Hong Kong-based Malaysian singer Karen Kong recalled that she had a lot of different jobs while trying to make a name for herself as a singer there.

She told mStar – The Star’s Malay-language portal – that she held many posts in the 11 years she’s been in Hong Kong, and some of them are not showbiz-related, including office jobs and even selling durians to make ends meet during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
