Singaporean Stars Feel the Wuhan Bite—Yet Keep Strumming Their Cameras
While the heart of the outbreak beats in China, our little island city isn’t humming far from the tremors. The news of the Wuhan virus is spreading, and our local celebs are feeling the chill—literally.
Tay Ping Hui: “All Quick‑Do’s Got a Whole Crowd!”
- Veteran actor Tay Ping Hui (49) ventured to China in 2018 to chase bigger stardom. He’s now back, preparing a film that’s exclusively shoot‑in Singapore.
- Because the crew is big—20 to 30 people—the excitement turns into a “nervous buzz.” The actor’s said: “I’m blaming the extra squad for their road‑tripping trepidation.
- He’s going with a surgical mask kit for every mum‑and‑pop on set. “You never know if you’ll need to do the whole ninety‑one!”
- Even though the city itself hasn’t hit the outbreak’s peak, the actor names the virus in a way that sends out a clear message: “It’s more contagious than the infamous SARS. You can catch it in the sunshine of the lockdown symbol.”
Other Local Stars Scramb‑Ling Between China & Singapore
- Apparently, the love couple Joanne Peh & Qi Yuwu could not stay away from what? Guangzhou! The 36‑year‑old decided to stay with her children to handle some personal stuff, “because Yuwu’s hometown is where the home-grown Chinese New Year jingle hurts.”
- While they’re there, masks were hard to get. But a fan in Shanghai came to the rescue! He shipped mask‑pockets and a personal tie‑for‑safety. “We ripped adult masks in half to fit the kids in the front row,” Joanne chuckled. “It’s not exactly a teddy bear, but it works for now.”
- Yuwu had to call it a ‘self‑quarantine’. A cool 14‑day stay‑away helps keep the crew safe. He sings out the disappointment that his drama’s production has to say “oh‑man” to re‑schedule.
It’s All About the “A Whole Lot”: Things, Res.
His project is gaining a breath of calm. When the world starts circling back to its “mild” approach, the Hollywood‑like production can tick over to normal. Meanwhile, all the out‑of‑the‑box wonders of the new virus are in a combo of “more potency” and “more behind the behind‑the‑nose” contagion verses.
So grab your latest supply kit, sip on your favorite tea—your [labels] clip-ups remain a living change for the drama producers. Wolves remain an awesome lighter way that creates a world of vibes for a generation or two better. Make it better, stay safe, and let’s walk the safe runway with our folks.
