Local long-time actor, Bai Yan had passed away at the age of 100.
It was disclosed that the China-born artist passed away on Monday (August 19) at 3am in the morning.
Bai Yan has acted in many local Chinese TV shows, naming a few are Son of Pulang Tekong (1985) and Pretty Faces (1991) and most famous for his portrayal of the “Tudigong”, the local deity featured in the Chinese fantasy dramas.
Bai Yan was born in Wuhan, China, in 1920. He married Ye Qing, a local actress, after meeting each other in 1944, and had three children together. Their love was ‘written in the stars’. Woefully, Ye Qing passed away in 2016 at the age of 94.
Before World War II, he came to Singapore to partake in a Chinese dance troupe. Then, in the ‘50s and ‘60s, he made his name by performing acrobatics and magic tricks.
In 1996, the actor won a well-deserved ‘Red Star Award’ Lifetime Achievement Award for his role in acting. He then continued his acting career for another 11 years.
Bai Yan is well-known as someone who is fully devoted in his career. “He does all this (performing) not because of fame or money. He is not only serious about stage, he is also someone who is not afraid to suffer or lose out,” said director Jalyn Han regarding Bai.
In May, the actor had celebrated his 100th birthday with his close friends at a Chinese restaurant, with a guest list of 100 local artists who turned up at the locale.

Fans and netizens share sorrow and grief to the passing of Bai Yan, who is a leading light in the field of the entertainment world. He will be greatly missed.

阻断措施正式结束,当局吁民众出门仍需戴口罩

我国将在今日(6月2日)起,进入解封第一阶段,尽管如此,民众出门仍需戴口罩,防护面罩并不能取代口罩。 抗疫跨部门工作小组昨日(1日)在视讯记者会上表示,我国今日开始将会开始恢复各项活动和服务,然而民众在出门之际仍需戴上口罩,不能以防护面罩取而代之。 对此,卫生部医药服务总监麦锡威副教授解释,冠状病毒是通过飞沫传播,口罩的设计能够完美覆盖面部,而防护面罩的设计与面部仍留有缝隙。 在阻断措施期间,当局会允许民众以防护面罩替代口罩是因为人流较少,然而随着阻断措施的结束,人们也开始恢复活动,接触更多的人,因此防疫措施必须更严谨。 目前除非是不适合戴口罩的特定群体如12岁以下的孩童、有健康状况、不适合长时间戴口罩的人、需要讲课的教师,以及电视主播等可以不戴口罩。 麦锡威指出,那些不适合戴口罩的民众,在穿戴防护面罩时,必须确保面罩完全覆盖面部,可以遮住额头到下巴。
