5 May – Tai Bo was recently awarded the Best Film Character by the Hong Kong Screenwriters Guild for his role as Uncle Pak in "Suk Suk".

As reported on Mingpao, the actor who accepted the award alongside the film's director and screenwriter Ray Yeung, stated that he is thankful to the guild for giving him such an honour.

"I believe that the script is the soul of the movie, and the characters are the brainchild of the screenwriter. As an actor, I am only expressing the essence of the script," he said.

Tai Bo also quoted the lyrics from Teresa Teng's song, "Gentle Breeze and Drizzle", "Tell me about the endless secret, let us seek it together."

He continued, "Ray's script and sincerity moved me the first time I heard it. I hope "Suk Suk" will be able to touch the hearts of the audience."

Candid photos of Syria's Assad expose a world beyond the carefully crafted and repressive rule
Personal photos of ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad have surfaced from his abandoned residences, sparking ridicule among Syrians who until days ago were persecuted for criticizing his carefully crafted public image. The intimate and candid photos, reportedly discovered in albums from Assad’s mansions in the hills of Damascus and Aleppo, offer a stark contrast to the polished, glamorous image that Assad and his father projected as they led Syria for half a century. Syrians have been fascinated by the background glimpses of a seemingly normal family that held the country in an iron grip and bombed some their fellow citizens regarded as a threat.

Filipino woman on Indonesia death row recalls a stunning last minute reprieve and 'miracle' transfer
Filipino death row inmate Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso knelt to pray when officers came to take her to an execution site in May 2015, just a few feet away from her isolation cell on an Indonesian prison island, where a 13-member firing squad was waiting. While she prayed, the Philippines government was wrapping up a lengthy legal battle over her fate. Veloso’s life was ultimately spared — temporarily — by Indonesia’s Attorney General's Office, which issued a stay of execution shortly before Veloso was to be executed with eight other death row inmates.
