The Hong Kong, China pair were defeated 16-21, 5-21 by Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Supissara Paewsampran from Thailand. Seeded second in the tournament, Tang and Tse were outplayed by the younger, more lively Thai pair, who came in as the sixth seed in the competition. Despite defeat, it was the second final Tang and Tse made in four appearances, since Tse returned to the court following a surgery. They had won their maiden Asian title in Ningbo in April, in what was their first tournament back together. The star pair will be back in action on Tuesday, when they play in the Indonesia Open alongside fellow SAR shuttlers Angus Ng and Lee Cheuk-yiu in men's singles, as well as the women's doubles pair of Lianne Yeung and Yeung Pui-lam.

'Recycling surged even after waste scheme was shelved'
'Recycling surged even after waste scheme was shelved' Tse Chin-wan said there's been unprecedented changes in behaviour towards recycling, despite the shelving of the waste charging scheme last year. Photo: RTHK Environment chief Tse Chin-wan on Wednesday said the public have become more aware of the importance of recycling since the shelving of a planned "pay-as-you-throw" system last year. On RTHK's Overview Policy programme, the minister said while many people agreed the policy should not be introduced at that time, the "controversy and discussions" did lead to big changes in behaviour. "We see that our recyclables in our community recycling network doubled within a short period of time, and the food waste collected even jumped eight-fold," he said. "We also see that this trend is still continuing." Tse added that the amount of waste dumped in landfills has dropped 7.5 percent since John Lee became chief executive. The secretary also said there has been rapid growth in the number of electric vehicles in Hong Kong, with the current 110,000 cars almost eight times the amount five years ago. He said around four in five new cars purchased in Hong Kong are now electric.

For the first time, Jennifer, Nicholas Tse's sister, openly endorses his relationship with girlfriend Faye Wong, 11 years his senior
HONG KONG: According to VnExpress, for the first time, Jennifer Tse, the younger sister of Hong Kong actor-singer Nicholas Tse, has publicly supported his long-term relationship with Queen of Cantopop, Faye Wong, who is 11 years older than him. Jennifer put up a video on Weibo on Apr 26. It was of Wong at one of Nicholas's concerts, and Jennifer captioned it 'The sweetest' with a heart emoji, Sinchew reported. Hong Kong news outlets saw that post as Jennifer saying she approves of Nicholas and Wong being together. People online on Weibo said it looks like Nicholas's family has really welcomed Wong, as if she's 'one of them' now. Almost 30 years after Wong's relationship with Nicholas came to light, this is the first time a Tse family member has officially approved of her. Some people online were really happy to see the family acknowledging Wong. They even compared it to how they felt Nicholas's family treated his ex-wife, actress Cecilia Cheung, saying it seemed like they weren't as warm towards her. Others online talked about how Nicholas and Wong have been together, broken up, and gotten back together over the past 25 years, calling it a real 'true love story.' Their relationship is something people are interested in—it has even been trending big-time on Chinese social media for days.

How a Hong Kong digital nomad artist expanded her colour palette through travel
For Hong Kong-born artist Sarah Tse Man-heng, the ultimate studio has no walls. Instead it has beaches, vast savannahs and forest floors blanketed in flowers and fungi. An elephant might swing by, maybe even a monkey. Advertisement Tse, 39, is a digital nomad artist who combines a love for travel with art, creating works inspired by the diverse cultures and landscapes she encounters. A scroll through Tse's Instagram account reveals stunning paintings created in equally stunning locations. In one photo, taken this year near Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, Tse is deep in her work while a seven-tonne elephant casually strolls behind her. The photo was taken at a reserve run by Elephant Crew, a charity that rescues elephants from the cruel commercial wildlife tourism industry that have bonded with humans and would not survive in the wild, as well as calves orphaned by ivory poaching. Tse paints elephants in Zimbabwe in March. Photo: Sarah Tse Another photo from 2023 shows Tse painting 'somewhere in a forest' about 45km (28 miles) from the city of Tampere in southern Finland. She is working on The Magic Mushrooms, which she created during her one-month residency in the country. Advertisement 'The painting captures the mysterious and tranquil ambience of the Finnish wonderland,' says Tse over coffee at a restaurant in Hong Kong's Victoria Park.

New venue in Hong Kong should iron out its kinks
Kai Tak Stadium has won deserved acclaim for its debuts as Hong Kong's new prime venue for major sporting and entertainment events. Credit must be given for intensive preparations such as trial runs to identify problems that can arise around mega-events involving huge crowds. Advertisement The Hong Kong Rugby Sevens and concerts by British group Coldplay and Cantopop star Nicholas Tse Ting-fung stress-tested the city's latest showpiece. It passed with flying colours, showcasing its ability to handle large-scale events seamlessly. Moreover, it hosted a K-pop concert in the 10,000-seater Kai Tak Arena alongside one of Tse's concerts. Ultimately, however, customer experience also determines whether it lives up to high expectations. In that respect it is good that complaints about blocked views are being addressed. More than 230 complaints filed with the city's consumer watchdog after Coldplay's four shows at the 50,000-capacity stadium were followed by more after Tse's concerts. Advertisement According to the Consumer Council, in one case involving HK$6,000 the complainant said that when buying four tickets, the system did not indicate that they were for seats with obstructed views, which only became apparent on receipt of printed tickets.
