Yammie Lam Kit-ying (27 April 1963 – 31 October 2018),[1][2][3] also known as Yammie Nam, was a Hong Kong actress and most notable for her performances in TVB drama series The Greed of Man and Looking Back In Anger, as well as in the film series A Chinese Odyssey.
Declared bankrupt in 2006, Lam subsequently lived on government welfare of HK$3,700 per month.
In March 2013, Lam was baptised as a Catholic at St. Anne's Church in Stanley and was given the Christian name Maria.
In December 2013, Next Magazine obtained the video of an interview with Lam, in which she said that she had been raped by two Hong Kong entertainment industry "big brothers" more than two decades earlier.
[14] In January 2018, Chinese journalist Zhuo Wei [zh] uploaded what appeared to be the uncensored video of Lam's interview, which revealed the alleged rapists to be Eric Tsang and Alan Tang (deceased in 2011).
[15] A day later, the rape accusation against Eric Tsang was corroborated by Grace Han, a prominent talent agent who formerly headed the Ford Models agency in Asia.
Han further alleged that Eric Tsang was a serial sexual predator, and claimed to know of a specific incident where a group of showbiz men led by Tsang drugged seven female models in a Hong Kong karaoke bar and raped six of them, while one model escaped.
[2] In the evening of 9 November, a requiem mass was held for Lam at St. Anne's Church celebrated by Dominic Chan Chi-ming, the vicar general of the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong.
[20][21] Lam was cremated on 15 November 2018,[22] and her ashes were interred at the St. Raphael Catholic Cemetery in Cheung Sha Wan.
