The ladies of 'When Duty Calls': Jasmine Sim, Paige Chua, Felicia Chin
from toggle sg online
Two of the roses among the thorns are Felicia Chin and Paige Chua, who play a combat medic and navy captain respectively.
Felicia, who now sports drastically cropped locks (courtesy of celebrity coiffurist David Gan), jokingly complained that her hair is now shorter than that of boyfriend Jeffrey Xu’s, but gushed about how much easier it is to take care of. The makeover was suggested by her stylists, who thought it would suit her and her character.
Besides the mane change, the 32-year-old is also watching war films, such as Hacksaw Ridge, to prepare for her role. She also plans to bulk up slightly in order to look more convincing as a fit army medical officer.
When we asked Paige why she didn’t follow in Feli’s footsteps and go for a short cut, the 35-year-old actress shared that it wasn’t her call. “I also thought I would need to look like a tough cookie, but my character, while firm and fierce when she’s on duty, is actually very gentle and feminine,” she said.
Paige also revealed a surprising fact about herself: before she went into modelling, she considered joining the military, and even applied to become a paramedic (however, she was rejected). “I was physically active so while I don’t think I’d made a perfect soldier, I wouldn’t be too bad!”
When Duty Calls premieres July 31, 9pm on Channel 8.

What scene are you filming today?
Today’s a pretty important scene, we’re having outfield training today. I play a combat medic in the show, so I’m here as a trainer today. Later, I’ll have to “save” a trainee who sustained some injuries. I felt quite disappointed actually, as I really want to try wearing the camouflage face paint on Romeo and Desmond’s faces! I kept asking the director, “Are you sure I don’t need to apply the camouflage paint?”
Is there anything special that you’ll prepare for outdoor shoots?
On the first day I went to the camp for filming, I actually brought my pink umbrella along and used it everywhere I went. After a while, I felt bad and slightly embarrassed, as I was in full army uniform, and I felt that I had to respect the people in the camp as well. So for this show, I try to use my umbrella lesser.
Other than my umbrella, I actually brought along a foldable chair, as there’s a long wait in between each scene sometimes. I also have my bible and a portable fan with me.
I don’t really bring a first aid kit as the crew has one, but Pierre actually has his own first aid kit that he always brings along with him! But, most of the medication inside are actually expired, so we always laugh at him [for that].
What’s the most challenging scene so far?
I don’t have a lot of action scenes actually, the earthquake scene is the only “action” scene that I have.
[During that scene], I had to push Desmond aside to save him, and ended up getting squashed by a shelf.
I felt that the earthquake scene was quite a pity for me, as there’s quite a bit of CG (Computer Graphics) involved. Romeo and Desmond had to react and pretend that there were cracks appearing here and there as they ran. But, as I had fainted, I cannot react at all.
Did you sustain any injuries from filming?
We filmed the earthquake scene three days ago, and my neck still aches now! My character fainted during the scene, so Desmond and Romeo had to carry me out. [As I had fainted], I have to make sure my body is relaxed, even when they run out! Desmond is pretty built as well, so it hurts when they run with me.
Which guy is so lucky to get her to conduct CPR on him?
Paige Chua looking cool on "When Duty Calls".
Paige looks mighty smart in her navy uniform, doesn't she?
Paige recommended everyone to check out the E-Mart at the camp, singing the praises of the backpacks and haversacks there.
