A Surprising Career Change
In a surprising twist that has left fans buzzing, Andrew Seow, the beloved actor known for his role as Gary Tay in the iconic 90s series "Growing Up," has traded in his acting career for life on the front lines as an auxiliary police officer with Aetos Security Management. At the age of 55, this bold move pays homage to his late father—an auxiliary officer during British colonial times. Seow’s heartfelt choice to honor his father's legacy was fueled by his desire to engage in something meaningful.
Seow, who has undergone formal training through Workforce Singapore's Career Conversion Programme, is now fully equipped with police powers. In a delightful twist that warmed the hearts of his fans, a viral video emerged online where Seow re-enacts a memorable scene from "Growing Up," this time donning a police uniform alongside content creator Zaki Hussain. Although he admits he misses acting, Seow hinted at an exciting surprise for his loyal fanbase!
Kong Hee Faces Renewed Criticism
Meanwhile, in a separate storyline that’s stirring controversy, Kong Hee, pastor of the City Harvest Church, finds himself back in the spotlight following a recent interview. The conversation has reignited scrutiny over his past conviction for misusing church funds, which has sparked fierce debates on social media. Critics have voiced their discontent, arguing that Kong's interview fails to demonstrate genuine remorse, while supporters maintain that his focus was on spiritual renewal.
The backlash has echoed through Chinese Christian communities across Asia and North America, emphasizing the deep divides over the teachings of prosperity gospel as well as issues of pastoral accountability. With Kong Hee once again at the center of scrutiny, discussions surrounding leadership, transparency, and forgiveness are resurfacing, highlighting the challenges of modern Christian leadership.
