French girl spills on Neo Mar 10, 2010 A YOUNG French student is the latest to claim that film-maker Jack Neo hit on her - when she was only 16 more than five years ago. Maelle Meurzec, now 21, told The New Paper in an interview at her Upper East Coast road home on Tuesday night, that the 50-year-old movie director hit on her while she was acting in his movie I Do I Do in Nov 2004. From what she thought was a 'friendly' wrap around her shoulders on the first day they met, she claimed that Neo continued to make more aggressive advances on her even after the filming had ended, including sending her 30 SMSes, and repeated attempts to take her out to dinner at hotels. The pretty Singaporean citizen of French descent, then a model with MC Models, did not mince her words in the TNP interview, calling Neo 'a bit of a creep', 'a sleazebag' and 'a jerk'. The final straw came on Christmas Day 2004 when Neo sent her an SMS, saying that he wished they could be together. Upset, Maelle told her mother, Ms Agnes Meurzec, 51, about it. The family also decided to make a police report if Neo continue to harass the girl. Neo stopped messaging her and they never met again. Neo's daughter, the eldest of his four children, is two years younger than Maelle. At least 10 more women are reported to have been linked to Neo since his affair with 22-year-old Wendy Chong first broke last weekend when the freelance model showed up at his Pasir Ris semi-detached house last Friday, demanding to see his wife, Madam Irene Kng, 46.

Cheating director called Singapore's Tiger Woods By ALEX KENNEDY, Associated Press Writer - Friday, March 12 SINGAPORE – Columnists and bloggers are calling him Singapore's Tiger Woods _ not for his golfing skills but for an extramarital affair that has tarnished the image of the city-state's most beloved film director. On Thursday, in a news conference reminiscent of Wood's confession on live television last month, director Jack Neo, admitted to cheating on his wife, culminating a week of revelations about a two-year relationship Neo had with a 22-year-old model. Other aspiring actresses and models, including a 16-year-old, have told local tabloids this week that Neo aggressively tried seducing them, including promising to make them stars in his movies. "It's all my fault," Neo, 50, said before covering his face with his hands and crying. "Please give us a chance." Neo's wife of 27 years, Irene, was by his side. She said she forgave her husband and would stay with him. She broke down after speaking and collapsed while walking away. She had to be carried from the stage amid a blaze of photographer's flash lights. "I've already been hurt," she said through tears. "I really need your blessings." Neo gained fame as a comedian on Singapore television in the 1990s and later directed popular Chinese and English-language movies _ such as "Money No Enough" and "I Not Stupid" _ that celebrated the importance of family among other topics. His latest, "Being Human," opened in Singapore last week. The government has recognized Neo with public service and cultural awards and he shares a blog with Foreign Affairs Minister George Yeo, who wrote on Sunday that Singaporeans should "rally around Jack, his wife and his children." Others have been quick to distance themselves from Neo. Mitsubishi Electric Asia on Wednesday dropped Neo as a spokesman for the company's StarMex air conditioners. "It amounts to Singapore's very own version of the Tiger Woods sex scandal," said Chia Han Keong, a columnist at newspaper My Paper. "Just like Woods, his act of unfaithfulness to his wife has elicited far more reprehension than perhaps he would have expected." Woods ended three months of silence last month and confirmed he had extramaritial affairs, at a televised public statement not attended by his wife, Elin. The golf superstar lost a number of advertising sponsors and says he is taking leave from the sport while working to save his marriage. Neo's saga began Saturday when Wendy Chong, a model who had small roles in two Neo movies, told a Chinese-language tabloid she has been his girlfriend for two years and confronted Neo's wife last week. "Aw come on, that girl is young enough to be your daughter," wrote blogger Victor Koo. "Jack seems to be playing Tiger Woods." Newspapers have published allegations of more affairs and quoted actresses who say they spurned his advances. Maelle Meurzec, 21, said that after a small role in Neo's 2004 movie I Do I Do, he bombarded her with text messages and told her to meet him at hotels. She turned him down. "This guy is supposedly promoting family values but he can't even hold himself back from sending text messages to a 16-year-old," Meurzec told the New Paper. Associated Press writer Chun Han Wong contributed to this report.

