"Land of Wealth" Stars Hand out Cake to Diners

TVB Series "Land of Wealth" will be airing its final episode on Saturday and a group of cast members including Moses Chan, Steven Ma and Tavia Yeung took part in a promotional event yesterday in a Tseung Kwan O restaurant, attracting the attentions of many diners, whom they handed out snacks to. In a frenzied atmosphere, Moses seemed to be the most popular, as the public asked to shake his hand and a granny even went to have her photo take with his hand on her shoulder. Tavia was protected by a female security officer throughout the event to avoid a repeat of the Ella Koon incident.

After the event, the artistes stayed in the restaurant for lunch, but as there were no private rooms free, they were subjected to stares and comments from the public. Moses smiles that he is used to this and often hears people telling him how handsome he is. Asked if he has been touched by over-zealous fans, he says he has never experienced this, but when he was in Australia, a preacher was speaking to him on the bus about religion and then started stroking his thigh. Moses was so shocked that he immediately froze and then pushed his hand away before getting off the bus before it had reached his stop. He says that the worst incident was when he was a model, he had his underpants stolen when he was in a gym and had to leave with just his trousers on. He laughs: "A friend of mine has had an even worse experience, when he returned to the locker after having a shower, there was a rose left there for him!"

Tavia indicates that she was very shocked to hear about Ella's incident and feels lucky that her fans are all very good and have never overstepped the boundaries. She says: "My fans just ask me to shake their hand and once in China, I had my hands in my pockets and they pulled them out to shake them, but they did not do it with malice." However, she says that Ella's incident has warned her to make sure she has underclothes and to be careful about the people around you.

There have been internet reports that Bosco Wong was spotted taking advantage of Fala Chan in a recent episode of "King of Games" where he was touching and stroking her hand. Afterwards, he had explained that they had touched a little as part of the game and Tavia supports him, saying: "He does it to men and women, young and old and he is just being playful, so I would not say he is taking advantage of her. However, when I go to work later, I will warn him and teach him to put his hands in front and not let them wander." Asked if she was teaching him on behalf of his rumoured girlfriend Myolie Wu, Tavia laughs: "Yes, yes..." before correcting her and saying: "I am teaching him on behalf of his manager Tina, they have the same manager so they are like brother and sister. I won't say any more because the more I say the worse it sounds." Tavia then changes the subject and says: "He has a dog, so he is used to the gesture. Fala is not an easy person, so she would say something if she was unhappy."

Talking of the anniversary awards, Tavia says that she thinks Myolie will win because although her show has not yet aired, there is already some hype about it. However, she will not put herself down and she will still support her own work. She says: "I will not wish too hard for an award, as there are plenty of people who are better than me, so I will just go with a peaceful heart. If I do win, I will be very surprised and happy, so happy I would go mad!" As for the male artiste award, she thinks Moses will win.
