Career
Lee joined TCS (predecessor of MediaCorp) after winning the bi-annual Star Search in 1993.
At the Star Awards 2006, Lee was awarded the Best Actress award for her role as a lawyer in the drama serial Family Matters. Before that, she was also crowned for the Best Actress another two times. The first in 2000, and then in 2004. That was a feat only matched by fellow actress Huang Biren (However, Huang still wins if nominations for Asian Television Awards are taken into account).
Later in her career, Lee was known for her partnership with veteran actor Edmund Chen, most notably in Beyond the Axis of Truth and Double Happiness. At the Star Awards 2007 anniversary special celebrating 25 years of Chinese drama in Singapore, they were named one of the Top 5 Favourite On-screen Partners for their roles as husband and wife in Double Happiness.
Lee left the entertainment industry in November 2009 and moved to Hong Kong with her family.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
