Collin Chee

Collin Chee (born 24 January 1967) is a Singaporean businessman, actor and former Singapore national football team assistant manager.

Early life and education Chee is of Hainanese descent.

Chee was educated at St. Teresa's High School where he took his N-levels.

Chee left showbiz in 1996 after making headlines a year prior for his controversial performance in the local series The Teochew Family. In an interview several years later, Chee recalled that he had "screwed up big time" and once had to repeat a scene for more than 30 times until a cameraman from Hong Kong shouted at him in Cantonese - "What's wrong with you? Film all finished up already!" (sic). His co-star, late veteran Hong Kong actor Kenneth Tsang, was also "super" critical of him to the press upon the release of the series. Chee also revealed that on the set, Tsang had initiated conversations with him and questioned him if he had any intention to make acting his lifelong vocation at that point in time.

On 20 June 2023, it was announced that Chee was cast in the film I Not Stupid 3, directed by Jack Neo.

Football career Around 1993, Chee was also Singapore national football team's assistant manager on a volunteer basis and coached football at Chung Cheng High School (Main) and St. Gabriel's Secondary School, and was also the assistant secretary of the Singapore Soccer Coaches Association.

In the late 1990s, he was president of Tampines Rovers in the National Football League (NFL) Division One and a council member of the Football Association of Singapore (FAS). He also managed the Singapore National Under-19 squad and coached soccer at Temasek Polytechnic. In 1999, he left FAS and dissolved his business ventures. Shortly after, he established TouchWood, an official football pub for Liverpool F.C. supporters located at Maxwell Road, and launched Football Update (足球至尊), a bilingual magazine that published tips for punters which ended its operations in 2006.

In August 2015, Chee was asked by a former footballer from Tampines Rovers FC to set up a football team for the movement Dads for Life, which he managed and launched in June 2016.

Business career In 2007, Chee decided to leave the football scene and later began a job at an international headhunting firm, SearchWorks. He left after almost three years and moved to Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia in 2009, working in the marketing department of food distribution company PT Alamjaya Wirasentosa.
