Fan base

Fann is considered a well-respected industry professional in her home country Singapore. She is arguably the only Singaporean actress who has managed to sustain exposure through a consistent body of work in the Greater Asian showbiz arena. It is precisely this overseas success that has made her a de facto representative of the Singapore entertainment industry across Asia. The Chinese media regard her as '???????' (Singapore's top female star), while in Singapore, she is termed an '??' ('Ah Jie', literally translated as 'Big Sister', a term of affection to mean a female celebrity highly respected in the local entertainment scene).

She has a sizeable fan base in Singapore, China, Taiwan, and much of Southeast Asia - including Vietnam, where she performed at a concert in 2004. Her Hollywood debut in Shanghai Knights exposed her to a global audience, and the upcoming House of Harmony, which will be telecast on European and US TV networks, will be Fann's next shot at pitching herself to an international viewership.
