MALAYSIAN-BORN Hong Kong actress Jacquelin Ch’ng has caused concern among her fans and social media followers by openly flaunting her wealth in recent YouTube videos, reported China Press.

In her video logs or vlogs, the 43-year-old has been sharing information on her investments, including in cryptocurrencies, properties and even taxi permits.

Ch’ng said she was spending a lot of time and working in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, and bought many valuables.

She also showed off her three favourite Hermes bags, with the smallest costing about RM15,000.

She also unveiled her collection of Rolex watches, with the report saying that the one she was wearing was estimated at RM180,000.

Also featured in her videos is her luxurious home, said to be valued at RM11.8mil, boasting a spacious living room and garden.

Fans warned Ch’ng against revealing too much about her wealth and house.

“There are too many valuables in your house. You will make yourself a target for burglary,” one of the netizens wrote.

Early this month, Ch’ng caused a stir when she vlogged about her visit to a cryptocurrency store in Hong Kong to make an investment.

She strolled casually along a busy street with a tote bag on her left arm and an Hermes bag on her right.

After dropping the tote off at the store’s counter, a staff member was seen pulling out stacks of bills that came up to HK$2mil (RM1.2mil).

Ch’ng is known for being born into a wealthy family. Her father, Malaysian businessman Datuk Bill Ch’ng Chong Poh, died of an illness on Feb 28.

> Hong Kong singer Josie Ho called her producer husband Conroy Chan Chi-chung on the phone in a video interview to talk about his health condition, Sin Chew Daily reported.

In the interview, Ho, 48, told TV host Carol Cheng that Chan, 50, was admitted to the hospital for an emergency procedure due to a burst aorta, which was sustained while he was carrying a heavy item during his visit to Australia.

“The doctors cut the severed part of the aorta and replaced it with a plastic tube to keep him alive,” Ho, who is the daughter of the late Macau casino tycoon Stanley Ho, said.
