The media quoted Tsang as being there for caviar tasting when an acquaintance brought a few friends over.
They asked if he could join in singing a birthday song for Lai, their friend, which Tsang obliged.
I feel like the birthday kiss was just a slight touch. This is common courtesy. We’ve done the same wishes for friends’ birthdays! Also, we have a habit of not posting it on Facebook. I really don’t think it’s such a big deal.
