INSIGHT Made for the Spotlight WHEN SHE’S NOT ON THE ROAD, MALAYSIAN-BORN JACQUELIN CH’NG MAKES A LABOUR OF LOVE ON SET IN HONG KONG AND IS FREQUENTLY FOUND IN COLLOQUIAL ONLINE BROADCASTS ON HER CHANNELS. Text JESSY WONG • Photos RICK CHEAH & JACQUELIN CH'NG Jacquelin Ch’ng is the right cut out for stardom. The natural appeal of this celebrity stands at a height of 177cm, candidly drawing attention to her slender figure and friendly beauty. More thanks to basketball and high jump in her schooling days.
