My letter on Cynthia Chew’s untimely passing & legacy gets
published in Mediacorp’s 8 days
magazine this week, and wins the best letter award with a dining voucher for 4. Check
it out on page 6.
MediaCorp has lost one of its
best TV producers in Cynthia Chew Choon Hoon.
Her untimely demise caught many
of us by surprise. I worked with this
unassuming producer during my 31-year career in broadcasting. She was an
extremely dedicated and ate, drank
and breathed TV. While most of us were
still in bed, Cynthia was in the office as early as 7am almost daily.
To me, she was not just a
colleague. She was a dear friend who always encouraged and inspired me. I remember being sceptical about taking on
the role of two lawyers in the local courtroom drama True Files when she first approached me. But her persistence and
encouragement eventually paid of.
Cynthia leaves behind a legacy of
household names like Growing Up, Moulmein
High, and Crime Watch; just to
name a few.
Farewell Cynthia, you may be
gone, but the memories you gave me and all our viewers will live on.
