Actresses Xiang Yun and Hong Huifang initially against their children joining showbusiness: ‘This industry can be tough’

Hong Huifang, 63, Xiang Yun, 62, and Aileen Tan, 57, were friends on the latest season of Dishing With Chris Lee.

The group chatted up a wind, almost needing any prompting from network Christopher Lee as they looked up on their jobs, the iconic functions they’ve played, and their families.

Christopher said:” I think they’re in very good places nowadays. Moreover, I’m really happy that their kids have grown up, with ]some ] of them entering showbiz as well”.

Have you two had a discussion about it? When they claimed they wanted to work in the show business, did you try to prevent them? Or” Were you supportive best away”? he wondered.

” We were opposed to it earlier because we are aware how difficult it can be.” Perhaps they were gently influenced]by us ] over time. But when they decided to join this business, we were very shocked”, said Xiang Yun, while Huifang nodded in agreement.

Chen Xi, 33, the son of Xiang Yun, started a dozen acting roles before moving to London last year to pursue his research. Her girl, Chen Yixin, 24, has also ventured into modelling and acting.

Huifang’s child Tay Ying, 28, is an artist with Mediacorp, while her brother Calvert, 24, is a performer and songs manufacturer.

Xiang Yun continued:” Take my son, for instance. He graduated from university, so he should have pursued everything related to his research. However, he claimed he wanted to test acting. Then he’s studying art management abroad, but he still loves acting! I just made a trip to England, and he told me:’ Really acting is truly fun’. I had a lot of reservations about it.

Chris therefore paid Yixin a gift, saying he likes how “alternative” she is.

” She’s very pretty, and very avant-garde. She’s very popular. She looks actually good in all her newspaper buds”, he said.

Yixin “really needs the grace and support of the elders,” he said in a congratulatory note to Xiang Yun.

” She’s engaged in hollywood, but I’ve never set any specific targets for her. I just want her to become happy”, she added.

Her sons had trouble talking, so this Singaporean mum started a special needs centre to help them

SMALL Groups, IMMERSIVE Training

Sunico-Chin recalls how typical preschool teachers might struggle to accommodate special needs children because they” they just have too much on their plate,” even though it’s” not their fault.”

So she made a decision to retain the small school size, with one teacher for every two to four children.

However, maintaining such strict standards also means being upfront about the fees involved, she acknowledged. According to suggestive prices listed on their website, half-day initiatives start from S$ 2, 450 per month, while full-day initiatives start from S$ 4, 155.

When the center was being established, it was also” difficult” to list the solutions they would offer, the frequency they would be offered, and how intellectual knowledge would be incorporated into the daily lessons. They finally settled on their existing curriculum, which includes weekly occupational therapy and speech and language therapy. &nbsp,

Teachers, however, incorporate therapy techniques into the normal curriculum and meet with the therapists frequently to discuss the progress of the children, allowing them to react fast to noticeable behavioral changes, such as if a child exhibits a sudden aversion to toilet training.

Having treatment and training co-exist in the same area “makes a distinction”, Sunico-Chin realised. You’re hoping a child will generalize when they return home, which some kids can, but my kids ca n’t. It definitely needs them to become very immersive”.

Commentary: Looks like Singapore’s tough stance on Airbnb-style short stays is justified

MORE Places TIGHTENING SHORT-TERM STAY Regulations

Some cities in Europe and America are retaliating against Airbnb and other similar services.

When the town began imposing requirements for visitors to be registered and have at least 30 day rental times (unless the number was present during the stay ), hundreds of listings in New York vanished in September 2023. It was referred to as a “de fide ban” by Airbnb.

Florence, an Italian holiday hub, enacted a law in October 2023 outlawing fresh short-term rentals in the town center. In June, Barcelona’s president announced plans to embargo all short-term accommodations in the Spanish town by 2028.

Their intentions are related: Local housing troubles and overtourism.

When more tenants switched to short-term lodging for better income, the supply of rental housing units decreased quickly. Prices and home rates have skyrocketed, and citizens are priced out of major cities.

Accessibility to more Airbnb-type short-term keeps has even contributed to overtourism in popular tourist destinations.

Local authorities are concerned about the deterioration of the environment and the saturated system. Local people are concerned about disruptions to peaceful neighborhoods and rising living expenses brought on by tourist-induced prices.

Some guesthouse users have complained about harsh competition. Hotels losing money could result in lower tax revenues for local governments, particularly in those areas where hosts and guests are not subject to taxes.

Some short-term accommodation options are poorly designed for large groups of temporary readers and guests, causing issues with other residents. In contrast to hotels, short-term rental properties are not as strictly controlled in terms of building-related challenges, such as fire and various health risks.Continue Reading
