An active and outgoing backpacker, Chui Ling has travelled to many countries around the world, passionately experiencing the richness of different cultures and traditions. Ultimately it was Malaysia that captured her restless heart, thus her decision to make this beautiful country her new home.
Although a graduate of biochemistry from the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, Chui Ling found the entertainment industry more challenging and fulfilling. Why? Because a career in the entertainment industry is very much like travelling - it is always full of surprises and the diversity of people you meet is forever inspiring.
Chui Ling's entertainment career began in Hong Kong where she had the opportunity to appear in three movies before she was invited to come to Malaysia to star in locally produced TV dramas.
Her biggest break came in 2000 when she was given the chance to host and direct a brand new variety show, “On the Beat”. This irreverent TV show became such a huge hit, it instantly made Chui Ling and her co-host household names.
Subsequently, Chui Ling tried her hand at radio and joined the now defunct WAFM97.6. Her “Wa! Breakfast!” show was the talk of town for more than two years and brought a lot of fun and fresh material to radio fans. During her time at WAFM, Chui Ling was also seen playing the role of Shan Shan on Astro Wah Lai Toi’s Chinese sitcom, “Homecoming”. This 260-episode production garnered over a million viewers during its run.
Since 1997, she has been passionately carving a role for herself in Malaysia's entertainment industry. From acting, hosting to writing and finally, directing, Chui Ling has found satisfaction in communicating with the audience in her own special way.
