HK actor Kenneth Ma praised for response to overly persistent fan in Malaysia
Hong Kong artiste Kenneth Ma has been praised for his gracious response to an overly persistent fan in Malaysia. Photos: Kenneth Ma/Instagram, Sin Chew Daily Hong Kong singer-actor Kenneth Ma is being lauded online for his calm and gracious response to an overly persistent fan during his recent trip to Malaysia. The 51-year-old, who's married to actress Roxanne Tong, was in Genting Highlands for his Star Glories Shine concert, where he took the stage with fellow TVB stars Joel Chan, Katy Kung, Edwin Siu and more. While the concert was a clear success, an unexpected incident offstage has since gone viral. According to Headline Daily , a video circulating online captured Ma at a shopping mall, surrounded by four to five security personnel. In the clip, a female fan wearing a black dress and grey cardigan could be seen repeatedly attempting to push past security in a bid to get a photo with the actor. Despite the guards' attempts to hold her back, she remained undeterred. Seeing her persistence, Ma eventually relented and signalled the guards to let her through, saying: "It's OK. Let her take the photo." The fan, clearly frustrated with security, glared at them before finally leaning in close to Ma for the picture she had been so intent on getting. Many netizens have since left comments criticising the fan's excessive behaviour, while others praised Ma for his patience and classy way of handling the situation. "She really has no manners … scaring the artiste," one netizen said. Another added: "Kenneth's love for fans has no limits. He's such a gentleman." "If it were another celebrity, they would've responded in a more hostile manner, but Kenneth allowed the fan to take a photo," said a third.

(Video) Female Fan Pushed Through Group Of Bodyguards To Take Photo With HK Actor Kenneth Ma
Some fans would do anything to get close to their favourite celebrity. Recently, a female fan pushed through bodyguards to take a photo with Hong Kong actor Kenneth Ma (馬國明), prompting mixed reactions from netizens. Kenneth was recently in Malaysia to perform at the 'Star Glories Shine' concert alongside other TVB stars, including Edwin Siu (蕭正楠), Katy Kung (龔嘉欣) and Joel Chan (陳山聰). The event was held at the Arena of Stars at Resorts World Genting, so naturally, the stars casually walked around the iconic tourist destination. Unfortunately, that also meant crowds of fans following the celebrities wherever they went to try to take photos. One video posted on social media shows Kenneth walking around the resort while escorted by a group of bodyguards. However, a few fans were trying to push through the crowd, likely to take photos with the actor. One female fan was trying to squeeze through two bodyguards, making it difficult for Kenneth to move. While the security personnel were trying to push the fan away, Kenneth kindly allowed the fan to take a photo with him. Not only was the actor not angry at the pushy fan, but he told the bodyguards to allow the fan to take a photo with him. Upon getting the okay from Kenneth, the female fan immediately got close and took her picture. Kenneth also had a smile on his face despite the crowd, showing how considerate he is to fans. The same clip also showed him taking a photo with another fan just after the chaotic scene earlier. Many netizens have since reacted to the video, sharing mixed responses. Many praised the actor for his humble and warm character, noting how he graciously took photos with fans when asked. Some also said his gentlemanly side was what won him many fans. However, others criticised the female fan for trying to push through the crowd for her photo, lamenting that she could've accidentally hurt those around her. While Kenneth was kind enough to stop for fans, we don't encourage pushing through crowds to get closer to your favourite star. We're just glad no one was hurt, and we hope Kenneth wasn't too upset by the chaos.
