Chinese Theatre Circle

YOUNG ICON FOR CHINESE OPERA

Miss See Too Hoi Siang, leading actress of Chinese Theatre Circle (CTC), has been voted one the world's Top 10 Outstanding Young Persons in 2001 for her cultural achievement. She received this distinguished international award at a presentation ceremony held at Palau de la Musica Catalana, one of the world's most famous music concert halls, in Barcelona, Spain on 7 November 2001. See Too Hoi Siang is one of the top disciple of Mrs Joanna Wong, CTC's Artistic Director.

Her win marked the first for a Chinese Opera artist. Her win also puts her on a list that includes Hong Kong's "Heavenly King" Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, and actor Jackie Chan all of whom were previous recipients of this award.

The Outstanding Young Person Award (TOYP) is given out annually by the Junior Chamber International, a United States based world body, to 10 outstanding young people between the ages of 18 and 40 judged on their accomplishments in wide-ranging fields, from politics and science to academia, social work and cultures.

See Too Hoi Siang is one of 77 people from 25 countries who were nominated in 2001 for the award. She was nominated by the Orchid Jayceettes of Singapore, the women's chapter of the Junior Chamber in Singapore, a community organisation after winning "The Outstanding Young Person(s) in Singapore Award" in 2000 for cultural achievement.

Her winning this international award demonstrates that CTC has groomed an artiste of world-class status.
