Remember Wong Li Lin?

If you don’t, here’s a friendly reminder of what she looks like.

Wong is a former Singaporean actress and host, and she has graced the front of many memorable local dramas.

Who could ever forget her iconic role as Inspector Elaine Tay in the 1990s drama, Triple Nine?

But it seems that Wong has allowed her Triple Nine character to fully take over, as the former professional ballerina has taken up the role of executive director in the Public Hygiene Council (PHC).

The PHC was started in 2011 to encourage good hygiene practices and upgrade personal and public hygiene standards in Singapore.

Five weeks have passed since she ascended to the position.

What happened during that time?

Apparently, the mother of two’s been busy learning the ropes. That, and dealing with overly happy colleagues.

Well, it’s hard to blame them; if I get the opportunity to work alongside Wong, I doubt I can contain my excitement either.

I’ll probably sneak selfies in when she isn’t looking, watch Triple Nine and jio her to watch and make sure to tell every restaurant staff, “Eh, you know who this is? It’s Wong Li Lin! She’s my friend leh!”

But here’s an interesting bit: Wong has disclosed that she has no academic or work experience in the area of public hygiene.

But it doesn’t seem to be a problem for the multi-talented individual.

Seeing how she has explored the fields of pilates, media and even dabbled as a deputy director of a medical firm, I would say that she’s got new stuff well under control.

Streamlining the entire cleanup process

And it seems that she has some neat ideas in mind too.

First up, Wong wants to streamline the whole cleanup process around the island.

Apart from a one-stop online portal where organizations can access and view the available cleanup areas in Singapore, she also wishes to start a shared pool of cleaning tools so that groups won’t have to waste money on one-time uses.

Secondly, she has plans to organise public beach cleanups, with the council receiving around 20 to 30 monthly cleaning requests.

She also wants to empower the use of social “nudges”, whereby they aim to understand peoples’ habits and subsequently encourage them to keep the surroundings clean in a subconscious manner.

In other words, a widened circle of volunteers?

Wong was positive.

“I am looking forward to learning and growing on the job and contributing to our ability to better ourselves, so we can better our environment.”

Well good luck, Wong! I hope your ventures will succeed!

And if you need volunteers for public clean-ups, you know where to call.
