[edit] 2006 Radio controversy
Sammy was reprimanded in 2006 by Commercial Radio Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Government over an online poll that was organized by his show. The poll, titled "The female artist whom you want to sexually harass most", created an enormous furore. As a result, CRHK was fined by the government for a hefty sum, and Sammy was suspended for 2 months, during which he could not take up any paid jobs but instead had to attend to classes on media ethics. His role as host on TVB's 15/16 quiz show was also revoked.
After the future, Sammy was even more popular than before because their fans appreciated what he had done to overcome the obstacles. They also played a stage show called Big Nose. They claimed that they learned a lot from mistakes they had made, and they also received a great deal of friend and family support.
