Starting January 20, Pierre Png, a former regional actor, will be a member of Mediacorp’s GOLD 905 roster.  ,
On the night Life program, Png will be presenting alongside Mike Kasem and Vernetta Lopez! with Mike &, Vernetta, every Monday and Tuesday from 8am to 10am, as part of their day demonstrate timebelt from 6am to 10am.
Png, who has worked as a well-known professional for over 25 years, will make his first appearance as a radio DJ. He is best known for playing Phua Chu Beng in the local show Phua Chu Kang and Michael Teo in the Hollywood movie Crazy Rich Asians.
Interestingly, again in 2019, brother Phua Chu Kang professional Gurmit Singh even tried his hand at being a television DJ, joining the exact day display duo.
When asked why he wanted to take on this new endeavor, Png responded,” I’m not one to remain still and wait for things to fall on my shoulder, but this opportunity knocked on my door and my supervisors thought it’ll be nice to try something new.”
He added:  ,” Plus, I have fond memories growing up listening to the different radio stations”.
When PNG makes his Monday debut, what is PNG most anticipating? ” Learning to keep up with the Mike and Vern energy while engaging the listeners with only my voice”!
He quipped,” I think I’m going to be the decision maker if it comes down to a tie,” adding that he was told to “relax and just be myself.”
And if he were to choose what kind of music to play on-air, Png said,” I would play soundtracks from movies with famous lines from the actors mixed into the song. like Bruce Springsteen’s” The Secret Garden” in Jerry Maguire”!
The actor, who is married to former actress Andrea De Cruz, was first recognized for his talent in the critically acclaimed local film Forever Fever in 1998, where he later won the Singaporean Talent Search Fame Awards.  ,
Png, the owner of restaurant-bar, Tipsy Flamingo, at Raffles City, has since earned Best Actor accolades at the Star Awards 2014 and the Asian Television Award 2015. Additionally, he has appeared in recognizable local programs like Rouge and The Little Nyonya.  ,
But his radio debut won’t mark the end of the Mediacorp artiste’s acting career.
” Acting has always been my first love,” I said. Right now, I’m working on a production”, he said.  ,” I’m always looking for opportunities to better myself”.
