Raymond Lam's father still disapproves of Karena

28 May – Although Raymond Lam has dismissed rumours of a rift between his father and young girlfriend Karena Ng, new rumours emerged that the actor's father is still against their relationship.

As reported on Asianpopnews, the actor and his teenage girlfriend recently attended his younger brother's graduation ceremony in the United States.

Karena, who used the chance to please the actor's parents, reportedly succeeded in winning Mrs. Lam's favour, but was unable to change his father's mind. He reportedly maintained his distance from Karena and even refused to take photographs with the actress when approached.

A source alleged that Raymond's father, Lam Kwok-Wah, is a businessman who is used to dealing with flattery, and as a result, was unmoved by Karena's charm. Earlier tabloid reports also claimed that the businessman disapproves of his son splurging millions on Karena Ng – reportedly spending more than HKD 10 million on the actress on a luxurious apartment, branded bags and overseas holidays, even though they had only been dating for six months.

The source stated, "Mr. Lam said that Karena is not a simple girl but he refrained himself from expressing his opinions to avoid from hurting Raymond."

Meanwhile, when asked if she got along with Raymond's parents at the graduation ceremony, Karena enthusiastically answered, "They are very nice!"

Denying that she had been spending her boyfriend's money, Karena said, "I have been working very hard and nobody notices it. I can't control what others say."
