Earlier this week, Mediacorp stars Chew Chor Meng, 53, and Aileen Tan, 55, took to social media to share pictures of a recent meetup with Hong Kong actress Kitty Lai (黎美嫻), 55.

Kitty, who made her showbiz debut in the '80s, is best known for acting in 1986 TVB drama New Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre opposite Tony Leung, whom she also dated.

Chor Meng and Kitty starred opposite each other in the legal-themed telemovie.

Ardent fans of local productions might also remember her from the 1994 Mediacorp telemovie, Challenge of Truth, where she acted alongside Chor Meng, Bernard Tan, Chen Hanwei and Peter Yu.

According to Chor Meng’s IG caption, Aileen arranged for the meetup between the actor and Kitty, with the trio catching up over mookata at one of Chor Meng’s 888 Mookata outlets.

“28 years ago, Hong Kong artistes Kitty Lai and I worked together on the telemovie Challenge of Truth. On Wednesday, thanks to Aileen’s co-ordination, us old friends finally had the chance to meet up, [I’m] grateful,” Chor Meng wrote.

Local Chinese media outlet Lianhe Zaobao contacted Aileen, who shared more about the meetup.

Although Aileen and Kitty has never worked together on-screen, they were introduced to each other by late Hong Kong actress, Jacqueline Law.

Jacqueline, who passed away in Singapore in 2012 after battling pancreatic cancer, was married to Singaporean businessman Liu Chee Ming.

According to Aileen, before the pandemic struck, Kitty would visit her friends in Singapore almost every year. And this trip was no different. 

However, as Kitty hasn't been in the spotlight for many years, she did not feel comfortable speaking to the media.

Apart from that, Aileen also shared that Kitty, who is a devout Christian, started volunteering for a Christian ministry after retiring from showbiz in 2005.
