SINGAPORE : Actress Fann Wong has come forward to clarify her decision not to attend the wake of her fiancee’s father.
The MediaCorp artiste explained that despite a tight schedule, the production team had agreed to push back filming for a day, so she could attend the wake in Malacca.
But her fiance – actor Christopher Lee – and her mother persuaded her not to go, as they were concerned about her safety.
They felt it would be dangerous for her to drive up alone at night, and to rush back to work early the next morning.
Fann said: “Of course I am very, very upset I cannot make it to Chris’ father’s wake. But I am sure I will go back to Malacca to pay him my respects when I finish all my work. And I am very grateful to all those people… who (have) help(ed) me through this period.” – CNA/ms
