Felicia Chin, 37, surprised everyone this morning when she announced that she’s leaving Mediacorp to embark on a new journey.
Speaking over the phone with 8days.sg, Felicia explains that her decision to pivot from acting was one that had been on her mind since the start of this year. And for those wondering, no, she was not waiting to win her last Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste Award to make the decision.“I feel very blessed to be in so many interesting roles and projects in Mediacorp all these years. Since the start of this year, a lot of things have been happening around the world and I feel like there’s a tugging in my heart that [tells me] I should move on. I’m actually going to join a faith based company,” says Felicia.
She feels that although there are plenty of platforms available to the English audience, where people can read encouraging messages, such resources are still lacking for the Chinese community.“There is a flexibility to what I’ll be doing, although it is a full time role with this social media platform. But if there are potential projects that are of my interest, where I feel is suitable, I will still have the flexibility to do it.
“When I left in 2010, I think I felt quite empty inside as a person, I felt a little exhausted as well. But right now I feel very full, I feel full with gratitude, new learnings and happier human relations around me. I feel full with love and support and I think there’s a huge difference,” she says.will also be catching up with her fans via zoom tonight.
