THE family of renowned Hong Kong superstar Aaron Kwok has welcomed a new member into their household – an adopted cat, Oriental Daily reported.
Kwok’s wife, Moka Fang, revealed in a social media post on Oct 8 that they had recently taken in an abandoned cat.
“It appears to be somewhat fearful of people and tends to hide during the day. It only comes out when I’m alone at home.
“I’ve never seen such a quiet cat. It doesn’t meow or make a fuss,” she said.
Netizens joked that the cat’s fate had forever changed after it had moved into the superstar’s lavish home.
Kwok, who will be turning 59 later this month, has two daughters with Fang.
> A 13-year-old dog named Baew has made a heartwarming return to its owner in Thailand’s Nakhon Ratchasima province after being missing for nearly two months, China Press reported.
Its owner, Niraya, said the dog disappeared for 51 days and subsequently walked 72km from her sister’s house, where she had gone missing, to make her way home.According to Niraya, she took Baew to a vet on Aug 13 but was told that Baew’s blood test results would take a day, so she left Baew at her sister’s house, which was closer to the hospital.
However, Baew disappeared from her sister’s place the next day. Niraya said the family spent over 10,000 baht (about RM1,280) in their efforts to find Baew.
In a surprising turn of events, Baew appeared at her doorstep on Oct 3, looking exhausted, but it immediately ran towards Niraya.
> A high school student in Chongqing, China, succeeded in getting a restaurant to compensate him for not delivering the food as was shown in its menu photo, China Press reported.
He had ordered from a barbecue restaurant through a food delivery platform in April, which cost 31 yuan (RM18.80).
When the student received the order, the portion of the 15-yuan (RM9) fish-flavoured shredded pork dish was significantly smaller than what the menu photo showed.
After being denied compensation, the student decided to file a lawsuit.
The district court judge decided that the student’s food clearly differed from the photo on the delivery platform.
The restaurant was ordered to compensate the student with 500 yuan (RM303).
