Hong Kong actor Hugo Ng and his friends have successfully opened the fourth outlet of a coffee shop franchise in Malaysia within six months, as reported by Sin Chew Daily. The coffee shop, known as 9 Kopitiam, has also received investment from Ng’s wife, former actress Lily Chung. Recently, members of the Hong Kong All Stars Soccer Team, including actor Nat Chan, visited one of the outlets. The coffee shop has gained popularity for its affordable prices.
Ng expressed his satisfaction with the response his business has received thus far and revealed his plans to expand the brand to Hong Kong in the near future. He also mentioned that the coffee shop is a sponsor for the upcoming Bromance Live Concert, featuring artists such as Ron Ng, Michael Tse, Julian Cheung, Edmond Leung, and Jerry Lamb. The concert is scheduled to take place at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium on September 9.
Meanwhile, in Taiyuan city, Shanxi province, a man faced a peculiar predicament when his penis became stuck in a mineral water bottle. According to China Press, the man endured several hours of pain before firemen were able to free him without causing any harm. The incident occurred on July 18 and the man initially sought help from a passer-by, who promptly alerted the authorities. Paramedics were unable to resolve the issue, leading the firemen to step in. Finally, they used a saw to cut the bottle and release the man from his suffering and humiliation.
Social media users quickly seized the opportunity to make light of the situation, with some asking how such a mishap could occur. Others were crueler, leaving comments like, “So embarrassing, go dig a hole and bury yourself!”
