Ya Hui was one of the hot favourites of Mediacorp’s talent scouting contest before winning the Miss Telegenic Award at Star Search 2007. She was offered a contract with Mediacorp and landed herself a prominent role in a long form drama “Love Blossoms” acting alongside Ivy Lee and Zheng Ge Ping, who were the winners for Best Actress and Best Actor at Mediacorp’s Star Awards. Her outstanding performance in the drama serial earned her nominations for the Newcomer Award of the Year in The New Paper Flame Awards 2008 and the Best Newcomer Award for Star Awards 2008.

Ya Hui’s passion for the performing arts started since she was young. Her love for dance saw her being in the Dance Team from Primary school all the way to Junior College. She was also involved in many volunteer work organized by her schools. One of the major projects was the Overseas Community Involvement Programme in Yunnan, China, in which she displayed not only a heart for service, but also the fortitude to undergo physical discomfort and manual labor. Ya Hui did her first hosting in 2012 and was well liked by her young audience in a programme “Mat Yoyo”. In 2014, she was involved in a long form drama as a wanton mee seller, and was well received with viewers. This breakthrough landed herself with one of the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste Awards in Star Awards 2014. A strong believer in giving back to society, Ya Hui has been actively supporting local charity organizations and she is the Singapore Red Cross Ambassador since 2017.
