Mediacorp actor Chew Chor Meng is one of the toughest actors we know.
After being diagnosed with a rare muscle-wasting genetic disorder known as Kennedy’s Disease in 2008, the now 55-year-old did not let his condition beat him down.
Not only is he still active in showbiz, Chor Meng also has a number of flourishing F&B businesses, such as a Thai Mookata chain 888 Mookata and two Tam Chiak Kopitiams, which he co-owns with Love 972 DJ Dennis Chew and food blogger Maureen Ow aka Miss Tam Chiak.
Basically, the Star Search 1990 champ has been doing whatever he can to live his life like any other ordinary person.
Unfortunately, his positive outlook is still not enough to stop others from leaving hurtful comments about his condition.
Earlier today (Sep 27), the actor suddenly took to his Instagram Stories to address online trolls.
"If I had a choice, would I want to be sick?" he wrote.
"After seeing comments like '[You have a] sickly face [which makes people] lose their appetite', I finally realised our society is sick too," lamented Chor Meng.
Though Chor Meng did not go into detail about what happened, it can be inferred that he must have received unkind remarks about his appearance and illness.
Seriously, is it so hard for some people to be kind?

It’s a free world people can say what they like. He being in the media should know that

He will look much more handsome when he goes six feet under, which is soon. The funeral director will make doll up his ass with lots of makeup.

Media ppl also know how to stay in limelight, in the case as a victim.

You are a celebrity.

The people who criticized your appearance are the same group of people who helped catapult you to stardom when you were at your prime.

As a celebrity, you accept both praises and criticisms because you are the product, and the public, the consumers. This is called 媒体伦理：you live by the sword, you die by the sword. It has nothing to do with your sickness.

There are ways to avoid negative comments - you can choose NOT to be a celebrity and stay out of limelight. If you want to use your celebrity status as a leverage for your business, then you must accept criticisms in the same way you accept encouragement.

What you should NOT do is to use your sickness to attack your dissidents. This is called 道德勒索.
