- Lee Lung-kei’s fiancée, Wang Qingxia, charged with seeking employment during period of overstay in Hong Kong, in addition to her earlier six counts
- Wang has been denied bail after first being detained by Immigration Department in February
The fiancée of former TVB actor and singer Lee Lung-kei has been hit with an extra charge related to her overstay in Hong Kong, bringing the total count against her to seven.
The Sha Tin Court heard on Tuesday that Wang Qingxia, 36, would face an additional charge of seeking employment during the period.
Acting Principal Magistrate Amy Chan Wai-mun adjourned the case until May 28 after counsel representing Wang cited the need for more time to prepare necessary documents.
Wang already faces two counts of breaching her conditions of stay, one count each of possessing and using a false instrument, one count of making false statements to obtain her entry permit and one count of making a false declaration to officers.
Wang was detained by the Immigration Department in February and was denied bail.
Lee, 73, arrived at court on Tuesday morning in a purple shirt and said he slept for only two hours before Wang’s hearing.
“I wore brightly coloured clothes hoping she would spot me in the audience. She needs support. I am her biggest supporter,” he told the press.
