The photo dump captured key moments from their getaway – including a Deadpool-themed party hosted by Chan and his wife Apple Ho to celebrate their son Jaco's fifth birthday.
'A trip to KL for the big boss's fifth birthday. Daddy and mummy hope you continue to grow up healthy and happy. Embrace a beautiful life, study hard and become a strong young man,' the TVB star captioned his post.

Many netizens have since left comments welcoming the family of three to Malaysia, while others sent their birthday wishes to Jaco.
'Did Jaco try durian during his time here?' one fan quipped.
'I can't believe you travelled to KL to celebrate Jaco's birthday. Happy birthday to Big Brother,' another commented.
For the record, Chan had previously expressed interest in owning a property in Penang. At the time, he praised the island for its sunny beaches, diverse cuisine and the warmth of its people.
Chan married Ho, who's from outside the entertainment industry, in November 2019. The couple welcomed their son Jaco on July 1, 2020.

'Nandini Mana?!' explores global culture with a Malaysian lens
Media platform SAYS has launched Nandini Mana?!, a travel and culture video series exploring the intersections of culture, history and identity through a distinctly Malaysian lens. Hosted by SAYS video lead Nandini Balakrishnan, the series traces cultural links across Asia and Europe, uncovering shared heritage, culinary ties and connections between Malaysia and communities abroad. Spanning three continents over two months, the journey is limited to just two flights and a daily budget of RM170, with travel by land, rail and sea. At each stop, Nandini takes on three challenges: eat only local food, learn five local phrases and collect a matchbox. The trailer has drawn over 262,000 views and nearly 500 comments on Instagram, showing an interest among viewers for authentic and meaningful storytelling. "I wanted to explore places that feel far from Malaysia but are actually deeply linked to us, through food, migration, language or shared history. Connections and threads exist everywhere, and I want to show it in a way that feels honest, raw and very Malaysian. Jom lawatan sambil belajar with me!" Nandini shared. FIRST STOP: SRI LANKA The first episode features Nandini visiting a Sri Lankan Malay-owned restaurant, where she speaks with the owner and samples her food. Debuting with over 211,000 views, the episode received a strong response and set the tone for the rest of the series. From Sri Lanka, Nandini will travel by ferry to India, exploring Tamil Nadu's cultural landscape through Trichy, Madurai, Pondicherry and Chennai. She will then head west to Istanbul, continuing overland through Greece, North Macedonia, Albania, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and finally England.

#SHOWBIZ: Alyssa Milano's plea to 'Charmed' fans: Stop using AI to mourn Julian McMahon
LOS ANGELES: Actress Alyssa Milano has asked fans of her hit TV show Charmed to be more mindful of how they grieve her recently deceased co-star Julian McMahon. In an Instagram story, the actress wrote: "Charmed fans/accounts! I love and appreciate you so much, but please stop using Al to fabricate emotion from Julian McMahon's death. It is totally unnecessary when there are real moments you can use from his nearly 35 years in the public eye. And please be considerate to Julian's grieving family and friends during this difficult time." Since the beloved actor's death, some fans have created fake videos with McMahon's likeness. McMahon passed away after a private cancer battle on July 4 at 56 and had a long, successful career in TV, but recently was seen in 2024's The Surfer with Nicolas Cage. Following his death, Milano paid a moving tribute to him on Instagram, and described him as "more than her TV husband" and a "dearest friend".

Actor Lee Soo Hyuk To Make An Appearance In Malaysia? Samsung Teases Special Guest
We do love a good teaser. If you're a Samsung fan, you may have already heard the news: the brand is set to release a range of new products later this year, including the Galaxy Watch series, Galaxy Z Fold7, and the Galaxy Z Flip7. These latest gadgets are now available for pre-order on the official website. In addition to unveiling its exciting new line-up, Samsung Malaysia also dropped a hint that a certain Korean star may be visiting soon. Could it be a K-pop idol? An actor? Let's find out: Yesterday (Wednesday, 9th July), Samsung Malaysia shared a photo on its social media pages, featuring the silhouette of a male Korean celebrity. 'The arrival of an Ultra foldable demands an Ultra special guest. Any guesses? 👀 Leave them in the comments!' the company wrote in the caption. Unsurprisingly, the teaser had fans buzzing with excitement and speculating about the identity of the mystery star. While there were a few interesting guesses in the comments, the majority, including G-Dragon, had one name in mind: actor and model Lee Soo Hyuk (이수혁). The speculation arose after fans recognised the silhouette, as the 37-year-old had posted a photo striking the same pose on his Instagram earlier this month. If that wasn't already obvious, the 'Vampire Idol' star even commented on Samsung Malaysia's post, cheekily asking, 'Who is it?'. He even reposted the teaser image on his Instagram. While nothing has been officially announced yet, it's clear from the teaser and the celebrity's cheeky reply that Lee Soo Hyuk is set to make a special appearance in Malaysia for an upcoming Samsung event. If everyone (highly unlikely) guessed wrong, then there's no telling what the reaction will be like. Are you excited for the 'mystery oppa' to be revealed soon? Source: Instagram
