Tan Kheng Hua (; born 17 January 1963) is a Singaporean actress best known for her role as Margaret Phua in Singapore-based MediaCorp TV Channel 5's longest-running hit television sitcom ''Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd''. In her youth, she never thought about acting until she went to the United States to get her university education. ==Career== While pursuing her studies, Tan enrolled herself in a theatrical art course, which gave her the first taste of acting. Although her desire to be an actress was very strong, she did not make acting a career immediately after she returned to Singapore. Instead, she took up a marketing job and acted in her spare time. Tan started out in corporate marketing after she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from Indiana University. The first stage play she performed in was John Bowen's ''The Waiting Room directed'' by her cousin Ivan Heng. It took almost a decade before Tan became a full-time actress. Since 2000, Tan has been producing and creating projects for theatre and television. She produced the critically acclaimed box-office hits, "Revenge of the Dim Sum Dollies", "Dim Sum Dollies – Singapore's Most Wanted!" and "Dim Sum Dollies in Little Shop of Horrors". For Arts Central, she created and executive produced the critically acclaimed television series "9 Lives", and "Do Not Disturb", the latter of which became the first local television drama to achieve a maximum five-star rating in The Straits Times Life!, Singapore's leading English-language newspaper's lifestyle segment. She also conceptualised the top-rated infotainment programme, "Heartland Getaways". Tan is currently working on her new creations – a teen musical for the stage as well as a new 13-part Channel 8 television drama series Mr And Mrs Kok 妙探夫妻档 which debuted on 26 November 2009. Tan has been married to Lim Yu Beng since 1996 and they have a young daughter named Shi-An. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tan Kheng Hua」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
