Getai Singer Angie Lau Passes Away at 58 Years Old; Battled Cancer for 11 Years
On Sunday (9 February), local getai singer Angie Lau, who is also the sister of Singaporean host and getai singer Liu Ling Ling, passed away at the age of 58.
The wake will be held at the Level 2 Lily Room at Singapore Funeral Parlour, which is located at 91 Tampines Link until Thursday (13 February). The rites and memorial service will be held on Thursday (13 February) at 9:45 am.
The cortege will leave at 11 am to Mandai Crematorium Service Hall 1 for cremation at 12:05 pm.
The getai singer, who shared the stage with the likes of Jackie Chan, Anita Mui, and Leslie Cheung in her lifetime, has been battling cancer for 11 years.
According to Shin Min Daily News, Lau was first diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and lymphoma in 2014. While her condition came under control after undergoing treatment, she was suddenly hospitalised in 2023 after water was found accumulating in her lungs and heart.
Subsequent tests revealed that Lau’s condition had relapsed. She was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, with the cancer cells having spread to her lungs, bones, and lymph nodes.
Shortly after, Lau was also diagnosed with brain cancer after an MRI scan revealed several small tumours in her brain.
According to Shin Min Daily News, Lau was hospitalised once again this year after suffering a fall on 19 January — just slightly more than a week before Chinese New Year.
During her hospitalisation, the bad news broke. The doctor estimated that Lau would have only about a month left to live. However, she eventually passed away three weeks later.
Lau had also asked to be discharged from the hospital for Chinese New Year. On Tuesday (28 January), the eve of Chinese New Year, she was discharged and went home to celebrate Chinese New Year with her family.
Liu Ling Ling, Angie Lau’s sister, shared: “”My sister insisted on going home for the New Year and begged the doctor to inject her with chemotherapy drugs. The doctor said that she could no longer be injected with any drugs, but she was still determined to leave the hospital. When she went home on New Year’s Eve, her body was full of IV drips.”
A Single Mother to Two Children
Lau leaves behind her 19-year-old son, Wu Zunxian (hanyu pinyin) and her 17-year-old daughter, Wu Xuanru (hanyu pinyin). She was a single mother to her two children, who are both currently waiting to commence their polytechnic studies.
According to Liu Ling Ling, the three had a good relationship.
Lau’s children added: “The time spent with our mother was the best. When we were young, we were naughty and would get caned by her. Later, she chose to educate us with love.”
Almost Sold as a Child
Liu Ling Ling also shared about her and Lau’s circumstances growing up.
As the family didn’t have the best of means while the sisters were young, the sisters’ mother had initially planned to sell Lau when she was just a child. However, Liu Ling Ling shared that due to her sister’s sweet nature, her parents eventually did not sell Lau.
And it seems that Lau’s sweet nature lived on even after she became an adult. Liu Ling Ling shared that before Lau passed away, she made several calls to the people who have helped and supported her in her life in order to thank them.
