This gossip is a year ago, but I suddenly remembered it after seeing Sammul in Survivor's Law 2 and thought it would be interesting to write about. When I first saw this news, my opinion was that Sammul was petty and immature for stirring up trouble with this report. Whether it be true or not, he should’ve kept it to himself and be mature enough to realize that saying it is someone from among the Six Olympics guys causes troubles for not only the so called perpetrator, but also for the innocent four others.
Looking back now, it is a year since then (two years since the comment was supposedly said as seen on Wikipedia) and Sammul has filmed/is filming many series for TVB and costarred with many members from among the Six Olympics group with series including The Price of Greed, The Academy I, Survivors Law II, On the First Beat, and The Four Constable/ The Four recently. Reports at the time were heavily concentrating on Ron or Kenneth being the culprit, but yet he has filmed with both Ron and Kenneth for respective sequels which showed recently. And he filmed with Bosco in The Price of Greed in 2006. Now, he is currently filming/almost done with The Four Constable, and it has Raymond, Ron, and Kenneth. Now, if the ‘backstabber’ is among these costars, would he really be willing to work with him again?
The chances of it being Kenneth and Lai Lok Yi are slim since they hardly had series before Sammul’s comment was said. However, out of everyone, he hasn’t worked with Lai Lok Yi again I believe. Personally, I have never thought it was Ron because I think out of the four (Ray, Ron, Bosco, and Sammul), he seems to be the most humble. As for Raymond, he gives me the image that he wants to be able to succeed on his own performance/talent. Kenneth Ma also seems very serious and doesn’t seem to talk a lot. As for Bosco, at first when I wrote this post I thought the signs sort of point to him since Sammul hasn’t filmed anything with him for a while and didn’t show up at The Price of Greed function earlier this month. However, I found out that they filmed The Price of Greed in 2006, which was after the comment was made in 2005. As for Lai Lok Yi, I didn’t think it was him either. But then lately, there is a comment I came across from a Sammul article quoting him saying “I can't complain, I must keep working. Maybe next time it is Lai Lok Yi being the main lead and I have to support him. Do I quit? If I can't take it easy, I won’t be able to do anything.” Why did he mention Lai Lok Yi? Is it because he thinks Lai Lok Yi isn’t as good as an actor as he is or is it because Lai Lok Yi was the back-talker he was talking about.
Reading the comments at AF a year ago, a lot of people thought it was between Ron and Bosco the most. What does everyone think now? So is the comment Sammul made false, or it was real but was exaggerated by the media to aim at the Six Olympic guys, or is true that one of the Six Olympic guys really did talk bad about Sammul behind his back?

hi,
guess it's his mistake to ever mention the 6 olympics stars... people have been saying that he is a trouble maker..
being his fans for years...i guess it's the way he talk...he juz could not fake...too blunt...his personalities make him very unpopular esp among TVB management staff...haizz...but guess it is not Lai...he mentioned Lai..most prob becoz Lai joined in much later...he mentioned..as a sign that he might have to bear to see upcoming stars overtaking him...in TVB series...humanly speaking, if you were in a industry for so many years..and experienced such..you feel uneasy loh...anyway, i am glad that in China, someone does appreciate his acting..that's enough..
The original article in 2005 in which Sammul said a friend has talked bad about him didn't mention anything about 6 Olympic Stars. Only a tvb member.
It was until a year later that another article come out about this and narrowed the list down to the 6 Olympics.
Netizens were actively discussing about this after the second version come out, but HK media weren't really interested. Then Apple Daily came out and point at Kenneth, but nobody believes the them.
After a while, I think : I don't really care =P
I am actually very surprise to read the latest article about Sammul and finding him to be so blunt about his career and also TVB. It surprises me because he looks like someone who would be filial and careful about his words, but I guess a person can not always be judged by his looks. I find him a bit arrogant after reading the article, but admire that he was brave and honest to talk negatively about TVB and his goals/career.
As for the gossip, it's something fun to talk about, but I hope it was made up because the group seems to be friends despite the competition with each other, which is good for the chemistry between casts when it comes to series and characters.
Sammul can afford to be blunt because he has safety-net in China, one particular big director likes to cast him. This director casted Sammul in big China production like The Last Princess and the latest one is a political drama also starring Sheren Tang, Feng Shao Feng etc. So its easy for Sammul to get jobs.
Besides there were also reports that Stephen Chan favours Sammul, besides his honeys Patrick and Amigo.
his honeys Patrick and Amigo? lol
It seems like Sammul and Leila Tong are following the same paths...not signing with TVB management, heading to mainland to film, yet still managing to film TVB series sometimes. I wonder if they influenced each other since they are, I believe, good friends.
They are smart for maintaining a good relationship with TVB though unlike Michelle Yip. Though filming in the mainland gives big money, it may not always produce the fame.
