JESSIE Chung is a fighter.
Over the years, the transgender Malaysian singer-actress has received brickbats from all corners, but that hasn't dented her showbiz dreams one bit.
From disparaging comments about her put-on high-pitched voice to disapproving looks from conservative countrymen who found her 2005 marriage an embarrassing public spectacle, Chung, who is in her mid-40s, has weathered them all.
"I remember after I released a Chinese New Year special album in January (2012), the Internet was abuzz with a barrage of negative comments," said the Kuching native in an interview with The New Paper at Orchard Hotel recently.
"Many people hated the way I sang, complaining that it was nauseating and 'unnatural'. Some went as far as to make personal attacks.
