Samantha Ko Wants Kenneth Ma to Play Matchmaker

Ushering in the ‘huat’ with their festive lunar new year film Queen of Mahjong <麻雀女王追男仔>, leading cast Kenneth Ma (马国明) and Samantha Ko (高海宁) shared updates on their wishes for the new year!

Samantha Wants Kenneth to Vet Her Romantic Partner

Sharing the same zodiac as they were both born in the year of tiger, both actors wished for the health and safety of their family and close ones. While Samantha hopes for success in career and wealth luck, the 38-year-old wouldn’t mind a stroke of romance in the snake year as well, and jokingly expressed that she would pin her hopes on Kenneth to be her matchmaker!

“I really just go with the flow when it comes to relationships, but if I do meet someone promising, the first thing I’d do is bring him to Kenneth Ma for his opinion! I’d go over to his place and have hotpot with him and Roxanne Tong first. If Kenneth thinks he’s a good guy, then he can’t be that bad!”

Kenneth’s Mother is the Real ‘Mahjong Queen’

Spilling the beans on her co-star, Samantha revealed that Kenneth is not only a loving husband but also inherited his family’s strong values. “Just like my mom—after she got married, she never had to work again because my dad took ‘care of everything,” shared Kenneth. Samantha then revealed the couple’s loving antics when the lot of them were filming in Shenzhen, such as how Roxanne would text her to remind Kenneth to eat, especially if she thinks he has lost weight. Kenneth shared, “I actually eat a lot, but if I don’t get enough sleep, I lose weight fast. One time, she even ordered two claypot rice meals to my hotel room, and I finished both!”

When it comes to lunar new year traditions, Kenneth revealed that playing mahjong is a must-do in the Ma household, as his mother feels it makes the house more lively. When asked if he plays too, he laughed, “Yes, but I mostly lose. My mom is really good—she’s both lucky and also skilled,”

And what about Roxanne Tong’s mahjong skills? “She’s played with my mom before, and my mom approves. ‘Good at mahjong, good as a person’ are her comments!”
