It was a bittersweet moment for TV star Rui En at the Star Awards on Sunday night (Apr 17) as she addressed her recent controversy while collecting her All Time Favourite Artiste Award on stage.

The 35-year-old actress asked for forgiveness and wondered aloud if she is suited for the entertainment industry, given her straightforward personality.

Holding her award in her hand, she said slowly: “This is an important moment in my career but I also face a difficult obstacle. To be a good actress, I not only have to act well – but I also have to put on my best self to the public. Because I have a straightforward personality, I show all my emotions on my face, so sometimes that causes misunderstandings.

“I still wonder every day if I’m suited for the entertainment industry. Regarding the recent incident – it’s still under investigation, so before the full report is out, I hope you can all forgive me. I’m unable to answer the media at this point, but I hope to apologise for whatever inconveniences this has caused. I am very sorry.”

At the end of her speech, she moved away from the microphone and gave a deep bow.

The All Time Favourite Artiste Award is given to those stars who have collected a total of 10 trophies in the Top 10 Most Popular Artiste Award category over the years.

It was a visibly humbled and remorseful Rui En who took to the stage last night at Star Awards 2016 Show 1.

Receiving the awards ceremony’s highest accolade, All-Time Favourite Artiste,alongside actor Qi Yuwu, the 35-year-old local actress was not her usual cool and aloof self during her acceptance speech.

Last Tuesday afternoon, she had crashed her car into a parked motorcycle in Clementi. The incident sparked off an online brouhaha when it was reported that the first thing she allegedly told the biker was: “Do you know who I am?”

Police are investigating the accident.

Last night, Rui En delivered her acceptance speech after a video montage celebrating her TV career. She held back tears, gasped for breath, asked for forgiveness, and apologised – twice – to the crowd.

At the end of her speech, the actress even bowed deeply.

“This is a milestone year for my career but at the same time, it’s a year where I have to face difficulties in life,” she said in Mandarin.

“Regarding the case that happened earlier in the week, I hope all of you will forgive me for not being able to comment to the media, as it is still under investigation.

“I’m extremely sorry for causing so much inconvenience to everyone. I know a lot of people have given me unconditional love, I really thank them for that.”

She also expressed gratitude to her bosses and colleagues at management company Hype Records, who she said “have stood by me and supported me even though I’ve done wrong”.

The star also thanked her ardent fans for “never forsaking” her.

Often labelled an ice queen, Rui En showed a softer and more vulnerable side, even musing at one point: “To be a responsible actress, it’s not just about acting well, but also about presenting your best side to audiences.

“I’m so straight-talking and I don’t hide my emotions, whether they’re happy or sad emotions. And I’m aware this could cause divisive, controversial opinions (of me).

“Until now, I wonder if I’m suitable for showbiz.”

‘SINCERE’

Mr Bahrom Sarmiten, 52, the owner of the parked motorcycle that Rui En hit last Tuesday, told TNP over the phone that he watched Rui En’s acceptance speech.

“Too bad I don’t understand Mandarin, but I can tell that she wanted to cry,” he said.

“I can feel that she is very sincere.”

To Rui En, Mr Bahrom added: “The higher you climb, the challenges you face are tests from God.”

He said he “does not feel any more anger” over the accident.

“In the past, I would have gone haywire (sic), but I think maybe I’m an old man now, I have mellowed.”

RBKD: After winning 10 consecutive Star Awards Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes awards, Rui En finally went home with her All-Time Favourite Artiste trophy at last night’s Star Awards 2016 Part 1. On stage, Rui En choked back on tears a few times, especially in her thank you speech towards her fans.

“This year marks an important career milestone and it is also one of the hardest tests in my life. It takes more than good acting to be a competent artiste, it is equally important to present the best side to the audience too,” said Rui En in her speech on stage.

“Because I am a straightforward person, my emotions are often written all over my face and it is often the point of contention,” she added. “I often think that a person like me is not suitable to be in show business.”

“As the incident is still undergoing investigations and has yet to be concluded, please forgive me if I’m unable to make any comments on the incident,” said Rui En, before she took a long pause and continued saying, “Thank you everyone for your care and concern, I’d like to offer my deepest apologies for all the inconveniences created from the incident.”

After addressing the matter and expressing her thanks to the company and production team for their support over the years, she looked up to where her fanclub members, RBKD, was sitting at and said, “I’m very lucky to have you by my side and to have your support and encouragement throughout this journey.”

Prior to her appearance on stage, a special video clip celebrating Rui En’s graduation was aired on TV. The fanclub, whose presence was strongly felt on the red carpet with their pink balloons, banner and raucous cheers, made the clip which involved more than 80 fans in 17 cities in 10 countries, from as far as California and Connecticut in USA and Vancouver and Oakville in Canada to neighbouring countries such as Malaysia and Taiwan.
