Cancer-stricken Peter Pang works hard to recoup RM270K in living & medical bills
Despite being diagnosed with stage three rectal cancer in July 2023, Hong Kong singer-actor Peter Pang continues to work tirelessly to recoup the costs of his medical treatment.
In a recent update on Xiaohongshu (Red Note), Pang, 54, revealed that he had secured a singing gig at a nightclub in mainland China.
He also shared a video from the performance, showing fans enthusiastically singing along as he belted the 1993 classic Sky – originally sung by Cantopop group Beyond.
'I'm grateful that I can still use this body to perform for everyone. I'll keep going,' he captioned his post.
According to Hong Kong's Headline Daily , Pang recently admitted to struggling financially.
The publication reported that after being out of work for a year to focus on his treatment, Pang has exhausted the HK$500,000 (RM270,751) he borrowed to cover both medical and living expenses.
With a wife and three children to support, the former TVB star is eager to return to work to begin repaying his debts.
'No work means no income… My wife is working, but it's hard for her to shoulder everything alone. The money we borrowed is nearly gone. If this keeps up, we won't make it,' he said.
Still, the Sinister Beings (2021) actor remains hopeful, adding: 'I want people to know that just because I'm sick doesn't mean I can't work. I'm still full of life. I can do this!'

HK actress Myolie Wu dispels rumours with family vacation in the Maldives
Myolie Wu shares a photo of her family of five on social media on July 23. Photo: Myolie Wu/Instagram Hong Kong actress Myolie Wu is vacationing with her family in the Maldives and, in the process, dispelling any lingering rumours that her marriage is on the rocks. 'Our annual date with the ocean, love this paradise!' the 45-year-old wrote on social media on July 23, sharing several photos of herself and her family at a lagoon resort. The actress, who recently starred in Chinese TV series A Better Life (2025), is married to British-born businessman Philip Lee, 52. They have three sons, aged four to seven. The five of them were all dressed in shades of blue in the photos, with Wu resting her hands on her husband's shoulder in one picture. She added on Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu: 'Although the weather isn't great, it's a sunny day as long as we are together!' Lee was in the news in March when he was spotted by a Hong Kong magazine hugging several women at a pub while celebrating his birthday. He took to Instagram to address the report, saying that he was a 'big hugger'. Wu did not react publicly to the incident for a while. Neither did she appear in the Instagram photos posted by Lee of their youngest son's birthday in April, raising speculation of marital woes. The actress broke her silence in May, telling the media that it was a misunderstanding. 'In fact, those who were present that night were close friends and relatives,' she said. 'The two ladies who were photographed hugging my husband are friends whom I have known for many years, and their husbands were also present.' Wu added: 'My husband hugged both men and women. It was normal social interaction with his friends.' Referring to her marriage, she said: 'There are absolutely no problems in our relationship.' – The Straits Times/Asia News Network View this post on Instagram A post shared by Myolie Wu (@myoliemyolie)

#SHOWBIZ: Actor Peter Lai, 75, searching for soul mate, estranged from son
HONG KONG: Veteran lyricist and actor Peter Lai, 75, recently opened up about his personal life in an interview with 8Days. The publication reported that Peter has a son from his previous marriage, which ended in 1992. He described his son as someone who "mooches off the elderly," revealing he had been helping him clear credit card debt amounting to hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars for about two years. Peter only managed to settle all his son's debts last month. He complained that his son ignores him and treats him "like a stranger." Peter confessed he is now looking for a soulmate for companionship, openly stating his intention to marry. "Lee Lung Kei can do it, why can't I?" he remarked, referring to veteran actor Lee Lung Kei, 73, whose 36-year-old Chinese fiancée made headlines last year after being arrested for overstaying in Hong Kong. When asked if he was concerned about his son's future after he passed away, Peter calmly replied: "Let him fend for himself. When I'm gone, he can live under the bridge; he's not going to die, he can apply for public housing! He'll survive." Peter is renowned for co-writing the lyrics to many popular Cantopop songs in the 1970s and 80s alongside Sam Hui. These tracks include Leslie Cheung's 'Monica' and Sam's 'Susie of Tsim Sha Tsui'. In the 1990s, Peter went on to star in numerous TVB dramas until his contract with the broadcaster concluded in 2012.
