Whether I still will watch is movie in future is depend on whether his movies are really worth watching or not. To me, his personal matters would not affect my decision on choosing his movie. In actual fact, it should not affect our decision too. Yes. I understand that some people have some feeling that such a famous and Singapore celebrity icon should not do such indecent acts etc. Think about it. This is his personal matters. Probably he must have done wrong. That is his wife and family to decide. Not for us to gossip and talked as a coffee shop topic. Give him a break.
And as for his (Jack Neo's) wife's reaction, I personally admire her cool and mature behavior. I think she must have very high EQ (emotional quotient). Probably other people might think that the reason she still stick around with Jack Neo is that she could not survive without him. For me, I think that it is otherwise. She could be the reason why Jack Neo's is so famous today. What I want to tell others is that give him a break. Just focus on your own personal issues and mind your own business. I wish Jack Neo a come back and successful career in his life. I also hope that he learnt what he has done wrong and will amend it. And I think he has done the right decision to keep his current family intact.
On the other hand, I condemn his mistress's action. Although Jack Neo also has to be blamed, apparently what the mistress is to get the publicity and attention. We should condemn such a decadence behavior. Such as shame to that mistress! She even dares to tell the press on how she had affair (in details) with Jack Neo too. I am not a Jack Neo's fan but I think his movies are entertaining and alright to watch.
So as long as Jack Neo's keep his creativity and keeps his quality control in movie shooting, I will still watch his movies. On the other hand, I will not go look for and watch his movies purposely just because of this incident. What I mean is he should not deserve any fame or good publicity because of his indecent acts.

Movies have nothing to so with the producer private life. I will still watch movies produced by him.
What Jack did was wrong but can any men resist having an affair if there's an opportunity?
So many husbands are having affairs with another woman behind their wife's back. But if husband still loves their wife and also their affairs did not cross the border, I guess this kind of happenings cannot be avoided. It takes 2 hands to clap.
I admire Mrs. Neo for having such an understanding character and very firm in saying "I chose to close my eyes about it." She did not create any unpleasant scenes when speaking to the mistress. She is strong and able to face the affair so calmly. How many wife can gracefully accept such behaviour of their husbands? I think Jack Neo is very lucky to have such a life companion beside him going through thick and thin. Thumb's up to Mrs. Neo.
Mistress should know what's the man's status from day 1 they started the relationship. Why until now than she decides to blow this matter up? If you can accept yourself as a mistress, than mistress should be able to understand that you will not be the only one.
Jack is wrong to keep a mistress but than I gather the mistress he kept was just too young to know what is takes to be a mistress... I would say this is not a mistress affair but a fling or swing.
Anyway, whether is affair or swing, I think there's no right or wrong answer to this. It's a willing seller and willing buyer agreement. It's hurting to he's family when this is being exposed to the public and apologizes for a rush decision cannot turn back anything now.

What some Netizens said is really true. I hope the mistresses should get it right into their mind. He is a family man and better still a high profiler n who is also famous. Men lyk this will never give up their family no matter how many hot mistress they have. By now the girls should know...who is there for him now. If they truely loved him(as what they claimed) then they would not have called for the media and get the man they love....embarrassed and hurt. Its not necessary for the world to know what type of person Jack is.....having affair is an open secret which everybody knows and its happening in many people's life.
As some said this is NOT HOLLYWOOD! So gals get a lyf n move on. 1st of all when Wendy knew the unexpected reaction from Mrs Jack Neo...she should not have called the press...now these all have become an unnecessary attention. Media is always hungry for good-old-news...i hope she goes under the blanket and not expose more and degrade her own dignity. She giving sex details were unnecessary as the situation at Jack Neo's household is not in chaos as she expected but the wife, especially, taking the matter very calmly. Its going to mar Wendy's reputation among her friends and not for him if she is going to feed the media more saucy info or any other gals who are thinking of this idea.

Why not? as long is a good movie i will still support.
Common sence tell us that having an affair with a married person will have no good ending. If my age is at about 20s, do you think i will go with an old folk that already can be my father? answer of cos is no. No matter how that person persuade you unless you have a motive..
As we know from the paper that Ms Chong is not a teenage and is matured enough to know what is right and wrong, and should knows having an affair with an married-elderly-man with 4 kids will have no good ending. I think her motive is to create news or in the hope that she might get paid off by Jack Neo, or somebody might pay her for the rights to this 'exclusive' story. Ms Chong really hoping to gain from this affair/exposure.
After all it takes two hands to clap. Ms Chong should hold the responsibility also not only Jack Neo.

