Fann is considered a well-respected industry professional in her home country Singapore. She is arguably the only Singaporean actress who has managed to sustain exposure through a consistent body of work in the Greater Asian showbiz arena. It is precisely this overseas success that has made her a de facto representative of the Singapore entertainment industry across Asia. The Chinese media regard her as '新加坡首席女星' (Singapore's top female star), while in Singapore, she is termed an '阿姐' ('Ah Jie', literally translated as 'Big Sister', a term of affection to mean a female celebrity highly respected in the local entertainment scene).
She has a sizeable fan base in Singapore, China, Taiwan and much of Southeast Asia - including Vietnam, where she performed at a concert in 2004. Her duet with British pop group 911, and performances in Shanghai Knights and House of Harmony have boosted her presence back in Asia, where she has garnered an increasing number of meaty roles in co-productions with China film and television companies. Despite her burgeoning overseas success, however, she still remains a committed member of the fledgling Singapore film industry, lending her support to local film productions such as Zodiac, The Race Begins and Jack Neo's Just Follow Law.
