TVB comedy actor Wong Cho Lam has dismissed rumours saying that he has been employing illegal mainland workers for the production of "Inbound Troubles 2".
Previously, a source alleged that the actor-turned-producer had hired illegal workers for the production company after the employees were heard conversing in Mandarin after leaving a meeting that was held with Wong himself.
Wong recently released a statement through his lawyer to declare the accusation as baseless and that it has damaged his reputation. He also stated that he has the rights to take legal action against those who have slandered him.
Meanwhile, in a telephone interview with On CC, Wong said that it was a grave accusation that serves to tarnish his good name as well as the reputation of his production team.
"Such accusations can lead to an investigation by the Immigration Authority," said the actor.
Wong also admitted that the issue has been bothering him the whole time, though added that he has nothing to hide and will be pursuing the matter.
When asked if he knows the person who had made theallegations, Wong replied, "I have no idea. But my guess is someone from the entertainment industry who just wants to hurt their own kind."
Wong said that it was not the first time such a thing has happened to him since he became a producer, and expressed hope that the accuser will stop disturbing his peace.
