I have seen anime cosplayers at Suntec wearing big hair wigs. Sometimes the hair is blonde or blue or green.

Looks like the cosplaying subculture has many younger followers here. You can spot them in the downtown area every now and then, walking on the streets. There need not be a cosplaying convention event during that time.

Many fans and horny old men go to these convention as as girls are scantily dressed.

Catherine Tan, a former actress in Singapore known for her calefare (extra) roles in MediaCorp productions like Oh, Carol (2002), Under One Roof (1995), and Durian King, passed away recently, with her death noted in online discussions around December 2024. Her life story, as shared in various Singaporean online communities, reveals a series of tragic events that likely contributed to her mental health struggles, her distinctive choice of wearing a large lion-like wig, and ultimately her passing.

Catherine’s challenges began with the loss of her father, an LTA inspector named Tan, who was one of four victims killed in the Nicoll Highway collapse on April 20, 2004. This incident, a major construction accident during the building of the Circle Line MRT, left a deep mark on her family. Her father’s body was never recovered, which likely compounded the trauma for Catherine, who was in her late teens or early twenties at the time. Online accounts suggest that this loss was a turning point, leading to her struggles with depression. Around the same period, her fiancé reportedly ended their relationship, further deepening her emotional distress. Some sources also mention that her mother faced unspecified issues later, adding to the family’s hardships.

These cumulative traumas appear to have significantly impacted Catherine’s mental health. By the early 2010s, she began wearing a large, lion-like wig, which became a notable part of her public persona. Online discussions, such as those on Reddit and fuckwarezone forums, describe her as a familiar figure in areas like Tampines, Bedok, and Orchard, often seen in public with this distinctive wig. Many speculated that the wig was a coping mechanism—a way to shield herself from the world or seek attention amid her struggles. Commenters expressed sympathy, noting that her behavior suggested unresolved mental health issues, possibly exacerbated by the lack of adequate support following her father’s death and subsequent personal losses. Her blog, Gladly Acquiesced Show Trepidation, reportedly documented her mental decline, though its eerie tone left readers unsettled.

Catherine’s acting career, which began with small roles in local TV sitcoms after graduating from Monash University with a degree in drama and psychology, never took off as she had hoped. She later transitioned to a supporting role in the movie Perth, but her career remained limited to bit parts. The lack of professional success, combined with her personal tragedies, may have further contributed to her mental health challenges. Online communities noted that she appeared to have aged significantly, looking much older than her estimated age of late 20s to early 30s (based on her brother’s age and school timeline), likely due to the toll of her emotional struggles.

Her death in late 2024, as reported in fuckwarezone forums on December 21, 2024, was met with an outpouring of condolences online. While the exact cause of her death isn’t specified in the available discussions, the context suggests it may have been related to her ongoing mental health issues, possibly compounded by physical health decline or other personal circumstances. Commenters expressed hope that she found peace, reflecting on her difficult life with empathy rather than judgment.

Critical Perspective​

Catherine Tan’s story highlights the often-overlooked struggles of individuals in the public eye, particularly those in minor roles within Singapore’s entertainment industry. The narrative around her mental health and the lion wig often frames her as a tragic figure, but it also risks reducing her to a spectacle—something she may have been trying to avoid or confront through her public persona. The lack of professional mental health support in her story is glaring; Singapore’s mental health infrastructure, while improving, has historically been underfunded, with stigma often preventing individuals from seeking help. Her father’s death in a high-profile incident like the Nicoll Highway collapse should have triggered more robust support for the family, yet Catherine’s decline suggests that such support was either inadequate or inaccessible.

Moreover, the online discourse around her wig and appearance—while sympathetic in some corners—also reveals a societal tendency to mock or sensationalize mental health struggles, as seen in comments comparing her to a “hu li jing” (fox spirit) or focusing on her “huge” wig. This reflects a broader cultural challenge in Singapore, where empathy for mental health issues often competes with a pragmatic, results-driven mindset, as seen in the current GE 2025 climate where economic stability often overshadows social welfare discussions. Catherine’s story, while deeply personal, underscores the need for systemic change in how mental health is addressed, especially for those who fall through the cracks after experiencing trauma.

Conclusion​

Catherine Tan, a former actress in Singapore, passed away in late 2024 after a life marked by significant trauma, including the loss of her father in the 2004 Nicoll Highway collapse, a broken engagement, and subsequent mental health struggles. Her distinctive lion-like wig became a symbol of her coping mechanism, though it also drew public attention and speculation about her mental state. While the exact cause of her death remains unclear, her story reflects the profound impact of unresolved grief and the lack of adequate mental health support, painting a poignant picture of a woman who faced immense challenges with little systemic help. Her passing has prompted reflection and sympathy online, highlighting the need for greater compassion and resources for those struggling with mental health in Singapore.

What a pity. All she needed was some mind-blowing sex to fix her mental issues.

While looking at female cosplayers during a fan event at Suntec City back in 2022, then 41-year-old S'porean, Wee Hong Ee unzipped his jeans and rubbed his cock against an unsuspecting cosplayer's backside.

She passed away in Dec 2024 or mar 2025?

So wearing a lion wig is a method to overcome the depression.

Is Gansiokbin dead already?

Unlikely.
Gansiokbin coping method should be of lower scale as the lion wig is smaller in size.

I know of S'poreans who must wear a cap, sunglasses or a face mask as a coping mechanism when they leave home. According to a CNA survey, up to 49% of S'poreans have some form of mental health issue. The rising cost of living and work stress is certainly affecting many of us.

My another coping mechanism is to use my secret code to win money. But end of the day I ain't happy after winning. It's just a short lived happiness, as I know money is not everything in our life, and that our life's are just short lived too.
I think It's depressing for most people, just that most people choose to avoid thinking about it.
