Hong Kong actress Jacqueline Wong (pic), who had remained low profile online ever since her cheating scandal with married singer Andy Hui in 2019, recently posted pictures of her birthday on social media, reported Sin Chew Daily.

Wong, who turned 33 on Jan 23, uploaded a photograph of herself holding a birthday cake with her two sisters.

“Thank you all and wish you all well too. It’s been a long time,” she wrote.

It was earlier reported that Wong had made only two social media posts in 2021, with many speculating that she had wanted to remain out of the public limelight for the time being.

In April 2019, Wong, who was then in a relationship with actor Kenneth Ma, was caught kissing Hui at the back of a taxi.

The scandal grabbed headlines for several months, forcing Wong to take a six-month hiatus in the US.

She returned to Hong Kong in December that year but had maintained a low profile ever since.

> A 12-year-old boy in China’s Gungxi province allegedly stabbed his father in the neck and killed him for confiscating his phone, reported Sin Chew Daily.

The Ningming county police received a report on Jan 18 that a boy had allegedly stabbed his father with a pair of scissors on Jan 16.

Despite receiving medical treatment, the father bled to death.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the father had forbidden his son from bringing his phone to school and had asked him to hand the device over to him and the boy reacted in a violent way.
