If TVB Truly Change Hands, Steven Ma Hopes For Good Changes.
Recently, in the past month, Steven was frequently out of town doing stage performance one after another, such as in: Australia, New York, Taiwan, and Mainland China.   Unexpectedly, during his absence from Hong Kong there were all kinds of rumors circulating, including that of Lee Shau Kee’s acquisition of TVB, and also of competition among 5 free-air TV stations.  Steven laughs and says in all his 18 years in the industry, he had never encountered so many rumors within just a month.

Yesterday, Steven was invited as an award presenter in “小手創造大紀錄頒獎禮” (Little Hands Created Big Results Awards Ceremony).  Regarding these rumors, Steven says: “For now, still uncertain, if there's really going to be a change, I hope the change will be good.  This industry feeds a lot of families.  (If this sets off a wave of poaching, will it raise self-worth?)  I am satisfied with my present income but many artistes have problems with theirs.  This kind of situation will certainly add a lot of opportunities, conversely, it will prevent layoffs.”

Regarding Stephen Chan being formally charged by ICAC, Steven says after he returned to Hong Kong he did sms him and phone him up to express his concern, therefore knows that he (Stephen) is fine, most important is for him to take care of himself.  Since this is still a sensitive period, it is not appropriate to talk too much; he will send him his blessings personally.
