Jacelyn Tay's son gets bluffed by Minister Ong Ye Kung

Former TV actress Jacelyn Tay has a precocious son and she has shared many anecdotes about how he teaches her things or says things that surprise her.

Yet, strangely, the nine-year-old was still convinced by Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung's little fib, and Jacelyn found it hilarious. In a recent Instagram post by the 45-year-old, she shared that Zavier was interviewing Mr Ong for a new meWATCH show and the boy expressed surprise that Mr Ong laughed at a joke as he wasn't sure if ministers were allowed to do so.

According to Jacelyn, Mr Ong told Zavier that ministers "usually don’t laugh" except on Sundays when they are "allowed to laugh twice". He then put on a straight face and said: "So today I reached my quota."

Jacelyn wrote: "Behind the scenes, I burst out laughing. Minister @ongyekung you really have a sense of humour... didn't expect that from you because you always look so serious."

Huang Biren really wanted her Best Actress award very badly

It's considered polite among actors to not seem too eager about winning awards. You've seen it all on the red carpet when they casually brush off questions about whether they expect to win and say they're happy just to be nominated.
