Evergreen Group Holdings CEO, David Yong, is backing the return of two of Singapore filmmaker Jack Neo’s best-known movies – "Money Not Enough" and "I Not Stupid".

Details of Yong’s investment in the US$2.8-million "Money Not Enough 3", which releases during the Lunar New Year holiday period in 2024, have not been disclosed.  

The release of "I Not Stupid 3" will follow later in the year. 

Yong and Neo go way back. He was an investor in "Ah Girls Go Army Again 2", and his Chinese ballad, "My Way", was the original soundtrack for "Ah Girls Go Army". 

"Money Not Enough 3", directed and co-written by Neo, reunites Neo, Mark Lee and Henry Thia in a story anchored in issues facing Singaporeans of all ages. 

The sequel is the first film Neo has co-produced under HiJack Pictures, a venture formed in 2022 between Neo’s J Team productions and Singapore-based distributor-producer Clover Films.
