Actor Lee on an unlucky streak since landing in M'sia
The 51-year-old Taiwanese star arrived in the country on April 22, but was detained by Customs at the airport for two hours due to visa issues.
The next morning, he was shocked to find that a tooth had fallen out and required immediate dental attention.
The actor posted a photo of himself on a dentist's chair with the caption: 'I can now continue to work!'
Malaysian film producer Jin Ong, believing Lee was experiencing bad luck, took him to the Thean Hou temple to pray for better fortune.
'I pray to the goddess that my work in Malaysia will go smoothly and that I will remain safe!' he said online.
It was reported that Lee will be working with award-winning Taiwanese filmmaker Tang Hsiang-chu on the upcoming movie Sayang.
Scenes are expected to be filmed in Terengganu and Kelantan.

Former TVB actress Ali Lee says she fell ill while filming local drama in Malaysia
Popular Hong Kong actress Ali Lee Kai-sum, who was in Malaysia filming the upcoming Astro drama The Exiled, revealed that she unexpectedly fell ill during the shoot. She stars opposite fellow Hong Kong actor Chris Lai Lok-yi in the series. According to an article by Sin Chew, Lee shared that she had to take 10 types of medication – including painkillers and sore throat remedies – while unwell. Fortunately, the medicine helped, and she made a significant recovery although she had a cough that didn't go away for awhile. In a behind-the-scenes video, the 42-year-old expressed gratitude to Lai who took care of her when she was ill. It was previously reported that Lee took the role in The Exiled partly because of her friendship with Lai. In the video, the duo spoke about their experience filming in Malaysia. Lee recalled how Lai encouraged her to get some sun and looked after her when she was feeling unwell. She humorously shared that at one point she knocked on Lai's hotel room door to ask for medicine, saying: 'His room became like a pharmacy. When I was coughing really badly, I went knocking and said, 'Excuse me doctor, I need medicine'.' Meanwhile, Lai added that many people were concerned about Lee's condition and would often call him to check if she was feeling better. Lee left TVB last year after 12 years with the company.
