About
When Phin Wong was a wee lad, his mother tried an assortment of ingenious punishments to curb his mouthy enthusiasm.
Thankfully, none of her plans worked.
For over a decade, Phin has been using his inability to simply shut up and sit in a corner to craft out a career that spans across publishing, radio, television and theatre. Devourers of magazines will recognise his acerbic humour and tell-it-as-it-is style in magazines like East, Catalog and 8 Days. Fans of now-defunct Arts Central (all five of them) will recognise the former Power 98FM DJ from the popular arts programme, Front. Fellow night birds will recognise him from the bar.
In 1997, The Straits Times called him the “acting discovery of the year”, but the paper has since ceased to have anything good to say about him.
Incredibly, the multi-tasker still gets offered the occasional theatre work, and was last seen in the critically acclaimed 2006 production of A Language of Their Own.
Phin now pays his bills with the help of his day job as the Plus Editor of the daily paper, Today.
