IN less than half a year, Hong Kong actor Hugo Ng and his friends have opened the fourth outlet of a coffee shop franchise in Malaysia, Sin Chew Daily reported.
It is learnt that his wife, former actress Lily Chung, also invested in the coffee shop known as 9 Kopitiam.
Artistes from the Hong Kong All Stars Soccer Team, including actor Nat Chan, patronised one of the outlets recently.
The coffee shop is known for its affordable prices.
Ng said response for his business has been good so far, adding that he plans to bring the brand to Hong Kong soon.
He said the coffee shop is also one of the sponsors for the Bromance Live Concert featuring Ron Ng, Michael Tse, Julian Cheung, Edmond Leung and Jerry Lamb.
The concert will be held at Bukit Jalil National Stadium on Sept 9.
> A man had to get help after his penis became stuck in a mineral water bottle in Taiyuan city, Shanxi province, China Press reported.
He went through pain for a few hours before firemen managed to “free” him without injuring his private parts during the incident on July 18.
Earlier, the man had sought help from a passer-by, who then alerted the authorities.
Even paramedics could not relieve him of his ordeal, so the firemen came to the rescue.
In the end, they managed to relieve him from his suffering and embarrassment by cutting the bottle with a saw.
Social media users were quick to make fun of the situation, with one of them saying: “How did you manage that?”
Others were more cruel, with one saying: “So embarrassing, go dig a hole and bury yourself!”
