Chinese actress Zhao Lusi accuses agency of wage theft, threats
Zhao Lusi accused her management made an unauthorised withdrawal of RM1.2mil from her personal studio's account. Photo: Zhao Lusi/Instagram Popular Chinese actress Zhao Lusi has engaged in a war of words with her management agency Galaxy Cool Entertainment on Chinese social media platform Weibo. The 26-year-old, who shot to fame with period dramas such as The Romance Of Tiger And Rose (2020) and Love Like The Galaxy (2022), accused Galaxy Cool Entertainment of an unauthorised withdrawal of 2.05 million yuan (RM1.2mil) from her personal studio's account. She alleged the agency left her to shoulder financial burdens alone despite agreeing to take responsibility for cancelled endorsements, during the period in 2024 when she was seeking treatment for several health issues and depression. The 1.61m-tall actress' physical and mental condition took a toll due to overwork and, once, she weighed just 36kg. Photos of her in a wheelchair were also circulated on social media in December 2024. Zhao lost her ability to speak at one point. She also suffered from frequent episodes of nausea and dizziness, and joint pains. Her lengthy posts in Chinese also alleged disputes over control and unsuccessful termination negotiations. She claimed she was warned against speaking out, with threats that she could be blacklisted from the entertainment industry if she pursued legal action. 'You don't need to blacklist me, I quit,' Zhao wrote, urging her followers to report to the police should they face similar situations. Galaxy Cool Entertainment issued its response on Weibo on Aug 3, expressing its 'shock' at Zhao's accusations. The agency denied any illegal or contractual breach, and emphasised it is prioritising Zhao's 'wishes and well-being' following her illness. It also urged the actress to avoid posting ambiguous content online that could lead to public misunderstanding. Zhao subsequently reposted the statement on her Weibo, refuting the agency's claims, and calling it out for leaving her alone when she was sick. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

Stella Rimington, Britain's first female spy chief, dies at 90
LONDON: Stella Rimington, the first female director general of Britain's MI5 security and counter-intelligence service who ushered in an era of greater transparency at the agency, has died aged 90. Rimington, who ran the domestic security agency between 1992 and 1996, was its first head to be publicly named and later wrote a memoir 'Open Secret' about her career at the formerly secretive organisation. She went on to write a series of espionage novels and is also widely thought to have inspired actor Judy Dench's tough but playful characterisation of the fictional spymaster 'M' in several James Bond movies. 'She died surrounded by her beloved family and dogs and determinedly held on to the life she loved until her last breath,' a family statement quoted by local media said. Rimington was given one of the British state's highest honours when she was made a dame in 1996. She joined MI5 in 1969 and worked in roles including counter-subversion and counter-terrorism. Under her leadership MI5 took a more prominent role in Britain's fight against Irish republican militants, according to a profile on the MI5 website. 'As the first avowed female head of any intelligence agency in the world, Dame Stella broke through long-standing barriers and was a visible example of the importance of diversity in leadership,' current MI5 Director General Ken McCallum said in a statement. She committed the agency to a more transparent approach to its work, softening its post-Cold War image. 'We are, of course, obliged to keep information secret in order to be effective, this is not to say that we should necessarily be a wholly secret organisation,' she said in a publicly broadcast 1994 lecture. 'Secrecy is not imposed for its own sake. It is not an end in itself.' Foreshadowing her later literary career, Rimington opened that same speech with a nod to the British spy novel tradition and the fascination with the security services it had inspired among the general public. 'It is exciting stuff and has led to the creation of many myths - and some lurid speculation - about our work. I must admit that it is with some hesitation that I set out tonight to shed some daylight,' she said. 'I have a sneaking feeling that the fiction may turn out to be more fun than the reality.' - Reuters

Melco Resorts eyes global casino expansion
New development: Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan (centre) receives a present from chairman of John Keells Holdings Krishan Balendra (right) and Ho (left) during the opening ceremony of 'City of Dreams' in Colombo. The project is a US$1.2bil joint venture. — AFP HONG KONG: Melco Resorts & Entertainment Ltd is in talks to expand its brand beyond Macau, with plans to ramp up an asset-light strategy by teaming up with local partners to co-run multi-billion-dollar casino projects, chief executive officer Lawrence Ho says. The approach would help the group reduce debt and capture growth opportunities in emerging markets, Ho, who is also Melco's founder, said in a video interview with Bloomberg News from Colombo. He is in the Sri Lankan capital to open a casino resort – its first project under the new strategy. 'Having these new opportunities come up, our asset-light strategy allows us to do those and also have management fees and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) associated with it, without committing serious capital,' Ho said. He didn't name the new markets the company is exploring, but said the group may reveal more details about its efforts within the next 12 to 18 months. Melco has racked up more than US$7bil of debt, the highest among Macau's six casino operators, after its global expansion was disrupted by three years of Covid curbs in China that limited tourism. The group is now focusing on reducing its borrowings as Macau's growth potential has been constrained by Beijing's crackdown on high rollers and tighter regulations. Melco is pursuing its asset-light strategy expansion as countries from the United Arab Emirates to Japan and Thailand look to boost tourism by legalising casinos. The group in February announced plans to explore a sale of its Manila resort to help cut debt and free up capital. Ho had previously described Thailand's casino legalisation efforts 'a generational opportunity'. However, Thailand's plan has stalled after the government withdrew the bill last month amid public opposition and political turmoil. The delay could benefit the group, Ho said, giving the company more time to cut debt and increase capital. City of Dreams Sri Lanka is a US$1.2bil joint development between Melco and the country's major conglomerate John Keells Holdings Plc. Melco has invested about US$125mil and will operate the gaming floors and some accommodations. The project includes 800 luxury hotel rooms and suites, convention facilities and premium retail spaces. The group also operates a casino resort in Cyprus and is exploring ways to recoup part of its investment, Ho said. Options include replacing some of the initial shareholders' loans with bank loans or bringing in strategic investors, he added. Melco posted US$378mil in adjusted property Ebitda for the three months ended June, up 25% year-on-year, and beating analysts' expectations. The performance follows a boom in Macau's non-gaming activities, including concerts and entertainment shows, as well as a bullish stock market in Hong Kong and mainland China. The company has stepped up its non-gaming offerings in Macau, including the May relaunch of the long-running show, The House of Dancing Water. The show, which takes place in a 2,000-seat theater, has helped boost footfall by about a third, Ho said, creating opportunities for the group to attract more visitors to its gaming floors. 'The House of Dancing Water has helped a lot on the non-gaming, including packages with hotels and restaurants,' said Ho. — Bloomberg