I was an avid fan of Jack Neo's local movies. In fact, I just watched his latest film "Being Human" before the news broke about the affair. It was a nice movie and I was touched eventhough Im not chinese and I was rushing to read the English subtitles. What surprised me is that why must the confession and the meeting be all 'filmed' for all the world to know that JACK NEO is having an affair. Honestly, I was really disappointed on him. And how I wish this is all a publicity stunt for his movie coz maybe he was scared it wont earn much as what he expected. Life is too hard. There is no need to go until like this. Think of the consequence it may bring to the children and avid viewers or patrons. This is not a joke when its making headlines in the newspaper and internet. First, nobody ask Jack to admit if he is having an affair in the first place. But in the news, Jack admits that he is having an affair from the confrontment in his house to the dinner meeting in Crowns. Second, if the wife needs to isolate the confrontation from the children then why there are reporters who got a hint of it. And make it a headline in the newspaper for Singapore to know except for his children.? We are not stupid nor were born yesterday. If you want to choose a 'topic' for publicity stunt then at least dont choose this kind where it is very disgusting to accept that you are very desperate. You were promoting good values in all your movies but you do the opposite in the real life. You must find out why there are few seats taken on ur movie on a Saturday. Maybe the poster is not appealing to the eyes of the people. Honestly, at first I thought it was just a commercial of some avalone products. Last time it was a scam on the health supplement on money not enough 1. Then now scam on slimming products in being human. There is no more originality anymore and people might find it boring. Remember, people/viewers are the greatest advertisers. Hope you wont make this kind of foolishness again Jack! Its really humiliating. All those golf player and football player playboy image are enough for a non-ending news about adultery.

Yes I will if is a good one. Frankly I did not see all his productions in the cinema, more on vcd.
His private life nothing to do with his work. His affair been exposed just because he is a celebrity . Let me tell you. There are many married men and women out there are having ex-marital affair but never surface because they are not celebrity. They know the Rule- Of -Game too. Lets not criticise Jack or Wendy and give credit to Mrs Neo. All the three parties have faults at their on way and neglect their duty.
The third party of a man will not go to the woman house and tell the husband about their affair. That is Why women ex-marital affair never expose not in the data. When women as third party, things turn sour, the women will go to house to expose the affair to the wife. That is why men ex-marital affair always in the data. Now, Jack at his age is normal to have an affair in his status. You feel great and young, something missing like 30 yrs back when he first met his wife. Mrs. Neo not just taking care of the family, butter and bread those are not enough. How about Jack needs and emotion. Jack still have the power. Off course when Jack and Wendy were together they feel like young couple. They were lost in the new world .
Knowing the Rule of the Game must keep in your mind. You have the money why keep a woman to gave you trouble and damaged your family.

I suspect this is not the first time Jack Neo is having an affair otherwise how can his wife handle the situation so calmly guess this is not the first time she is involve in such discussion with the third party in her presence.
Whatever that happens should not affect the box office of the movie i supposed afterall the movie has nothing got to do with Jack Neo's extra marital affair.....
Since Mrs Neo has forgiven the husband, i hereby wish them everlasting love from now on if possible... and the poor girl (Wendy Chong) i am sure when she has decided to let the public know about her affair with Jack Neo she should have anticipated all these to happen its just how bad it may turn out to be.
Wendy you are still young after sometime people will slowly forget about it. No one is perfect and all of us do make mistake as long as you learn from it.

I can only say Jack's wife is a high EQ person by answering in that way, i think the mistress also did not expect the answer to be so and don'tt know how to continue from there. But I still think she is very hurt by her husband's doing. That mistress is a little stupid, how can she like tell the whole wide world that she had an affair with Jack and what worsen the situation is she went into details about where they had sex at. What does she wants exactly? And Jack and his wife is a bit crazy too how could they like have that so called discussion between wife n mistress in front of the kids and maid? Can u imagine how hurt the kids would be?
Though I would still go to Jack movie as it would still be the effort of the other actors like mark lee etc. So it would only be fair if we were to separate emotions and business. But I will look down on Jack Neo definitely. Furthermore, I think he owe his wife a big one through her answer to that Pig mistress( who is not even pretty at all), otherwise he cant even step down from the ugly truth. Such a disgrace!

Jack has done Singapore proud in the movie industry and it is disappointing to know of his affairs.
He is responsible enough to admit and apologise over the whole incident.
The wife is really really supportive and wise to cope with the media, i believed she must be very hurt.
Jack will really need to make up for the family and I believed he will since he is willing to admit to the whole incident and end the relationship with Wendy.
As for Wendy Chong, i feel that she is really immature to expose the whole incident.
Cos the great loss is at her end. The whole matter could easily be resolved behind doors between the two families.
Life can still go on well for Jack as a successful man who flirts abit like Tiger Woods and Life will good for Jack if he gains back family support and who cares what the rest of the world thinks so long as the family is with him. This trial may strengthen the family bond and Jack may appreciate this family ties even more.
But for Wendy, she will suffer more losses as a woman. Let's just hope that the society give her a chance too.
Whether anot to see Jack's movie depends depend on the film genre, if it is a good movie and to my liking, yes. it will be as normal.
Who knows whether all the big directors of famous movies have affairs outside or not, well human are not perfect, we are just watching or appreciating their work piece, not supporting their morale values if it is wrong.
