Artistes React to Death of Former TVB Executive

Michael Tao, Louisa So and Bernice Liu were filming yesterday for "Harmony, Taste & Passion" and were asked for their response to the recent news about former TVB executive Wong Ka Leung's death after committing suicide brought on by severe depression. Louisa felt that it was a great pity and so sudden, saying: "This illness is so fearsome, so painful that people choose to die. The condition is treatable though, you can go and see the doctor and take medication for it." Michael did not know Mr Wong very well, but he felt very sorry for him and hopes he will rest in peace. As he does not know much about the condition, he was not in a position to comment and as for the massive emotional ups and downs as an artiste, he says that he will release this by going to play badminton.During his lifetime, Mr Wong was at one point responsible for the planning of the Miss Hong Kong pageant for many years and when Anne Heung, Heidi Chu and Fiona Yuen heard the news, they all felt very saddened. As for Miss Hong Kong minder Rosa Chan, who worked with Mr Wong closely, she says she did see him a few months ago and although she knew he was suffering from depression, she did suggest he should try to look at things from a different perspective. When asked about the memorable times that she had spent with Mr Wong, she could not hold back the tears. Anne says that when she had some problems with her family and career, she cried for two nights and this helped her to release the tension.
