In a surprising twist that has caught fans off guard, Andrew Seow, the beloved actor from the classic 90s series "Growing Up," has traded his acting talents for the badge of an auxiliary police officer with Aetos Security Management. At 55, he decided to follow in his father's footsteps, inspired by his legacy as a dedicated auxiliary officer during British colonial rule.
Seow underwent formal training through Workforce Singapore’s Career Conversion Programme, emerging not just with paperwork but fully equipped with firearms training and full police powers. Fans have been thrilled by a recent viral video where he reenacted one of his iconic scenes from "Growing Up"—this time proudly donned in police uniform.
Though he admits to missing the world of acting, Seow hinted at exciting news for his long-time supporters, teasing a surprise yet to come.
Kong Hee Faces Renewed Scrutiny Amid Controversy
Meanwhile, across the city, controversial megachurch pastor Kong Hee of City Harvest Church is back in the news after a recent interview reignited discussions surrounding his past conviction for misusing church funds to bolster his wife's pop career. Critics were quick to accuse him of evading responsibility, questioning the heartfelt sincerity of his supposed repentance.
Notably, the interview focused on themes of spiritual renewal, according to supporters, but many viewers felt his responses were too vague and insufficiently apologetic.
This renewed scrutiny has sparked intense debate within Chinese Christian communities in Asia and North America, highlighting divisions over prosperity gospel doctrines and the accountability of church leaders. Kong’s leadership continues to polarize opinions, raising ongoing concerns about repentance and the influence of charismatic figures in modern Christianity.
As Seow shines in his new role, Kong finds himself facing the echoes of his past, prompting broader discussions about transparency and forgiveness in the world of faith.
