[Ta Kung Pao & Oriental Daily]

Alex Fong was filming on location for new series "Fight for Every Moment" in Tokwawan recently when he was met with a visit from the local police and another time, he received angry words from people near a local housing estate. The scene told of Alex being attacked whilst driving and his car being covered with paint. As the location was close to the local learner driver routes and there happened to be several people taking their driving test there at the time, the filming caused an obstruction in the road for the learner drivers as some also turned back watch them filming as they drove past. Alex was asked if he was afraid of making them fail their test, but he said helplessly: "I am very regretful!" At the same time, several police officers arrived on the scene to say that some residents had called them, so they came to see what was going on. In response to troubling the police, Alex says: "I was so scared!"

On Sunday, Alex was also filming in Jordan near a residential area in a scene where his wife Jojo Cho was being imprisoned and he had to go and rescue her, so the roads were closed for filming. During this time, someome threw some used fluorescent strips at him, whilst someone called from a window: "Alex Fong, you @%$#* why don't you pack it in?!" Hearing these insults, Alex was a little unhappy as he looked up to see who it was and called at the person to come down, but he daren't. He says: "I am guessing it was a child, so I will not hold it against him, but I don't want it to happen again. (Were you being too noisy when you were filming?) We weren't filming gunshot scenes, if we were being noisy, then someone would have called the police."

Alex adds that this is the first time he has been jeered at in public in the last ten years and even the big men with tattoos in Portland Street have been friendly towards him. Some people even call him 'Brother Shun', so this makes him further believe it must have been a child. With the suggestion that the children of today are very aggressive, with a 13-year old even daring to knife their mothers at such a young age, Alex says: "This is too violent and it is not good. I hope that children will study the Buddhist scriptures and find a little harmony within their souls."

When Alex was asked whether he had been shouted at ten years ago, he says: " Of course, when I first entered the industry, not only was I sworn at by the directors, when I passed by pairs of lovers in the streets, the girls would say: 'It's Alex Fong!' whilst their boyfriends would say: 'What's so #@%&$ good about Alex Fong?'. However I understand that sometimes you should have some male pride around your girlfriend, but you shouldn't hurt others."