Jack Neo's exploits pale in comparison... 'Britain's Fritzl' raped daughters for over 25yrs AFP - Thursday, March 11 LONDON (AFP) - – Two British women who were raped and abused by their father for over 25 years, becoming pregnant 18 times, have won an apology from local authorities for failing to prevent the serial incest. In a case compared with that of Austria's notorious Josef Fritzl, the 56-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is serving a life jail term for raping his daughters, who had seven babies by their father. Details of the abuse were revealed Wednesday in a case review by local authorities, who accepted that 28 agencies and 100 officials had dealt with the family over 35 years. "We want to apologise to the family at the heart of this case. It will be clear that we failed this family," said Sue Fiennes, head of the Sheffield Safeguarding Children Board. "This report will not make comfortable reading for any of the organisations concerned with the family. We are all committed to working relentlessly to do all we can to minimise the risk of this happening again." "Lessons are being learned by the agencies involved," she added. The ordeal started in 1981 when the daughters were aged eight and 10. At the start they were attacked every day, and later were raped two or three times a week, review documents revealed. If they refused the advances of their father -- who called himself the "gaffer", or boss -- they would be punched, kicked and sometimes held in the flames of a gas fire. The case review showed that the family moved home 67 times over a 35-year period so that the father could avoid detection. The women's brother voiced anger that his sisters had not been protected, saying: "I blame a lot of people." "I blame people that were meant to be looking after children because we were all meant to be under child protection at five, so I blame the people that should have been doing their jobs looking after us," he added. Children's Secretary Ed Balls branded the crimes "horrific" and said they should have been prevented. "Like many people, I find it impossible to understand how a father could treat his own daughters in this way," he said. "It is absolutely right for people to want to know how such abuse could go on for so long without the authorities and public services discovering it and taking action." Media compared the case with that of Austria's Fritzl, who was jailed for life last year for holding his daughter as a sex slave for 24 years in a cramped, windowless chamber and murdering one of their seven children. The Daily Mail newspaper said the case bore "chilling echoes" of Fritzl's crimes. The British serial rapist had "left a trail of misery and recrimination, and a family of children whose warped parentage will scar them for life," said the paper.

Ohhh ManUtd !...ManUtd !...when the RED DEVILS come marching in !!! Rooney should aim to beat Ronaldo tally - Ferguson Sir Alex Ferguson has challenged Wayne Rooney to surpass Cristiano Ronaldo's 42-goal season for Manchester United. England striker Rooney reached 30 with two against AC Milan as United beat them 4-0 to send them crashing out of the Champions League 7-2 on aggregate. "That has to be his goal now doesn't it?" said Ferguson referring to Ronaldo's 42-goal tally in 2007-08. However, Rooney said: "I'm delighted to get two more goals but I haven't set a target. I just want to keep scoring." The 24-year-old, who also scored twice in the first leg in Milan, added: "Overall, it was a great result and we are delighted to get through. "The first goal was vital. We set out to get an early goal to kill the game off and when we got it we shattered Milan's confidence. "That was the major turning point. Now we can just look forward to the quarter-finals draw [on 19 March] and see how it goes from there. "There is no preference. They are all difficult games at this stage of the competition." Former team-mate David Beckham, currently on loan from La Galaxy to AC Milan, hailed Rooney as one of the best players in the world after his latest performance. The veteran England midfielder Beckham said: "Wayne is such an exceptional talent. "Without a doubt he is one of the best players, if not the best, in the world at the moment with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi." Ferguson added: "Wayne continued tonight what he has done all season - he was absolutely sensational. "(But) it was a marvellous performance from all my players, especially in the second half when our second goal effectively ended the contest. "When we play with that tempo we're very difficult for anybody to play against. "Ji-Sung Park, in particular, showed sacrifice, intelligence and discipline and we needed that against [Milan midfielder] Andrea Pirlo." Asked who he would like to face in the last eight of the competition, Ferguson added: "With the kind of team I've got, it doesn't matter who we get." Beckham, despite his disappointment on the night, admitted he will remember the occasion for a long time thanks to the rapturous reception he received from United's supporters on