Chew Chor Meng’s wife gifts video with well wishes from celebrity friends for actor’s 55th birthday

The actor also shared a post on his Instagram to commemorate his big day.

“Let’s continue moving forward step by step and keep enjoying the beautiful things in life,” he wrote, adding the hashtags “thankful”, “happy fifty-five” and “(I) can withdraw my CPF already”. 

In 2008, Chor Meng, who’s now battling spinal muscular atrophy, was diagnosed with a rare muscle-wasting genetic disorder known as Kennedy’s Disease.

Doctors then said that the actor only had 18 months to live. Now that 15 years have passed, we can understand why his 55th birthday is such a big milestone for Chor Meng and his family.
