A woman who suffered severe burns after attempting to save her fiance from a burning car in Tanjong Pagar in 2021 will be making her return to the getai stage five years after the accident.
Raybe Oh, 32, suffered burns that covered over 80 per cent of her body during the fire, but is finally ready to make her singing comeback, reported Shin Min Daily News.
She will be making a guest performance organised by Zhenghua Community Club on Friday (Feb 27) at the community space next to Bukit Panjang’s Greenridge Shopping Centre.
Following the fatal crash which happened during Chinese New Year in 2021, the former flight attendant had to be hospitalised for four months and even had to be intubated to breathe.
Running, singing in the bathroom
Singing became hard for Oh after the accident, especially as the skin at her chin and neck became hard, which made it difficult for her to even sing basic tunes, she told Shin Min.
At the same time, she said that her lung capacity limited her ability to sing, but that years of practice have helped her overcome the challenge.
She started running about a year ago, and now runs three times a week for half an hour before singing in the bathroom for 20 minutes to practise.