his return to Old Trafford. "It was a disappointing night because we lost the game, but returning here is always special," he said. "It was an unbelievable reception I got, incredible, and I have to say thank you. "If this is my last appearance at Old Trafford, I'll take the memory of the fans away with me - they were incredible. "Of course I now want United to go on and win it. They deserve it." Beckham left the field wearing a green and gold scarf thrown to him by a fan protesting against the Glazer family, who own the club, but he denied that meant he is anti-Glazer. "I'm a Manchester United fan. I saw the scarf there, I put it round my neck," he said. "It's the old colours of United, that's all I knew. "To be honest it's not my business. I support the club. I always have done and I always will do. "It's nothing to do with me the way everything is run, that's to do with other people but I'm a United fan and I will always support them. "Obviously you can hear it week in and week out. There's always protests going on. Let's hope it gets sorted out." Milan coach Leonardo, meanwhile, admitted his side had simply been outclassed at Old Trafford. "I guess we can analyse the game in many ways, but the one thing we cannot deny is the performance of United," said the Brazilian. "They played a truly great game. "Conceding a goal so early made a comeback even more complicated for us. "In the first leg we played an equal match. We lost but we dominated for some periods. Today was different. "We have some problems but United is a very strong team, they can use your mistakes in the best way. They are very clinical and that is what you have to be in this competition."

MANCHESTER UNITED...the RED DEVILS march on !!!
kueytoc replied to kueytoc's topic in General Reefkeeping_
Let the MATCH do the BRAGGING !!! Ferguson lauds Rooney in 4-0 defeat of AC Milan AFP - 2 hours 58 minutes ago MANCHESTER (AFP) - – Alex Ferguson believes Wayne Rooney could match the 42 goals that Cristiano Ronaldo provided for Manchester United in 2008 after the England striker reached the 30 mark with a double in the Champions League humbling of AC Milan. Rooney, who had also scored twice in the 3-2 first leg win, laid the foundations for a 4-0 win on a night that United boss Ferguson described as one of the most satisfying of his illustrious managerial career. "When I think that we've beaten Milan 4-0 -- not many teams have ever done that, if any," the Scot declared. "It was a fantastic night." It was the first time United had eliminated their opponents for the first time in five attempts since two of European football's iconic institutions first met, 52 years ago. Ferguson added: "I said it was a landmark victory when we beat them over there. I regard Milan as a great European example for us and that makes me particularly proud that we managed to beat that great team." Rooney's early header was followed by a strike in the first minute of the second half which broke Milan's spirit and further goals from Park Ji-Sung and Darren Fletcher ensured it was an unhappy return to Old Trafford for David Beckham. "I think the second goal was decisive," Ferguson said. "We were able to relax and play good football. Milan were forced to try and attack and left themselves a little bit open. It was a difficult night for them after that." Ferguson was also delighted to have the luxury of withdrawing Rooney from the fray early, ensuring he did not aggravate a niggling knee injury that had threatened to keep him out of the tie. "Wayne's performance was just a continuation of his form of the last two or three months. It is sensational. He is unbelievable and I'm very pleased with him." Asked if he felt Rooney could match Ronaldo's haul in his penultimate season before his departure for Real Madrid, Ferguson replied: "It's a challenge. I was happy with him getting to the 30 mark, to be honest. But he just keeps getting better." Ronaldo's departure has ensured Rooney has been consistently deployed as an out-and-out centreforward this term, but Ferguson feels his improved return in terms of goals is also a reflection of the work he has done on the training ground. "The thing that has improved is his movement in the penalty box. Also, he has practised more than he's ever done and you get the rewards when you do that." Milan's hopes of overturning their first-leg deficit disappeared after Ronaldinho and Klaas Jan Huntelaar failed to take a couple of early chances that could have transformed the complexion of the tie. "You don't want to lose the first goal in a game like this," Ferguson acknowledged. "It would have encouraged Milan." With Ronaldo's Real having gone out to Lyon on Wednesday evening, United look well placed to reach the final of the tournament for a third consecutive season and Ferguson said he was relaxed about the draw for the quarter finals. "When we play at that tempo, we're very hard to beat. It doesn't matter who we play." That view was endorsed by Milan coach Leonardo, who admitted United had been simply too powerful for his injury-depleted squad. "I guess we can analyse the game in many ways, but the one thing we cannot deny is the performance of United," the Brazilian said. "They played a truly great game. "Conceding a goal so early made a comeback even more complicated for us. "In the first leg we played an equal match. We lost but we dominated for some periods. Today was different. We have some problems but United is a very strong team, they can use your mistakes in the best way. They are very clinical and that is what you have to be in this competition." -
