WHEN SHE’S NOT ON THE ROAD, MALAYSIAN-BORN JACQUELIN CH’NG<br />

Jacquelin Ch’ng is the right cut out for stardom.<br />
The natural appeal of this celebrity stands at<br />
a height of 177cm, candidly drawing attention<br />
to her slender figure and friendly beauty. More<br />
thanks to basketball and high jump in her schooling<br />
days. Although she’s born in Malaysia, Jacquelin<br />
found heels fitting to her size in Hong Kong, the<br />
city where she grew up in. As an urban city-dweller,<br />
her favourite place in Malaysia is none other than<br />
the Pearl of the Orient. “I love to go to Penang. The<br />
place is just beautiful and especially the food, it is<br />
delicious.” However, the iconic city with lofty twintowers<br />
is the place she would call home.<br />
Count yourself lucky if you manage to spot<br />
Jacquelin in any of her recurring returns to the<br />
country over the calls of festivities, holidays<br />
and most importantly, filial piety as her parents,<br />
Malaysian property tycoons Datuk Bill Ch’ng Poh and<br />
Datin Kong Yuk Chu, are based in Kuala Lumpur.<br />
Leading the Ch’ng sister-pack, Jacquelin, as the<br />
eldest of her siblings dramatically paid her dues in<br />
Hong Kong as a TVB actress and movie star together<br />
with her sister, Lisa, who is also in the entertainment<br />
industry of Hong Kong.<br />
Jacquelin is no newcomer to the scene having<br />
starred in the big screen of Hong Kong’s milliondollar<br />
box office movies like “S for Sex, S for Secret”<br />
and “Return of the Cuckoo” otherwise commercially<br />
successful TVB dramas such as “Two Steps from<br />
Heaven” and “Heart and Greed 3”.<br />
“There are no other jobs out there for you to<br />
explore different characters and roles. I have the<br />
most fun in acting; being able to play a different<br />
person, do things that you ordinarily won’t and<br />
wear your emotions on your sleeve–be it of anger or<br />
sadness–in front of many people.”<br />
While she talks about her multifarious roles, it is<br />
revealed that Jacquelin’s pursuit of new experiences<br />
is also well-satiated in her career. “I get to visit plenty<br />
of places and understand various cultures. There was<br />
once we even filmed in a prison.<br />
