We've known Debbie when she won the Miss Malaysia Chinese International crown in the late 90's and we've been a part of her journey pondering her career direction striking out into the entertainment industry, participating in her achievements, understanding her struggles to make it in the local industry before she ventured to Hong Kong as an actress and TV host.
We know how hard she's worked in Hong Kong and China, the obstacle she's faced and how strong she has been to overcome all of it and still keep motivated. Her professionalism and maturity inspires us to keep our dreams alive.
Coming back to Malaysia to act 2 years ago was a very personal & emotional moment for her as she really wanted to do something for the Malaysian industry.
Ironically, she had never had a long-standing career in Malaysia, partly due to the slow & lukewarm response the Malaysian public had towards local Chinese productions. But thanks to NTV7's big step to start investing in Malaysian-made Chinese dramas in 2007, Debbie's had her chance again to prove that Malaysia Boleh!
She's attracted so many new fans, and has gotten great satisfaction acting in different TV drama roles and is now shooting a Malaysian Chinese movie.
Congratulations, Debbie, we are proud of you for winning Most Popular Actress at the Golden Awards !