Mark Lee to leave J Team and start his own company Xin.sg - Thursday, March 11 In the midst of Jack Neo's infidelity scandal, his longtime apprentice Mark Lee has dropped another bombshell - the famed Liang Jia Ban (or literally 'Neo Clan', referring to Jack's band of artistes) will split and he will start his own company when his contract ends. Mark and other artistes like Henry Thia, Michelle Tay, John Cheng (Ah Nan), Apple Hong, Brandon Wong, Nick Shen, Tay Ying Ying and Jeremy Chan are contracted to J Team, an artiste management and production house founded by Jack. The former four can be said to have been groomed by the film director himself. But since Jack's straying ways were exposed last Saturday by the local Chinese media and with more women coming out fast and furious, close friend Mark only had strong reactions and words on this matter. Regarding questions of whether Liang Jia Ban would survive this storm, he said frankly, "It will be all but over." Sources say that at a recent J Team meeting, Mdm Irene Kng, Jack Neo's wife, expressed her difficulty at juggling and managing her four kids and the artistes. Mark, Henry, Michelle and Ying Ying's contracts are expiring this year, Mark revealed that he would start his own Huang Production Pte Ltd next January. He said that he would not poach his fellow artistes or end his contract prematurely, because he wants to leave his longtime employers with his head held high. "I don't want to turn on my own. But if my brothers and sisters want to come over, I'm willing to 'adopt' them." The comedian-host explained that the stars are not abandoning their mentor at this time of crisis, but likened themselves to orphans who need to learn to be independent now. Upon queries, Jack's manager Tang Wing Fai confirmed that there would be a new company set up by a J Team artiste but could not confirm the status of the others like Henry, Michelle and Ying Ying.

Mayhem at Jack Neo’s press conference as Irene Kng fainted after scuffle broke out between members of J Team and journalists March 11, 2010 by admin The much anticipated “tell all†press conference by Singapore’s famous movie director PBM Jack Neo who was embroiled in a series of sex scandals lately might have been short, but it was no less dramatic as the sobbing couple was mobbed by journalists at the scene as they left the stage. A few members of the J Team Productions, Jack’s entertainment group rushed forward to push the journalists aside and a minor scuffle broke out. John Cheng (circled in red in the photo) who used to play the role of gangsters and loansharks in Jack’s films was heard shouting at the top of his voice: “GET AWAY!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! GET LOST, YOU #^@#@$*%!!!†The journalists continue to ignore him and tried to ask the couple further questions and as Jack Neo waved them away, mayhem broke out: “Please, please let us move, please…will you?†he pleaded. A member was overheard saying: “What do you want??? Can you please give them some space? You got nothing better to do is it?†As our field reporter followed the crowd from behind, somebody was heard screaming: “Madam has fainted!!! Madam has fainted!!! Please move away, all of you!!†It appeared that Jack Neo’s wife Irene Kng had fainted and was carried away by the security personnel into the waiting vehicle. The journalists continue to chase after them, refusing to let go. We had a quick chat with one of the J Team members who said that many of them were angry with the mainstream media for “distorting†the story to increase its circulation at the expense of Jack and his wife. He took issue with a Shin Min Daily report comparing the physical appearances of Irene Kng, Foyce Le Xuan and Wendy Chong a few days ago and the “lack of discretion†in reporting the lurid details of Jack’s sexual exploits. “The media should have been more objective and not give so much free publicity to these girls who are just seeking instant fame,†he said. The J team members left the scene soon afterwards as the journalists tried to interview them. During the press conference, Jack Neo revealed that this would be the “last time†he is talking to the media. According to insider information, J Team Productions may be folded up and Jack is considering leaving the local entertainment scene for the time-being to wait for the storm to blow over. The saga has gripped the attention of the entire nation as Jack Neo is a well-known comedian and public figure in Singapore. Arguably Singapore’s most successful movie director to date, he was awarded a PBM in 2004 and a Cultural Medallion in 2005.

