SINGAPORE – Malaysian actor Jack Lim has alleged that there is a social media smear campaign being waged against his Chinese New Year comedy film Liang Po Po Vs Ah Beng.
Singaporean film-maker Jack Neo and Lim play the titular characters respectively.
In an Instagram reel posted on Feb 25, Lim, 51, says: “I usually choose to ignore these haters, but this time, I want to show everyone their true colours.”
On Feb 24, a Malaysian Facebook user posted screenshots of the seat maps showing low sales at a cinema at MyTown Shopping Centre in Kuala Lumpur.
The user commented: “Every screening is completely empty – no one is buying tickets. I’m scared of ghosts, it’s scary to watch alone. Better not watch.”
The user inserted the hashtag “#dominating – ghosts watching?”, a veiled reference to the film’s reportedly healthy box-office numbers.
