Business Enquiries: https://www.thebluecats.com.sg/Eleanor Lee, daughter of Quan Yi Fong, was set to star in the highly anticipated Chinese drama Go To The Mountains And Sea, which is based on a popular wuxia novel and features A-list actors. The drama, slated for release on 20 May 2025, was a major project and had Eleanor proudly representing Singapore. However, controversy struck when a leaked audio clip—allegedly of Eleanor calling Chinese nationals "stupid"—surfaced on 9 May. Although she denied it was her, public backlash followed, and soon, the drama's release was delayed, and promotional materials featuring her were removed.Rumours began circulating that the production company might take drastic action by digitally replacing Eleanor using AI face-swapping technology, with reports suggesting it could cost as much as $3.6 million. This wouldn’t be the first time Chinese dramas used AI to replace actors embroiled in scandals, as a similar incident occurred in 2023. Meanwhile, in completely unrelated local news, Singapore’s National Development Minister Desmond Lee announced the launch of 1,000 BTO flats at the former Keppel Club site this October. Given its prime location near Sentosa, this BTO launch is expected to be in ultra-high demand. And on the legal front, a Singaporean Maserati driver involved in a fatal Second Link accident has been charged in Malaysia, facing up to 10 years' jail and a hefty fine.
