SINGAPORE – Local broadcaster Mediacorp apologized after three of its artists, Jeffrey Xu, Shane Pow and Terence Cao, were caught in what appeared to be a violation of Covid-19 regulations.
A Shin Min Daily News reader informed the Chinese-language publication on Wednesday (December 23) that Xu, who celebrated his 32nd birthday on October 3, had posted an Instagram story of a large reunion. Among the attendees were other celebrities like Jeremy Chan and Julie Tan, who are not managed by Mediacorp.
The image, reportedly uploaded on October 3, showed 13 people in a photograph in what appears to be someone’s residence, with Xu holding a cake. Nobody wore a mask.
Mediacorp said in a statement to Shin Min that it has consulted with the three stars under its direction – Xu, Cao, and Pow – and confirmed that they were at the meeting, which took place in October. He said the three “deeply regret” their actions and apologize for their mistakes.
In an updated statement to The Straits Times, Mediacorp said that 987FM DJ Sonia Chew was also at the meeting.
The broadcaster added that it takes safe distancing and Covid-19 regulations seriously and reminded its artists that they must follow such rules in both their professional and personal capacities.
Current Covid-19 regulations stipulate that social gatherings should be limited to groups of five outside the home and that households can receive up to five visitors at a time.
