Last night, ATV held the final for Mr. Asia Contest 2012. However, Jason Dung (#2) suddenly announced on Weibo that he's withdrawing from the contest and accused ATV for treating them like they aren't even animals, "I cannot accept the inhumane treatment. We have to wear swimsuits and walk around the streets like a parade, everyone were looking and laughing at us like a joke... each day I have to wake up earlier than chickens, and sleep earlier than dogs... I am a human being, not an animal, don't treat me like this!" Yesterday Jason accepted an interview over the phone and expressed he no longer wants to be in the contest: "There isn't much sincerity anyway. (Dissatisfied?) Yeah, I felt like I failed the final effort in the contest and I'm physically exhausted. I'm afraid I may faint when I get on stage." He expressed ATV accepted his withdrawal and he didn't have to compensate anything.

However, ATV executive Yip Ka Bo expressed Jason Dung withdrew because he was running a high fever: "He felt it was a pity too. He participated in the rehearsal, but he fell ill. (Did he provide a doctor's note?) Yes! His fever went up to 100 something degrees!"
