Becoming is a series where we showcase individuals who have had to overcome adversity to become the person they are today.
It s been more than a decade since Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd ended its run, yet most people still know Irene Ang for her portrayal of Rosie Phua.
Perhaps it s because the character s cheery personality, humour, candour and unmistakable, colloquial accent is not dissimilar from Irene in real life.
It is this friendly frankness of hers that makes talking to her feel as though we re talking to a long-time friend, instead of a multi-talented artiste who doubles up as the founder and CEO of artiste management company, Fly Entertainment Pte Ltd.
