Fish Leong

Fish Leong Ching Yu (, born Leong Chui Peng on 16 June 1978) is a Malaysian singer and actress. Having sold more than 20 million records to date, she has achieved popularity and success in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Early life and breakthrough

Leong was born in Bahau, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia.

Personal life In February 2010, Leong married Taiwanese wine merchant Tony Chao in Boracay, Philippines, and their child Anderson Chao was born in April 2014. On September 8, 2019, Leong announced their divorce at a press conference for her new album in Taipei. She declined further comments on alleged cheating by Chao.

Leong collaborated with singer Eve Ai on a remake of the song “Piao Yang Guo Hai Lai Kan Ni” (“Sea You Soon”), which was used in a campaign advocating the legalization of same-sex marriages for transnational couples in Taiwan.

In an October 2021 mental health forum hosted by a Malaysian NGO, Leong spoke candidly about the mental health challenges she faced during the pandemic and shared the coping strategies she adopted. One method was establishing a daily routine with her young son: she would have him wake up at 8 A.M. to “sit in the sunshine” by the window to draw or read, joking that they would behave like plants basking in sunlight.
