Local actor-host Collin Chee has apologised for revealing details of late Hong Kong actor Benz Hui’s funeral to the media.

- Lim Ruey Yan

Hui, whom fans affectionately called Foon Hei Gor (Brother Foon Hei) for his role in Hong Kong crime thriller Line Walker (2014 to 2020), died at age 76 on Oct 28 from multiple organ failure caused by cancer. A memorial service was held in Hong Kong on Nov 17, with the funeral held the next day.

His daughter Charmaine Hui wrote a post remembering him on social media on Dec 6. She expressed her gratitude to their family, friends and Hong Kong broadcaster TVB for helping them organise a solemn farewell for him.

“Thankful for most guests who respected the private, closed-door ceremony - with no recording, no filming and no sharing of any kind - it showed the genuine love and respect you had for us,” the 28-year-old wrote in English and Chinese.
