SINGAPORE – Home-grown actress Chantalle Ng was reminded how fragile life can be after going through one of her toughest weeks.
The 30-year-old star of hit series like Emerald Hill (2025) and My Star Bride (2021) disclosed on social media on Sept 24 that she was recently admitted to hospital due to a viral infection.
“But more than anything, I came home with deep gratitude for the people in healthcare,” wrote the actress, who has been filming new TV drama The Grind.
“To the first responders in the ambulance, I ugly cried when you arrived because I knew I was going to be safe. I didn’t even get the chance to properly thank you before you disappeared for your next call. So, thank you.”
Ng also thanked the doctors and nurses at Tan Tock Seng Hospital’s emergency department for their patience and kindness, writing: “Thank you for caring for me with such gentleness and understanding, especially as a claustrophobic patient when I insisted on walking around and removing my needles.”
The Mediacorp artiste, who is the daughter of veteran local actress Lin Meijiao and former actor Huang Yiliang, also said the staff at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases’ Ward 8F changed how she viewed a hospital stay.
“I initially resisted being admitted, but I am so glad I was there when my fever spiked,” Ng wrote. “Special thanks to Dr Ting for explaining everything so clearly, waiting for my mum to arrive and repeating it all again for her.”
The actress said she once read that people close to death sometimes feel an immense surge of love.
“I wasn’t close to dying, but I felt that love at Tan Tock Seng, and it brings me to tears knowing how much kindness is around us,” she said. “I’ll be resting for a little while, but I am recovering well and I will be back soon.”
Lin, 61, also commented on Ng’s Instagram post, writing: “Thank you to all (the) loving people around, your kindness and care mean so much to us.”
Ng, who was interviewed in July by Chinese-language daily Lianhe Zaobao on the set of The Grind, said then that she had been filming for 20 consecutive days without a break.
“My manager often says I’m constantly turning down work, but I have my reasons,” Ng said then. “My projects come one after another, leaving me with very little personal time. For example, today marks my 20th day without a break, so I naturally crave a breather.”
“But I also understand that from my manager’s perspective, some jobs offer rare exposure, so there’s a trade-off: rest or push forward,” she added. “I’m still trying to find that balance.”
