LOST 1950s and 1960s classics from a legendary Hong Kong film studio founded by two Singaporean brothers are making a rare comeback at the National Museum of Singapore.
The Story of Kong Ngee retrospective aims to shed light on the now-defunct film studio as well as its founders Ho Khee-yong and Ho Khee-siang, whose success is often overshadowed by that of Run Run Shaw of Shaw Organisation and Loke Wan Tho of Cathay Organisation.
