FANN Wong is happy to work with homegrown director Jack Neo.

In the latter's new $1.2 million Chinese New Year movie Ah Long Pte Ltd, she plays a tough big sister who tries to restructure a loanshark business.

Fann says only Neo is brave enough to offer her roles that subvert popular public perceptions of her.

Co-star Mark Lee plays an effeminate dance instructor, a change from his usual portrayals of ah beng types.

The movie will open in Singapore and Malaysia during the Chinese New Year.
