Tang Ping Man feels healthy at 82

12 Apr - Veteran actor Tam Ping Man, who has been discharged from the hospital, recently assured that he has no major health problems.

As reported on Mingpao, the 82-year-old, who appeared at a radio show to talk about his condition, shared that his recent hospitalisation was different from the past.

Back in 2002, Tam had to undergo cardiac bypass surgery after he was diagnosed with a heart problem in Singapore. However, his recent trip to the doctor was just for asthma.

"I was having a cold and the doctor said that the flu virus has worsened my asthma. So he asked me to stay in the hospital so he could take a blood test. I had to wear an oxygen mask to help ease my breathing when asleep. That's when my daughter took a photo of me and posted it online. It looked more serious than it actually was," he said.

But despite his age and previous health scare, Tam shared that he has no intention to retire from acting, adding that he is so used to working, that staying home would be boring for him.
