Shirli Ling shocked netizens recently when she announced that she became a grandmother at age 34. Although the Ah Girls Go Army actress, now 35, has previously mentioned it briefly, she discussed her experience in greater detail in an Instagram video on March 7. In her caption, she wrote that becoming a grandma at that young age was both "good and bad". "Depends on how you look at it and how you manage it," she added. Shirli, a mother of five, gave birth to her first son at 17. Her oldest son turns 18 this year and her other children are aged 17, 13, 10 and eight. She revealed in a follow-up video yesterday (March 11) that her son was also 17 when he got his girlfriend pregnant last year. "When he told me that his girlfriend got pregnant, I felt that I wanted them to decide for themselves and be responsible for their own actions," she shared. Shirli explained that she couldn't make the decision to keep or give up the child for them, "because this is your future". "If I help you decide, you will dislike me if you regret it in the future," she said. She added that she would never "encourage" her children to have kids young, as she knows the difficulties as a young mother herself. "Being a parent at a young age is not advisable, but since it's already happened, I'll teach them how to face it, how to decide, how to be responsible for your own actions," she said. Shirli added that she can't guarantee if they aborted the first baby, that they wouldn't have another one. "If they don't know how to think, they will still make the same mistake," she said. Instead, Shirli said that one should help educate their kids when they need help, always be there for them and remember to always give them "lots and lots of love". Some netizens joked in the comments, with one saying that Shirli could become a "great-grandmother at 53 and a great-great-grandmother at 72". Some shared their appreciation for Shirli, with one comment calling her the "best mum I know". "You are really open about this. Most people would start blaming their children for being young parents," another comment read. However, many netizens also raised their concerns. "I see that your son hasn't even been to National Service yet or finished his education. His girlfriend hasn't finished her education yet either," one wrote. "When this happens, I think the parents should help them make life decisions until they turn 21." Some wondered whether Shirli was more accepting of the pregnancy because it involved one of her sons, not her daughters. Another commented: "Parents should teach their children sex education." Shirli, who played recruit Chow Ai Lian in Jack Neo's 2022 movie Ah Girls Go Army, runs food stall 8889 Chicken Hot Pot and makes floral arrangements at The Floral Duet. She is also part of comedy group Double Up founded by content creator Mayiduo and Ah Girls Go Army actress Charlene Huang. https://www.asiaone.com/entertainment/ah-girls-go-army-actress-shirli-ling-becomes-grandma-34-its-already-happened-teach-them-face-it https://www.8world.com/singapore/local-influencer-shirli-ling-became-gradma-at-34-2397501?fbclid=IwAR1hlEMwcUpz62KfeC58setILjX4-nuOmZUrwiXjAEo5MEfnLZwA-AG2ftI

Yahoo News No police action against Tin Pei Ling, Nicole Seah By Alicia Wong | SingaporeScene

How can anyone not warm up to a face like that? ----- Jul 4, 2011 MacPherson 'warming up' to me: Tin Pei Ling By Poon Chian Hui NEWLY minted MP Tin Pei Ling has said the people of MacPherson are warming up to her. Calling this a 'significant change', she said: 'I guess, given what has happened, they recognise me, but they have also become warmer.' The 27-year-old full-time MP, speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a community event in Toa Payoh yesterday, was referring to her baptism of fire when standing on the People's Action Party (PAP) ticket in Marine Parade GRC in May's General Election. She was widely castigated online for the photos she posted of herself on Facebook, a video clip which caught her in a show of petulance, and for her links to the party through her husband, the principal private secretary to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, among other things. Soon after PAP's victory in Marine Parade GRC was announced, many called for her resignation on Facebook. Ms Tin said it is still too early to tell whether the public's ill will towards her has dissolved, but she is viewing it as a positive sign that residents have appeared more at ease talking to her. It has been a month since she quit her job as a business consultant at Ernst & Young to focus on being an MP. Saying she will not be looking for a job for up to a year, she added: 'I'm just focusing on MacPherson, on the people.' Her days are now filled with meeting residents, such as during her Meet-the-People Sessions, her twice-weekly block visits or when she takes her walks through the constituency. 'When I have lunch or meals in the constituency, residents come up to me... and then we will have a chit-chat.'

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tin-Pei-Ling...205257689516133 Focusing on MacPherson .by Tin Pei Ling on Wednesday, June 1, 2011 at 1:49am. Yesterday (31 May 2011) marked my last day with Ernst & Young. After long and careful deliberation, I decided to resign from the firm to focus on my responsibilities in MacPherson and Marine Parade GRC. Working as a business consultant has been enriching and meaningful, and I deeply appreciate the confidence and opportunities that the firm has given me over the years. I have now been on the ground in MacPherson for over two months. MacPherson has a large number of elderly and poorer households. I feel strongly for them. They require and deserve more help and attention, and there is still much that can be done for them. I have decided to spend more time on the ground, to better serve the needs of residents, and to implement my plans for MacPherson. I will consider my longer-term career plans in the future, but fulfilling my duties to the residents of MacPherson will remain my first and utmost priority. . So unlike the 64-committee super MP Yeo Guat Kwang, our Tin Tin can't multitask ... just as well, actually.

Would it be remotely possible, to use all our internet resources (TOC, TR, Hardwarezone, Stomp, MCF) to petition for TPL to be OUT of parliament? since LHL said PAP will listen to people on the ground more. Walk the talk?

Hi folks, we have all been immensely entertained by Miss Tin's oratorial skills (or lack off) last week, and her feet stamping...."I duno what to say" liner. In view of the above stringent selection Criterias for PAP MPs, below is another candidate with real potential for the PAP team. This lady will certainly give Miss Tin a run for the money (all SGD15k of it).... <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/t3aq2OgizqE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

TNP reports that PLL and her cleavage was being discussed on mycarforum, where? PLL aside, does this mean lazy journos are simply making up stories? That also could mean alot of ppl being "inteviewed" and quoted could also be phantoms and simply made up.