Jack Neo has the support of his wife Xin.sg - Wednesday, March 10 The wife of disgraced filmmaker Jack Neo, 50, Mdm Irene Kng has been a sea of calm and forgiveness since news his two-year extramarital affair with a woman less than half his age surfaced over the weekend. The 46-year-old, who's been married to Neo for 27 years, has four children aged six to 19 with him. Her composed reaction shocked freelance model-actress Wendy Chong, 22, when she went to the couple's Paris Ris semi-detached home last Friday. Mdm Kng, who knew of the affair a year ago, has expressed that she had already forgiven her straying husband and will continue to support him during the scandal. She added that their family would not be affected by it. She said that she "did not care who Jack was involved with, as long as she loves him." She became aware of their affair when a family friend spotted the two together. Neo, Singapore's most commercially successful movie director and producer admitted to his infidelity a day after a Chinese evening daily broke the story last Saturday. The paper said that Chong, who has a role in Neo's film Being Human currently in cinemas, became enraged that the actor-comedian did not answer her calls last Friday. She went to his home around 3pm and waited for him to return. She told him she wanted to see his wife which he obliged by calling Mdm Kng to come downstairs, surprising Chong. The three then left to carry on the meeting at Changi Airport's Crowne Plaza hotel which allegedly lasted four hours and were subsequently joined by Chong's father and sister as well as Neo's pastor, church friend and manager. Neo's family has moved out of their Pasir Ris home temporarily to avoid media attention. He has claimed that he had been unable to end the affair with Chong because she threatened to harm herself. Chong first knew Neo when she had a small role in his Money No Enough 2. He started wooing her and a month later they had sex in his car, she revealed. During the two years they were seeing each other, she said he brought her overseas on four occasions to Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. The 1.63m tall model's father was shocked by the revelations, and was said to have momentarily thought his daughter alerted the media for fame's sake. Neo has apologized to Chong's family and sought for "a chance to live." The Cultural Medallion holder had also called his friend, Foreign Minister George Yeo, to confess his transgression. His manager Tang Wing Fai announced that Jack will meet the media "once and for all" when he has settled the matter and made peace.

2nd woman claims tryst Mar 8, 2010 By Melissa Pang HE WOOED her with the promise of grooming her into 'Fann Wong No. 2', and even booked a hotel room so they could get to know each other better. This claim was made by a second woman who has decided to speak out on Singaporean filmmaker Jack Neo, just days after a 22-year-old freelance model Wendy Chong broke the news of her two-year fling with the Cultural Medallion recipient. Lianhe Wanbao on Monday identified the latest woman as 25-year-old Foyce Le Xuan, who alleged in an interview with the Chinese evening daily that Neo had sexually harassed her when she was a member of the Liang Jia Ban (Neo's Family Group). Ms Le, described by the Chinese daily as 'sexy and beautiful' and drew comparisons with Hong Kong pop star Coco Lee, was a member of Liang Jia Ban for a year from 2004. In the interview with Wanbao, she claimed that Neo wooed her aggresively after she joined his entertainment group. Once, he allegedly told her that he had made a reservation at a hotel and was waiting for her so that they could spend 'quiet and private' time together to 'get to know each other better'. She did not show up. She also said that when she first started out at Liang Jia Ban, Neo offered to send her home as she lived in Tampines, which was near his Pasir Ris home. But these rides turned out to be more than innocent, she claimed. Shortly after, she alleged that Neo tried to hit on her. She said once in his car, Neo grabbed her hand and said, 'I want to groom you into 'Fann Wong No. 2'. I will direct a film and make you the lead actress.' 