Jack Neo 梁志强 promises Foyce Le Xuan 乐轩 as Fann Wong No 2

A second woman has come forward with allegations about popular local film-maker Jack Neo (picture), claiming that she was sexually harassed by him about five years ago.

In the latest apparent revelations, Ms Foyce Le Xuan, 25, told Lianhe Wanbao on Monday that Mr Neo had wooed her aggressively and even allegedly booked a room at a hotel so they could "get to know each other better", but she did not turn up.

Ms Le told the paper she was 20 when she signed up as an artiste with Mr Neo's entertainment group in 2004. The film-maker had initially offered to give her a lift home; she lived in Tampines, he in Pasir Ris.

But soon after, she claimed, he hit on her, promising to groom her into "Fann Wong No 2". "I was just a small girl ... When he held my hand tight, I didn't even dare to resist," she told Wanbao.

He would also allegedly send her up to 30 SMSes a day and ring her up late in the night, the evening daily reported. Ms Le, whose boyfriend broke up with her because of the frequent rides she hitched with the director, said she was afraid to fall out with Mr Neo as her career was vital to her.

Ms Le said she was spurred to go public after reading about Ms Chong's story and wanted to prevent further such incidents.

Foyce Le Xuan, an actress-singer, 25, told Shin Min Daily News and The New Paper in separate interviews that Neo, a Cultural Medallion winner and father of four, pursued her passionately for a year, promising to groom her into the second Fann Wong of Singapore.

All this while while his wife was pregnant with their fourth child.

Le, who signed up as an artiste with Jack's management company, J Team, in 2004, met Neo six years ago when she won a talent competition organised by J team, beating more than 1,000 contestants. She then signed a three-year contract with J Team.

Le believes she's not the only one Neo had hit on. A model who auditioned for him later told Le that he had SMSed her to say he missed her. A member of Neo's staff also warned her not to fall into this trap after he accidentally saw an SMS from Neo to her.

He told her Neo has a history of flirting with women, including one woman staffer who later left the company. All these as reported in Straits Times.
