When the tree falls all the monkeys will scatter

Singapore funnyman Mark Lee intends to set up his own production company, Huang Production Pte Ltd, in January next year after his contract with disgraced director Jack Neo's firm, J Team Productions, expires at the end of 2010

Lee's revelation comes amidst rumours that J Team Productions may dissolve after company founder Neo's affair with 22 year old model Wendy Chong was exposed. J Team exists only in name after the incident.

Lee pointed out that it was not the artistes who were abandoning Neo, but the other way round. Like abandoned orphans, they were told to fend for themselves once their contract expires, hence his decision to start his own firm. He will not be terminating his contract early but prefers to leave gracefully when it expires. He added that he will not poach talents from J Team Productions as well.

Maybe Mark has been waiting for this excuse for very long liao.
