While having a sumptuous meal with Sammin Ang, his wife Esther and Jimmy Yap, we met these 3 veteran Singapore Chinese actors, all MediaCorp "Ah Ge" legends from the 80s/90s. So, we got together and took a picture. In case you aren't sure who they are, here's some details:
Left: Zhu Houren 朱厚任
Known for roles in classic Channel 8 dramas like _The Awakening_, _The Last Appeal_. He’s famous for playing stern father/authority figures.
Middle: Richard Low 刘谦益
Veteran actor/director. You’d recognize him from _The Little Nyonya_, _C.L.I.F._, and _118_. Also a regular variety show host back in the day.
Right: Chen Shucheng 陈澍城
Comedian and actor. Famous for _Comedy Night_ and sitcoms like _Don’t Worry Be Happy_. He usually wears glasses and is known for his comedic timing.
The 3 of them were part of the same generation of Channel 8 actors and still hang out a lot. Fans call them the “3 uncles” of SG Chinese drama 😄.
Images: from Sammin Ang.

You are looking good. Like a star.
Thanks Tracy. That's an encouraging comment. Yes, these are local Senior stars who deserve much love and recognition. I'm just an outsider looking in.
Andy, you're looking great. Where was this? Bt. Timah?
No! JB. Jalan Besar at Berseh food court. The cher-char there is fantastically well-cooked and delicious. Done by an old auntie but she takes a while to prepare them. Well worth the wait.
What a gathering and mingling with local TV stars. You're really lucky Andy.
