SINGAPORE – Local actress Zoe Tay mourned her late mother in a social media post on Dec 1.

Tay, 57, wrote in Chinese: “She never expressed her love, but poured love into every little moment of her daily life. With her lifelong kindness, she taught me to treat the world gently. May you rest in peace, mum. I am missing you silently every day.”

The “Ah Jie” (Big Sister) of Singapore television also included hashtags such as #MissingYou, #GratefulForYourNurturing and #TheGiantInMyHeart in the post.

Several of her celebrity pals, such as actor Chew Chor Meng, actress Xiang Yun, TV host Guo Liang and radio DJ Glenn Ong, left condolences in the comments section.

On June 30, Tay wrote a post commemorating her mother’s 88th birthday. “Happy birthday to my dearest mummy,” she wrote then. “Love you so so much.”
