Malaysia-born actor Ronny Chieng hasn’t been able to travel back to Singapore in over two years to visit his mother. Much like many people all around the world, visiting friends and loved ones overseas turned into a challenge as the world went into lock down mode to combat Covid-19.

Chieng shared with AsiaOne that he regrets taking the freedom to openly travel for granted. “I definitely would have seen her more if not for Covid,” he said, expressing how much he misses his mother. Chieng has referenced his mother many times in his stand up shows, including the 2019 Netflix special Ronny Chieng: Asian Comedian Destroys America.
