The couple are said to have been together for 24 years.
Lau, who wanted to show his sincerity to his long-time girlfriend, was reported as saying that he would be in Kuala Lumpur to personally deliver the wedding invitation cards on April 6.
The daily reported that Lau planned to hold a party for Chu, a former beauty queen, whose birthday falls on April 6.

New intake not affected by New Era College controversy
China Press reported that the New Era College controversy did not affect the new intake this year.
College vice-principal Mok Soon Chong said 170 students had applied between January and this month.
“The number of new applicants this year is almost the same as last year. We believe that more students will apply for the courses in the next two weeks,” he said.
Last year, the college was in the limelight due to the row between Dong Zong (the United Chinese School Committees Association of Malaysia) president Dr Yap Sin Tian and the college’s former principal Dr Kua Kia Soong. Dr Yap is also senate chairman of the college.
