Malaysian-born TVB star Jacquelin Ch’ng recently ran into fellow Hong Kong-based actress Snowy Bai while in Kuala Lumpur.
In a recent Instagram Reel, Ch’ng was seen strolling along the bustling streets of Bukit Bintang, where she was filming content for her social media.
The 44-year-old noted that the intersection of Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Bukit Bintang has become a trendy spot for influencers, and she wanted to capture a few shots of herself there.
“After getting the shots, I bumped into an old friend who I haven’t seen in a long time,” said the actress, who’s also based in Hong Kong.
Ch’ng seemed surprised to run into Bai, 36, in the city.
While the China-born celebrity didn’t reveal why she was in town, many speculate that she was here for a holiday.
The two friends then hugged each other and posed for photos before going their separate ways.
Many netizens have since left comments praising the pair for their beauty, while others hoped to bump into the two stars during their time in Malaysia.
“I hope there will be a chance for me to take a photo with you,” said one netizen.
“Wow! KL is so huge, yet you were both able to run into each other,” added another.
“Both of you are so pretty,” said a third.
Malaysia has long been a hotspot for many Hong Kong celebrities.
TVB general manager Eric Tsang, who’s in KL to film a Chinese New Year movie, said during a recent press conference that Malaysia is like a “best friend” to many Hong Kong stars.
Other Hong Kong celebrities who stopped by the country in recent months include Bosco Wong, Nicholas Tse, Anita Yuen, Jackson Wang and Herman Yau.
