26 Oct – Despite the season's change, TVB actress Tracy Chu was recently speculated to have suffered from heat stroke while filming her new series, "Harmony is a Virtue".

As reported on Tencent Entertainment, the actress, who admitted to feeling unwell during filming on 21 October, almost fainted due to physical discomfort after standing too long in the heat awaiting her turn.

Co-stars Joe Ma and Kate Tsui immediately rushed to take care of her, and escorted her to a van so that she could rest.

The producer had also ended filming earlier than scheduled to avoid the recurrence of such incident.

KFC Malaysia temporarily shutters outlets citing challenging economy
KFC Malaysia has temporarily closed outlets in the country, citing challenging economic conditions, after local media reported that the closings were because of boycotts over the fast food chain's perceived links to Israel. Malaysia, a majority-Muslim country, is a staunch supporter of the Palestinians, and some Western fast-food brands in the country, as in some other Muslim nations, have been targeted by boycott campaigns over Israel's military offensive in Gaza. QSR Brands (M) Holdings Bhd, which operates KFC and Pizza Hut franchises in Malaysia, said it temporarily closed KFC outlets "in response to challenging economic conditions".

Tottenham’s empty seats show north London balance of power has definitively shifted
A stark fatalism is descending on Tottenham as their season dissolves into familiar stage fright. Five minutes into the second half of a borderline chaotic derby, hundreds of home fans had still not returned to their seats. In fairness, when your stadium is so lavish that you can have your beer glasses filled from the bottom up on oak-and-copper concourses, there are decent excuses for being detained.
