Hong Kong actress Priscilla Wong is in Malaysia filming the second season of the Astro drama The Exiled 2 with her young son in tow, while her husband, actor Edwin Siu, stays in Hong Kong for a concert and a television drama, The Star reported on Monday.
The boy, nicknamed Siu Haha, is with his mother for the shoot. In September the couple took him, then one year and six months old, to Malaysia for his first overseas family trip to visit his godmother, Malaysian actress Debbie Goh.
Siu stayed behind because of a packed schedule that includes preparations for a concert in Guangzhou on 14 Nov. The Kenneth Ma, Edwin Siu and Raymond Cho: Three Men And A Show concert is set for that date.
A report by China Press, carried in the same article, said Siu has also started filming a TVB drama whose schedule keeps the cast and crew working overnight. Siu said the timetable would have left him little time with his family even if they had stayed in Hong Kong.
“Looking at the filming schedule, I knew I would be very busy during this period. If they stayed in Hong Kong, by the time I got home, my son would already be asleep. Otherwise, I would have to rush through the script before heading out again,” he said. “So I thought it would be better for them to go to Malaysia, where they have godparents, god-siblings and a group of people to look after them. They can also enjoy a nice atmosphere there.”
The production set up a mother-and-baby room on set so Wong could nurse, and Debbie Goh stayed close to help with his care on the ground, according to Dimsum Daily.
Siu said being away from his son for an extended period had been hard, and joked about the distance.
“They’ve been away for so long that my son has probably almost forgotten he has a father!” he said.
The Exiled 2 is Wong’s first filming project in Malaysia and her first drama since the 2024 TVB series Darkside Of The Moon. She took a break from acting in March 2025 to welcome her son and attended a lensing ceremony in Kuala Lumpur on 29 Sept. Hong Kong actor Lai Lok Yi and Malaysian actor Henley Hii co-star.
Wong’s shoot in Malaysia is coming to an end, and Siu expects his wife and son back in Hong Kong in about a week. He said he misses them and is waiting for the family to be reunited.
