Hong Kong’s Jimmy Lai apologizes for Voyeuristic Photos
November 14th, 2006 by dd
Hong Kong businessman Jimmy Lai has apologized for voyeuristic photos of local pop star Gillian Chung that ran in one of his magazines, but says he won’t fire anyone despite the uproar they caused.
Lai made the apology in an interview with local broadcaster TVB. The Ming Pao Weekly magazine ran a transcript of the interview on Sunday. “I offer my apologies to people affected by this incident and even people who were concerned about it,” Lai was quoted as saying.

Twins’ Gillian Chung’s Victory Over Next Media
November 11th, 2006 by dd
A Hong Kong magazine criticized for publishing secretly-shot photographs of a semi-naked pop star has lost its appeal against a court’s findings that the article was obscene.
The Obscene Articles Tribunal supported an earlier judgment that the photographs of singer Gillian Chung — one half of the popular duo Twins — published in an August edition of Easy Finder magazine were obscene.
The poor quality pictures, taken while Chung was changing costumes backstage during a concert in Malaysia, showed her bare back and a hint of bra strap.
The article was taken to the tribunal after Hong Kong’s media watchdog received a record number of complaints about the pictures.
In last Wednesday’s appeal, a panel of one judge and four lay members (ordinary citizens) supported the judgment, describing the article as a planned act of selling sexuality which is corrupting and disgusting.
Chung has said she will sue the magazine, published by Next Media, which also publishes the city’s biggest-selling newspaper, the racy tabloid Apple Daily.
The case sparked a furious backlash from celebrities who complained that the city’s hungry press had often gone too far. They called for the government to bring in measures to control the behavior of the paparazzi, independent photographers who chase after celebrities to take unauthorized photographs to sell, and their buyers — the tabloids.
People have often complained that Hong Kong’s very competitive mass media have dug too deep into people’s personal lives while trying to get a story. [AF]
