EXPOSED: Jack Neo stood up FIRST to leave and not wife Irene Kng as he claimed during his dramatic press conference on 11 March 2010

PBM Jack Neo who received much public criticism and opprobrium lately from both the local media and online community for his 3-minute press conference on Thursday claimed that it was “aborted’ prematurely because his wife Irene Kng had stood up to leave halfway during the conference and he had no choice but to follow her.
In an interview with The New Paper, today, Jack explained that he had intended to apologize during the press conference, but was stopped by his wife who stood up to leave.

‘He knew that Ah Bu stood up because she could not take it any more. The pressure and all the camera flashes were too much for her. So when she wanted to leave, Jack had to accompany her.’”
