NOT everyone recognises Hong Kong superstar Jacky Cheung (pic), as the singer recounts being denied entry to his own concert in Macau, reported China Press.
A security guard stopped the 63-year-old when he tried to enter the Galaxy Arena venue in Macau last week and demanded Cheung show identification indicating that he was a performer.
Stunned, the ‘God of Songs’ pointed at a poster nearby to show that he was to perform there that evening, but the guard would not relent.
“I sincerely think he was just being very professional at his job,” Cheung said.
Apparently, this was not the first time security personnel failed to recognise him.
Cheung was previously denied entry at one of his concerts in mainland China.
“Don’t think of yourself as a legend. Instead, see yourself as a new performer every day. Only then can you improve.
“This experience taught me to continue practising singing and learning how to do the splits. Do not worry, everyone. Jacky Cheung will not stop and will keep on working and improving,” he said.
> A woman in Sibu who just wanted to buy a Nyonya meal worth RM3.50 ended up having RM17,530 from her bank account stolen, the daily also reported.
The incident happened in May when the woman saw an advertisement on Facebook for a set meal for Nyonya fried chicken and vegetables for just RM3.50.
She called the number on the advertisement and ordered five sets of the meal deal.
The caterer later sent her a WhatsApp link to redeem vouchers worth RM30.
When she clicked on the link, her phone suddenly switched off.
By the time she restarted her phone, RM17,530 had been transferred out of her bank account in five transactions.
Friends also alerted her that her WhatsApp account had been used to send messages asking to borrow money from all her contacts.
Realising that she had been scammed, the woman then made a police report.
