Mental health is not an easy topic to talk about. There is still a stigma around it, making it difficult for those who are suffering to reach out and ask for help. Hence, when celebrities come forward and share their stories with the public, it not only raises awareness but also helps other sufferers know that they are not alone..
PETALING JAYA: Don t play-play when it comes to vaccination to protect yourself and your family from Covid-19.
Phua Chu Kang, the Singaporean contractor with his trademark yellow boots, perm and mole, has returned in a quirky new music video with his wife Rosie to urge Singaporeans to get vaccinated.
Actor Gurmit Singh reprises his role from the long-running 1997-2007 MediaCorp TV show as Phua Chu Kang while Rosie is, as ever, played by Irene Ang.
In the two-minute video, the duo dance and rap to tunes that call on Singaporeans to get inoculated in the country s immunisation programme.
The video was shared by the official Singaporean government Twitter account on Tuesday (May 4), with the accompanying captions Don t play play! Singapore s favourite contractor is back to rally Singaporeans to get their Covid-19 vaccines!

Becoming is a series where we showcase individuals who have had to overcome adversity to become the person they are today.
It s been more than a decade since Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd ended its run, yet most people still know Irene Ang for her portrayal of Rosie Phua.
Perhaps it s because the character s cheery personality, humour, candour and unmistakable, colloquial accent is not dissimilar from Irene in real life.
It is this friendly frankness of hers that makes talking to her feel as though we re talking to a long-time friend, instead of a multi-talented artiste who doubles up as the founder and CEO of artiste management company, Fly Entertainment Pte Ltd.
