Veteran Hong Kong actress dies from cancer a week after husband's suicide
In a tragic turn of events, veteran Hong Kong actress Hung Suet Nei aka Suet Nay Hung passed away from pancreatic cancer on Thursday (Jul 3) while in hospital. She was 77 and had been battling cancer for a few years, requiring long-term hospitalisation. He was 88. Media reports stated that Tang Chia's body had been found dismembered, with his head and torso allegedly found in separate locations. No suicide note was found, but it was believed that he was deeply affected by Suet Nay's deteriorating health and had reportedly told family members his despair and desire to 'leave with her'. In recent years, Suet Nay was also diagnosed with hereditary hearing loss, leaving one ear completely deaf. Tang Chia remained faithfully by her side, serving as her 'personal hearing aid'. After his death, it was revealed he was scheduled to visit a law firm to draft his will, but chose to end his life instead. They had been married for 54 years before his death and have always been seen as one of Hong Kong showbiz's most loving couples. Born in Hubei, China, Suet Nay began her career in 1962 at the age of 17 and is best known for her role as a swordswoman in The Legend of Wonder Lady. She briefly retired in 1969 and immigrated to Canada with her family. Suet Nay returned to Hong Kong in the '90s and rejoined TVB in 1997 before retiring again in 2020. Though she rarely made public appearances since, she was last photographed in August last year smiling blissfully with her husband.

The Gaga Effect: Lady Gaga's shows provided a 'healthy boost' to Singapore's economy, pulling in up to S$150M
SINGAPORE: While Taylor Swift's Midas touch boosted the Singapore economy by an estimated US$400 million (S$540 million), the Gaga effect, though lower in amount, also provided a 'healthy boost' to the city-state's economy, according to experts, Malay Mail reported, citing The Straits Times . It also trailed behind Coldplay's shows. Maybank economist Brian Lee said Lady Gaga's four-night concert in May brought in between S$100 million and S$150 million in tourism receipts, including spending on entertainment, food, hotels, and shopping. The concerts, held on May 18, 19, 21, and 24 at the National Stadium, which has a capacity of about 50,000, attracted 193,000 fans and earned US$40.8 million (around S$55 million) in ticket sales — Lady Gaga's only ticketed shows in May, according to Billboard . Each concert pulled in around S$13 million in revenue. 'Gaga's concerts generated about half the revenue of Swift's Singapore shows, which pulled in S$104 million,' Mr Lee reportedly said, noting that it wasn't surprising, as Lady Gaga had a smaller, more niche following. In April, analysts expected the concert to bring in about 200,000 visitors and generate up to S$250 million in revenue. The Singapore Tourism Board reported an 8% year-on-year (YoY) rise in visitor arrivals in May, a sharp contrast to a 43.5% surge in March during Swift's exclusive concert deal in the city-state. In terms of ticket sales, Malay Mail reported that tickets were still available in the week leading up to Lady Gaga's shows, unlike Taylor Swift's concerts, which had sold out well in advance. Associate Professor Kiattipoom Kiatkawsin from the Singapore Institute of Technology said Lady Gaga's lower boost to the economy may be linked to her fewer show dates and the timing of her Mayhem album release. Still, he said bringing in global acts like Coldplay, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift strengthens Singapore's reputation as a 'premier destination for global entertainment' in the region. Despite a busy first half of the year, analysts expect a quieter next six months. While other major events are still on the calendar, including the Singapore Grand Prix in October, with performances by Foo Fighters and Elton John, and a Blackpink concert in November, Mr Lee warned the trade war and heightened global economic uncertainty could weigh on business and leisure travel, even with big names in the line-up. /TISG Read also: Swiftonomics boosted 35% UOB card billings; cardholders spent over S$30M on Eras Tour tickets Featured image by Depositphotos (for illustration purposes only)

China's first Legoland opens to tourists in Shanghai
SHANGHAI: Thousands of local tourists poured into China's first Legoland as it opened its gates in Shanghai on Saturday (Jul 5), the latest theme park hoping to capitalise on a domestic tourism boom. The Chinese branch of the British-owned theme park franchise is the biggest Legoland in the world. It drew in early customers who flocked to attractions including a miniature train ride and a dragon-themed rollercoaster. "I personally love to play with Lego blocks and we have many sets at home ... so I wanted to come to Legoland at the earliest opportunity," said Shi, a 35-year-old resident of nearby city Hangzhou, who was visiting the park with his wife and child. Despite the Chinese economy's sluggish growth in recent years, domestic tourist spending grew 18.6 per cent in the first quarter of this year compared to the previous year, according to statistics. "Ever since the pandemic, I've made very few trips abroad," said Shi, adding his family now travels to theme parks around China "many times a year". Eager Lego fans rushed into the park as soon as it opened, wearing themed shirts and waving branded flags as they enjoyed the 318,000 sq m compound in scorching temperatures. Beijing has announced subsidies intended to make travelling within the country more affordable for Chinese citizens, and is pushing local governments to heavily market their attractions on social media. Companies have taken note of the wider local tourism boom and stepped up their plans in China. A new "Spider-Man" attraction at Shanghai Disneyland broke ground in May, while Warner Brothers is set to open a Harry Potter experience in Shanghai by 2027. Toy giant Hasbro said this week its giant Peppa Pig park in the city was now "in the phase of creative design". Chinese collectable toy maker Pop Mart has also opened an attraction in Beijing featuring life-sized versions of its popular Labubu toys. "The various provinces are putting a lot of effort into expanding their tourism industries, and all of them have special attractions," said Xu, a 34-year-old parent visiting Legoland on Saturday with his children. But profitability remains a problem, especially for local companies with less brand recognition. As of late 2024, around 40 per cent of parks were still failing to turn a profit, according to state media reports. Yet analysts point to a growing population of retirees and job market changes as key factors pushing more locals to visit domestic attractions. "The labour market is turning more flexible," said Ernan Cui, China consumer analyst at Gavekal Research.
