Anothony told Mingpao that the dinner was arranged by Francis’ wife, Singaporean former actress Ong Lay Pheng, and the last time they met up was four years ago.

"We kept asking Ming Sir out, but in recent years he doesn't want to go out. … There’s a lot of food he can’t eat, and he isn’t allowed to have alcohol, but he was very happy that night and had a couple of sips,” said Anthony.

When contacted by the media, Ming Sir shared more about his health, saying he had to undergo surgery and was hospitalised for a period.

He has since recuperated, though he has many illnesses and needs a wheelchair to get around.

While his whole body “full of pain”, he is thankful that his brain is alert.

“I use my brain too much!" he quipped.
