Now that her eldest daughter has graduated from her studies and is gainfully employed, local veteran actress Chen Xiuhuan should be rejoicing and kicking her feet back.

However, Shanisse Tsai, 22, is a medical doctor and now working at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), no less. With the current rise in local Covid-19 cases — 46 in the TTSH cluster as of yesterday (May 18) — Xiuhuan is understandably worried.


Speaking to 8days.sg over the phone, Xiuhuan shared that while she's fully supportive of her daughter's career, she can't help but be worried about Shanisse being on the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19.

Nevertheless, she told 96.3 Hao FM in an interview yesterday: "She's a doctor and this is her calling in life. We can only give her our silent support."

Shanisse has voluntarily reduced contact with her family. Xiuhuan said her daughter would go straight to her room once she returns home from work, and there was even a time when she didn't see Shanisse for over 20 days, despite them living under the same roof.

Like her colleagues, the young houseman also encountered Grab drivers who refused to pick her up, Xiuhuan added.

In a separate interview with 8Days, the 55-year-old said: "After we knew about what had happened, her dad and I offered to ferry her, along with any of her colleagues who couldn't get a ride home after work.


The actress says she hopes that healthcare workers, like her 22-year-old daughter, who just got her first paycheck as a doctor at TTSH, will no longer be shunned by the public.

"(Shanisse) turned down our offer as she didn't want to put us at unnecessary risk. Thankfully, the hospital has worked out something and transport is no longer an issue for them."

Yesterday, Xiuhuan posted on Instagram about how the thoughtful girl gave angbaos to her, her father, her grandparents and godmother after receiving her first paycheck.

"I immediately thought that her first salary would all gone because of this! I suppose this is how mothers worry. My heart is filled with happiness and gratitude, my daughter has grown up and is now sensible. I'm almost crying!"

My daughter gave me a red packet with the money that she got from her first pay check.

I later found out that she also gave one to her father, grandfather, paternal and maternal grandmothers, and godmother. Goodness, she must have spent a bomb! I'm worried that she spent her entire pay check just like that.”

Xiuhuan also posted a photo of the very sweet message Shanisse wrote at the back of the red packet.

“Dear Mum, after 17 years of formal education, I am finally a doctor who just got my very first pay yesterday. I am sometimes still in disbelief that I am living my dream career and I know it’s because of all your love and sacrifices,” wrote the newly-minted Dr Tsai.

“I look back and I see you pushing me to beyond what I can do, encouraging me to always give my best shot at everything. You gave up your dream career so that I may have mine. This sacrifice is insurmountable. Thank you for all the time and effort you spent in nurturing me [and] for helping me achieve my goal with all that you have. I owe this life that I have, all to you. While this may not be much, I wish to express my gratitude for the whole world that you have given me that I may be standing at where I am today. Without your incredible love for me, I would have had nothing. I will continue to work hard and do you guys proud with all that you have taught me. Love you so much!”
