Jeff Ng Holding Music Showcase At GV VivoCity On 9 Sep
Second chances can be very difficult to come by. Well, not for Jeff Ng, apparently.
After his meteoric rise to fame as the ‘Cathay busker’, who drew massive crowds to his outdoor performances outside the building, he fell from grace thanks to unflattering claims about his character.
The controversies drove the singer to lie low for a while, but he’s been slowly making his comeback.
Recently, cinema chain Golden Village (GV) announced that Jeff will be holding a music showcase next month.

However, a lot of the comments also roast Jeff, making jokes about how he might expect the audience to keep quiet while he sings.

These allude to how he would allegedly tell bar patrons not to make noise during his sets. A recording of an old live stream also shows him telling viewers not to chat during the session.
One user quipped that the audience must be reminded to applaud or Jeff would “get angry and scold them”.

This refers to allegations that Jeff would express his unhappiness whenever audiences did not clap for him.
Despite these remarks, it’s clear that there’s still enough love for Jeff to fill a large cinema hall.
A chance to fully redeem himself
No matter what your opinion of Jeff is, this is proof that someone can bounce back from such infamy — as long as they accept responsibility for their mistakes, apologise, and change.
Hopefully, he really has learned his lesson and changed, and is a much more pleasant person to be around and work with.
If you got tickets to his performance, we hope you have a wonderful time there.
