In his address to the camera, Wong said, “I want to publicly apologise to my wife for hurting her.” He added that he had confessed his mistake to her, sought forgiveness, and was grateful she had allowed him to return home. “I am thankful to my wife for accepting me once again,” he said.
Blackmail allegations
In another Facebook post earlier on Wednesday, Wong revealed that he and his family had faced blackmail attempts before the accusations were made public. He explained that they had chosen not to comply with the demands. Wong admitted that when the matter eventually surfaced, it hurt his wife again. “I was sorry for hurting my wife a second time when the accusations were made public, which made me feel pain and regret,” he wrote, noting that they had prepared for this outcome months in advance.
Police report on cyberbullying
Wong also revealed that he had lodged a police report over online harassment. He said, “I wish to inform the public that I, together with my family, have been threatened and subjected to cyberbullying on social media. False and harmful content, including my face, my family members, friends, and organisations I am involved with, as well as my phone number, have been shared without my consent.”
