(Photos) HK Actress Louise Lee Dons Kebaya & Meets Actor Liu Wai Hung During Recent Malaysia Trip
Malaysia continues to welcome many Hong Kong stars. One of the stars who recently made her way to Malaysia was veteran actress Louise Lee (李司棋), who had a packed itinerary during her stay. In the past few days, the TVB star has been posting about her stay in Malaysia. In her first post, dated 16th July 2025 (Wednesday), the actress posed with the King of Fruits, durian. Louise revealed in her captions that she visited a durian farm where she indulged in different varieties of the fruit, including the famed Musang King. Seeing that this was her first post about her trip, many local fans extended warm welcomes to the star. Besides indulging in durian, Louise Lee also made time to meet some old friends, including former co-star Liu Wai Hung (廖伟雄). The Hong Kong actor is now based in Malaysia and recently opened a Cantonese restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. In her Instagram post, Louise said she visited the restaurant and got to catch up with Liu Wai Hung, whom she last met 30 years ago while filming the TVB sitcom, 'Three In A Family'. In her most recent post from 23rd July 2025 (Wednesday), Louise showed off her hotel room from her stay, believed to be in Melaka. As each room comes with a private pool, the 74-year-old said she can easily go for a dip whenever she pleases. In the same post, the actress also shared photos of her donning a blue baju kebaya. Louise also revealed that she did a small busking session during her trip, singing for some lucky passersby. Through her Instagram Stories, Louise also shared a compilation of selfies she took during her trip. Many Malaysians have since reacted to the posts, extending gratitude towards the actress for visiting Malaysia. Some also hoped she enjoyed her stay, requesting that she share more photos and videos from her trip. Additionally, in her post with Liu Siu Hung, some fans expressed happiness and nostalgia at the reunion. It's unclear whether Louise is still in Malaysia or if she's returned to Hong Kong. Nevertheless, we hope that Louise enjoyed her Malaysian holiday and that she has plans to return soon. Sources: Instagram (1)(2)(3)

Boy survives 18-storey fall thanks to tree
Compiled by TAN SIN CHOW, DIVYA THERESA RAVI and R. ARAVINTHAN A THREE-YEAR-OLD boy miraculously survived after falling from the 18th floor of a building in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, China. Sin Chew Daily reported that even the boy's father, known only as Zhu, could not believe it until he saw surveillance footage. The boy hit a window on a lower floor, which altered his trajectory and caused him to fall on a tree. He eventually landed face down in a bush. A site inspection revealed that some tree branches were broken and the child had multiple scratches, supporting the theory that the branches cushioned his fall and saved his life. Recalling the incident on July 15, Zhu said his son accidentally fell out of the window, which had no security bars. Zhu said that property management staff helped call emergency services and send his son to the hospital. He added that his son is now recovering from a fractured left arm, spinal strain and multiple internal injuries. 'Fortunately, his head was not injured,' Zhu said. Believing that the tree branches buffered the impact and saved his son, the family has since tied a red string to the tree as a sign of gratitude. > Nanyang Siang Pau reported that Hong Kong actress Louise Lee Si-kei was in Malaysia enjoying various local durian varieties, including the famous Black Thorn and Musang King. From the photos she shared on Instagram at a durian orchard, it's clear that she thoroughly enjoyed herself as she indulged in Malaysia's culinary delights. Besides durian, she also met up with Liu Wai Hung, fondly known as Ah Chan, whom she last met more than 30 years ago. In her post, she mentioned that not only did she get to enjoy durians personally selected by Ah Chan, she also visited his newly opened restaurant. Lee recalled that they had worked together on the TVB sitcom Three in a Family back in 1990.

#SHOWBIZ: HK actor Louis Fan ate 7 durians during 3-day stay in Malaysia
HONG KONG: Actor Louis Fan recently popped over to Malaysia to cheer on his wife, Chinese artiste JJ Jia, at her concert in Genting Highlands on July 19. While in Malaysia, the 52-year-old took full advantage of durian season, indulging in plenty of the 'King of Fruits'. In a recent update on Xiaohongshu (Red Note), the martial arts star shared several photos of himself thoroughly enjoying durians. He also made sure to visit the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, where he snapped a photo to remember the trip. "Finally experienced the joy of durians. I scoffed four durians a day and managed seven in just three days. "Freshly picked Musang King from the tree is simply too delicious," he wrote in his post. While Fan's durian enthusiasm tickled many fans, some were quick to point out that in Malaysia, durians are typically left to fall naturally from the tree when ripe. This ensures they have the best flavour and texture. "In Malaysia, we usually let the durian fall naturally instead of picking them from the tree," one netizen commented. Fan is best known for his roles in the films Riki-Oh: The Story Of Ricky (1991) and Ip Man (2008), as well as its 2010 sequel.
