Another Hong Kong celebrity has expressed interest in buying Singapore property just a few days after actress Carina Lau announced she is considering it as well, media reports stated.
Andy Lau (pictured), one of Hong Kong’s four ‘Heavenly Kings’, said he was thinking of purchasing a home in the city-state.
Speaking to the media ahead of the world premiere of his movie ‘Firestorm’, Lau said he only invests in property since he isn’t familiar with other types of investments.
This prompted a reporter to ask if he had thought about purchasing a property here, to which he replied that he had planned to do so. But it did not materialise due to the high property prices.
The emcee at the press conference then informed him that the government had introduced market cooling measures.
Lau then said he hoped the cooling measures will work and that property prices will drop.
He also revealed that he had been “following the property scene in Singapore” while his friends had been advising him which properties are good investments.
