Top actress Zoe Tay has critiqued seven of MediaCorp’s most popular young actresses in an interview with a fashion magazine.
On Rui En: “She is totally different from the rest. She has character and a bit of a temper, like an ice queen. Not everyone will like her. But what we have to admit is that she leaves a deep impression.”

Out of MediaCorp’s seven princesses, Felicia and Jesseca Liu are the only ones who have been guests on CelebriTea Break.
It was recently reported that Jeanette Aw and Rui En rejected requests to be on the show because they are not fluent in Mandarin.

THIS year’s Singapore Day will be celebrated on a bigger scale despite the economic downturn.
In fact, the one-day event to be held on April 25 at Hampton Court Palace, southwest of Central London, will cost more than double that of last year’s in Melbourne.
‘We asked ourselves whether we should continue with organising this event given the economic downturn. We went through the analyses, assessment, videos and feedback of overseas Singaporeans and we felt the firm response is yes we need to go ahead,’ said Ms Quah Ley Hoon, Director, Overseas Singaporean Unit (OSU), at a media briefing on Wednesday.
With the theme of “Relook, Refresh & Reconnect”, overseas Singaporeans will experience a slice of home through Singaporean sights, sounds and tastes.
Creative Director for Singapore Day 2009, Mr Eric Khoo, said: “I want to create a happy fun-filled environment that overseas Singaporeans could connect to – local icons re-fashioned in a pop art sort of way. And for the entertainment, I could not resist pulling in some of Singapore’s finest artistes.”
They will be able to enjoy homegrown humour by local artistes like Dim Sum Dollies, Hossan Leong, Jack Neo and blogger Mr Brown, and sway to songs by singer Rui En and Singapore Idol Taufik Batisah.
Authentic local delights such as chicken rice, roti prata, char kway teow and satay will be specially prepared by hawkers chosen by Makansutra.
About Singapore Day
