Michelle Yeoh said that when she accepted her Oscar statuette\u2014Joanne Kam certainly knows a thing or two about that. Her bio on her Instagram says it all: stand-up comedy, emcee, actor, radio announcer; and on top of all that, a mother.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From her first foray into show business at Haw Par Villa when she was only 19, to her becoming a multi-hyphenate, Joanne Kam has moved from success to success. She garnered several awards for HBO\u2019s \u2018Grisse\u2019 and critical acclaim for \u2018La La Lian\u2019, her own autobiographical show.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>She doesn\u2019t let anything stop her.

‘I was 19 when I moved to Singapore to join a theme park\u2014Haw Par Villa, to be precise. I was just after high school & was working part-time as a clinic nurse. I saw the audition in the newspaper & went for it. When I got that job & made the decision to move to Singapore at 19, I knew it was the start of something phenomenal. It was literally the start of my life in the entertainment world.’<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1678692600609{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]\n

‘It wasn’t an apartment. I rented a room in an HDB flat from a Malay family. The family were very kind. In the room, I had a bed, a TV, a VCR player and a wall phone in my bedroom (yes, no handphones yet – we had pagers!) They had put a wall phone in my room in case I get calls. I loved it because they always made a little extra food for me to eat when I got home, even though they did not have to.’<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]
