Singapore's celebrated film maker Jack Neo's affair scandal has been in the media for the past one week or so already and it didn't interest me much until I watched the press conference that was organized by his manager where Jack Neo addressed the public and sought for forgiveness from his fans and his wife, Irene Kng, came out to show her support for him, and cried inconsolably until she collapsed.
Many people thought that is was fine acting on their part deserving of an Oscar but I thought that Jack's crying at the table may be fake but his wife's was very gut wrenching. I guess only spouses who have dealt with infidelity would understand her feelings.
You know what, from what I read in Singaporean forums, people were saying that she deserves the kind of situation that she is facing now for marrying Jack Neo and for standing by him. This got me to think, should a wife, when faced with this, leave or stay? Does she forgive him to the level that she could still stay with him? Does she trust him anymore still and if there is no trust, would she be able to still think of themselves as man and wife?
Jack Neo’s abuse of power by sexually harassing the girls and promising them roles in his movies, basically a promise of fame and fortune, is inexcusable but really, it is nothing new. It has happened in Hollywood, Bollywood, Honkywood and I am sure even in Malaysia. But for these women to tell on him now, I think it’s pretty vicious as well. If they are not greedy for the fame that he has promised, Jack Neo wouldn’t be able to touch them at all.
Anyway, after all is said, I think that the press and public should just let the Neo family alone to deal with the healing process. It’s not going to be easy. May God bless them.
