Malaysia. The 34-year-old, who is also an actress and TV host, recently launched her premium chocolate brand, Dulce Vida, in April this year, in collaboration with Miss Marble Bakery's founder Fafa. According to their official website, all of the Dulce Vida chocolate and sweets are made with low sugar content using high-quality ingredients. They also have an array of selections such as pistachio dark chocolate bars, chocolate moon cake set, sea salt caramel pretzel dark chocolate bars as well as passion fruit jasmine chocolate beans. Chan, who was attending the grand opening of the famous Hong Kong rice noodle outlet Tamjai Mixian at Sunway Pyramid, was accompanied by her husband Kevin Cheng, a well-known TVB actor and singer. 'I recently started my own chocolate brand and I'm really hoping to bring it to Malaysia, so you guys can try it too. 'Because I really love desserts and I love sweets and you can get to see a different side of Grace, the businesswoman side,' Chan said. Chan added that she would also love for her husband to be her opening guest if she ever opened a shop here. Chan and her husband were invited as guest artists for the opening of the first Tamjai Mixian's Malaysia outlet. Both were greeted by around 100 local fans who had gathered for the meet-and-greet session. This wasn't the first time the Hong Kong power couple had been invited as guest artists — back in March, they also attended the launch of a health spa at Sunway Pyramid.

HKCSS Fosters Cross-Sector Collaboration and Adoption of Gerontechnology to Formulate Hong Kong Dementia Care Action Plan
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 July 2025 - The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) is actively promoting support services for dementia and is leveraging gerontechnology to provide comprehensive support for patients and their caregivers. Through cross-sector collaboration, continuous innovation and extensive consultation, HKCSS is taking forwards the formulation of the 'Hong Kong Dementia Care Action Plan' (Action Plan) and launches a series of exchange and consultation programmes in the field of social service, health and innovative technologies to encourage society to rethink the direction of dementia service development in response to the challenges posed by an ageing population. The Action Plan is expected to be officially published in 2026. HKCSS rolls out the formulation of the Action Plan in two phases. The formulation of the Action Plan by HKCSS comprises two stages. In the first stage, the focus is on developing a framework and gathering stakeholder opinion through various channels. In July, a 'Dementia and Care Planning Seminar' is held to discuss the current care plan arrangements and limitations for people with dementia, as well as the future development of carer support services. Between September and November in 2025, several events focusing on agenda discussion will take place in conjunction with 'World Alzheimer's Day' in September and the 'Gerontech and Innovation Expo cum Summit' in November. Public consultation will be conducted in the second stage to finalise the Action Plan. According to the World Health Organization, there were 57 million people worldwide living with dementia in 2021. To address the challenges dementia poses to public health and society, countries worldwide are formulating or updating dementia strategies. Ms Grace Chan, Chief Executive of HKCSS, states that 'There are approximately over 100,000 dementia patients in Hong Kong. HKCSS hopes to connect international and local stakeholders through various programmes to share experiences and strengthen cross-regional and cross-sector collaboration in promoting the development of dementia care and social services, effectively supporting patients and their caregivers in an ageing society.' This year, in March, HKCSS organised an international symposium titled 'Charting the Future: A Strategic Action Plan for Dementia Care', facilitating close exchanges and discussions with local and overseas stakeholders on various aspects related to dementia. A number of international and local experts shared insights covering research, prevention, living support, policy and social service practices. Mr Greg Shaw, Former Director of International and Corporate Relations at the International Federation on Ageing (IFA), highlighted the importance of 'people-oriented' integrated care model through technology, to develop a dementia-inclusive society in the long run. Promoting the idea that 'prevention is better than cure' is equally important. Research from the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery found a positive relationship between maintaining hearing and preventing dementia, advising the elderly to wear appropriate hearing aids to timely improve and slow cognitive decline. Additionally, local organisations, in collaboration with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, are implementing the 'Caring Communities for Dementia Campaign', using IoT technology to quickly locate missing persons. This initiative allows individuals with dementia to participate actively and safely in the community, alleviating caregivers' concerns about the risk of wandering. Another focus of the symposium was the discussion of the Action Plan. Ms Katie Wong, Chief Officer (Elderly Service) of HKCSS, and Ms Karrie Chan, Deputy Director (Elderly, Rehabilitation & Community) of Hong Kong Christian Service, along with the members of Specialized Committee on Elderly Service, shared the current status of dementia development in Hong Kong. They proposed that prevention, early diagnosis, and early intervention are key strategies for the future development of dementia services, and engaged with participants from social services, academia and institutions to discuss local conditions and suggested directions. Several technology companies demonstrated gerontechnology solutions applicable to dementia care on-site. In addition, during the 'S+ Summit cum Expo' in May, a thematic discussion on 'Co-Creating Dementia-Friendly Communities: A Journey of Inclusion and Collaboration' explored multi-faceted cooperation through social service, business, and urban planning to enhance facilities and services for the elderly in preventing dementia and making life more convenient for dementia patients and their caregivers. HKCSS aims to harness the social power through cross-sector collaboration and innovation to promote the formulation of dementia care strategies, jointly building a dementia-friendly environment and sustainable community.

Battles and betrayals star in the best Sci-Fi and Fantasy books out now: The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson, The Devils by Joe Abercrombie, Every Version of You by Grace Chan
The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson (Hodderscape £22, 656pp) There's an island, a palace, a soon-to-be-vacated throne and a competition where the great houses put up a champion to succeed the emperor. Naturally, we find intrigue, treachery and fighting, but best of all, right in the thick of things, is the unlikely, spikey figure of Neema Kraa, junior archivist. And if being made the Raven's champion is not enough, she also has to solve a murder. The Raven Scholar is that rare book that stays with you whether you're reading it or not. More than gripping, it's deeply involving as wheels turn, secrets are revealed and fierce, beautiful, brilliant Neema battles through to the end. The Devils by Joe Abercrombie (Gollancz £25, 576pp) It's The Wild Bunch on steroids as a gang of blasphemous monsters escort a guttersnipe princess across a continent for her enthronement – while everyone else tries to kill them on the way. Meet an appallingly pompous magician, an existential vampire who seduces with descriptions of dumplings, a useless priest and, outstandingly, a monstrously gorgeous, tattooed, Viking lady werewolf whose tremendous lusts are almost as strong as her love of meat. No one does journeys like Abercrombie. It's the perfect medium for his deliciously unfair plot twists and violent – very violent – reversals of fortune. See his characters stripped bare, desperate and lovable: the real trademark that sets this bestselling author apart. Every Version of You by Grace Chan (Verve Books £10.99, 320pp) Every Version of You is available now from the Mail Bookshop Draw two timelines: the relentless degradation of the planet along one; a seamless interface with utopian digital space along the other. This disturbing, unflinching and emotionally-charged story explores the point of convergence. Tao-Yi loves Navin but he is ill – Navin's never fully recovered from an operation she recommended. They find themselves spending increasing time in their dreamy online world while Tao-Yi's ageing mother sticks stubbornly to her offline ways. So when Navin wants Tao-Yi to ditch her body to join him forever in cyberspace, she's left with massive questions. Is digital heaven desirable? And in the face of limitless potential, might it be our limitations that make us human?
