Former HK actress Amy Yip in S'pore for Jack Neo's mass walk event

The 58-year-old is currently in Singapore on the invitation of local filmmaker Jack Neo, to be a special guest at the Lao Peng You Pa Pa Zao on Dec 15.

The volunteer initiative and mass walk event founded by Neo encourages people to come together to exercise and stay healthy, while making friends along the way.

A leading sex symbol of Hong Kong cinema in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Yip grew tired of the attention over her voluptuous figure and quit the movie industry after a few years.

She made her film debut in Who Is The Craftiest (1988) and her last film was Underground Judgement (1994).
