This Is What Mediacorp Veteran Actress Hong Hui Fang Have To Say About Pan Ling Ling Dispute
Ever since Hong Hui Fang's and Pan Ling Ling's fallout was made known to the world, none of them have stood up to address the issue. In fact, they have been staying of out the media spotlight just like anyone else would... until yesterday, 1 August.
Hong Hui Fang courageously made her first media appearance since the hot topic and attended the press conference for upcoming Channel 8 drama Say Cheese in which she would play the role of Hong Rui Yan (aka Watermelon Aunt), a mediator between her on-screen husband and good friend.

As Hong Hui Fang would play the role of a mediator in Say Cheese, the media took the opportunity to poke at the recent affairs and asked if she would see herself as a mediator in real life, finding a balance between people and resolving conflicts.
“I feel that we shouldn’t end up in complicated situations when we’re interacting with people, but there are some unforeseen things that nobody (guessed would happen), so I can only do what I can (…) These unforeseen happenings can sometimes make me feel helpless.”
Reporters then went on and tried sounding her out about the recent dispute with Pan Ling Ling but Hong Hui Fang remained adamant on not commenting on it.
However, she confessed that ever since the Pan Ling Ling controversy happened, her children, Tay Ying and Calvert Tay, are the ones who really learned a lot.
They told me: “Mummy, we really learned something, and it’s a good lesson to us.”
And I told them: “The outside world is more cruel than Singapore, so you must have a strong heart to take it.”
As a veteran actress who's been in the media industry for awhile, there's no doubt that Hong Hui Fang must have a lot of takeaway. Though this incident has shocked us all, it is indeed an eye-opener.
Let's just hope that Hong Hui Fang and Pan Ling Ling would be able to resolve their conflict and come to a consensus soon. After all, they have known each other for over two decades and they are the face of our local TV station.
