All publicity is good publicity, you say? Well, not for Elvin Ng. The Ch 8 actor recently made headlines for not-so-uplifting reasons. It all started with a news report in a local paper that claimed the actor’s year-long absence on Ch 8 primetime after winning the All-Time Favourite Artiste award last year was ’cos he was kept in “cold storage”. The report, which was based on a tip-off from a netizen known only by a mysterious IG handle, had cited anonymous industry sources who claimed the reasons for that were that the 37-year-old actor was “difficult to work with” and “there was no improvement in his acting”. Thereafter, Elvin went on to refute the “cold storage” rumour on various platforms, including our cover story last week, where he had questioned “the credibility of the story”.
