A contrite Jack Neo faced the media briefly on Thursday morning and apologised for his affairs with several young women, which have hogged the headlines for over five days after his mistress went public.

"It's all my fault," Singapore's most successful film-maker, 50, told a packed press conference held at an auditorium in Scorpio East building on Paya Lebar Road, where his production house is based.

Dressed in a black and white checked shirt, a grim-looking Neo, with his wife Irene Kng, 46, by his side, said in Mandarin: "I want to stress that all that has happened does not involve anybody else."

"I feel very fortunate that my wife has forgiven me. My wife has suffered more pain than any woman in this world. I am very sorry for what has happened," he then broke down and cried, with his head down.

When he regained his composure, he urged the media to give him "a second chance," adding: "I hope this is the last time I am speaking to the media." His wife then spoke up.

Her voice cracking, she said: "I do not know how to handle the media...I just want to say is that I have forgiven Jack. I love Jack, my marriage and my children. I have been hurt a lot. I ask the media to let us off and give us some space and your blessings."

She, too, broke down and had to be helped off the stage by friends. When her knees gave way slightly while walking away, the pack of photographers rushed forward. Neo quickly dashed to his wife's side and shouted: "Get away!"

The press conference was over in just five minutes.

    It's hard to say sorry, especially holding a press conference... but this whole thing might as well end up rhyming like One Republic's Apologize...

    SWIMMER TRAPPED BY BEACH BALLS
    A man got a nasty surprise when he tried to get out of his deckchair and found his testicles had become stuck between two slats of wood. Mario Visnjic had been swimming naked off Valalta beach in Croatia and his testicles had shrunk in the cool sea. When he sat down they slipped through the slats and then, as he lay in the sun, expanded back to normal size. He was freed after he called beach maintenance services on his mobile phone and they sent a member of staff to cut the deckchair in half.

    i don;t get it - why apologies to the public. it;s his affair, not everyone's affair. the public has no right to interfere at all

    publicity..
  • jus wondering...
    yeah, it wouldn't be a public issue if he wasn't a public figure who won pretty significant awards and produced *morally focused* movies.

    His movies have always had morality as their main themes...even extra marital affairs. Yeah, its not a public affair, it just makes him a hypocrite.
  • Superman Jack Neo

    this wouldn't have happened if people didn't start an affair in the beginning. if one is married, by all means, act like one! why go around having scandals, affairs and illicit relationships? if one is not happy with the marriage, sort the problem rather than creating more problems.
    by people, i mean both men and women.
  • iLOLatYOU
