Taipei — Taiwanese singer and girl group S.H.E member Selina Jen is known to be a very filial daughter. With a successful career of two decades, the 39-year-old definitely has the financial means to prove it in an epic way.

On Thursday (Nov 26), Selina shared a video of herself and her younger sister, actress Lorene Jen, 32, giving their parents a tour of her newly-renovated home in Taipei’s Shilin District. It was a surprise gift to them.

The 465 sq m unit was purchased by Selina and her former husband, lawyer Richard Chang, for NT$200 million (S$9.4 million). They got married in 2011 but split up in 2016. The home became a huge storeroom after that, according to news reports.

A year ago, the sisters decided to remodel the home as a surprise gift for their parents. The home now has a stunning European-inspired design with lots of light colours, intricate details and gorgeous decor.

It is not clear how much the sisters spent on remodelling the home but it is not cheap to make it look like a five-star hotel suite.

Selina and Lorene added extra features such as a soundproof recreation room for their father and a dressing room for their mother. The sisters also added some personal touches. In the dining room, family photos are hung on the wall while there is a beautiful mural of birds which Selina said represents the four of them.

Selina’s parents could not stop gushing throughout the tour. The mother, who was moved to tears every now and then, said she “never wants to move out, in this life and the next”.

Towards the end of the tour, Selina gave her parents a card with a message that expressed her gratitude to them. “I can only give you this humble room as a token of my love for you,” she wrote. /TISG

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...