'At that time, I was only 20, just a small girl... I didn't dare to speak out... When he held my hand tight, I didn't even dare to resist,' she told Wanbao. On her decision to go public with the affair, Ms Le said: 'After reading the reports on Wendy Chong in Wanbao, I was reminded of a very unpleasant period in my life. Jack Neo's wooing methods are the same. He asks for your number, sends you an SMS, and says all sorts of sweet things to his 'prey'. She added that she 'admired Wendy Chong for standing out to reveal the truth'. This, she hoped, would prevent similar incidents from happening. Why I decided to speak to reporters Foyce Le Xuan said she decided to speak to reporters after reading reports about freelance model Wendy Chong, who acted in two of Neo's movies. He SMSed me 30 times a day ACTRESS-SINGER Foyce Le Xuan, 25, the second woman to come forward to expose film-maker Jack Neo as a love cheat, said he sent her home after every filming session during her first year with J team, Neo's management company. The attention he lavished on her upset her boyfriend and they broke up, reported The New Paper on Tuesday. He also SMSed her to ask her out, including to dinner at Good Park Hotel. She told TNP in an interview on Monday: 'He sent me an SMS every two hours every day initially, reporting things like how hot it was, where he was working. Or asking me to join him or watch him edit his shows. 'He sent up to 30 SMSes in a day. Even when we were in the same room and there were other people around, he SMSed me to tell me how sexily I was dressed that day or how beautiful I looked that day. 'He even messaged me, 'Hope that you are3 mine.'' Le admitted to TNP that she fell for the promises first. But even though she was flattered, she said some of his attention distressed her. But she maintained that she never slept with No or reciprocated his affections because he has a family, and Neo's wife, Madam Irene Kng, 46, was nice to her too.

I won't return to Jack Neo Mar 8, 2010 By Melissa Pang THE 22-year-old model who spilled her two-year affair with filmmaker Jack Neo said she won't return to him again. Wendy Chong told Shin Min Daily News: 'Disappointment and sadness have replaced my love for him. Even if there was a shot at a second chance, I wouldn't want it. Even if he wanted to return, I wouldn't accept it. 'But I know Jack. He won't turn back. He is probably feeling very remorseful and guilty about his actions.' In an interview with the Chinese evening daily, Chong also expressed guilt and regrets for alerting a reporter to the meeting with Neo and his wife last Friday at Changi Airport's Crowne Plaza Hotel, after she showed up at his Paris Ris home. 'I was a little rash and wonder if I have caused harm to innocent children. But the next day, after reading the reports, my guilt subsided. Because Jack Neo lied. He told me that besides me and his wife, there weren't any other women. 'He also swore to god countless times, that if he had other women, he would be hit by a car, and asked me to believe him.' 'But later I found out that even his wife knew that there Jack Neo had trysts with other women. Looks like I came out looking sillier in this incident.' Chong also apologised to Neo's wife, Madam Irene Kng, 46, and her four children, as well as to her own parents for causing them embarrassment. She advised other 'third-party' women to cease their affairs with married men as 'it's tough to be a mistress.' 'I shouldn't have continued affair' FREELANCE model Wendy Chong has regretted letting her affair with Jack Neo drag on for two years. She told Shin Min Daily News in an interview: 'The last two years has been tumultuous for us, ending with both of us deeply hurt and scarred. 'I feel I have grown up a lot overnight. Previously, I didn't give a damn to anything else in the pursuit of love. I just wanted to possess him, regardless of whether I was right or wrong. And I got myself into a mess. 'I now realise I was wrong and I have hurt many people. I shouldn't have gone into an affair in the first place, shouldn't have fallen in love with him. 'It's like taking drugs, you think you have control of your feelings and yourself, but in the end, I couldn't get out of the mess. I just got myself more and tangled and eventually found myself at a dead end.'
