Tiffany Leong (simplified Chinese: 梁丽芳; traditional Chinese: 梁麗芳; pinyin: Liáng Lìfāng; 24 October 1985 – 28 December 2015), also known as 绰琦 (pinyin: Chuō Qí),[1] was a Malaysian actress and host and former model contracted to MediaCorp.

Life and career

Leong used to be a model and beauty queen before joining Astro and enjoyed some success as a television host. She switched to acting in 2006 and joined MediaCorp in Singapore. Initially she was mostly cast in Singapore-Malaysia co-productions and made her debut in a Singapore-produced series in the 2008 drama La Femme. She was nominated for the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes at the 2011 Star Awards.[2]

Personal life

Health and death

In July 2013, the former Mediacorp artiste was diagnosed with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndrome, and was later confirmed to have Neuroendocrine cancer tumors in her liver. She had 60 per cent of her liver removed, and returned to work in late 2014.

On 24 December 2015, Leong was admitted to a hospital in Kuala Lumpur after suffering a relapse. On the afternoon of 28 December 2015, she died after losing her battle with cancer. Her family urged the public to give them time and space to sort out her funeral arrangements.[3][4] In YouTube a simple tribute was posted for her
