SINGAPORE – One of Singapore’s most well-known celebrities, South Africa-born model Wendy Jacobs, has taken up Singapore citizenship.
The 46-year-old, alongside about 200 other new citizens, received her certificate and pink NRIC on Sunday (Jan 12) at the Ang Mo Kio GRC and Sengkang West SMC Citizenship Ceremony.
Ms Jacobs, who underwent an operation to remove a brain tumour in June 2012, has lived here for 24 years and is married to Singapore football icon Fandi Ahmad, 57. The couple have five children.
In a Facebook post, Dr Intan Azura Mokhtar, an MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, wrote: “I am glad Ms Wendy decided to take up Singapore citizenship.
“She has contributed much to Singapore, not just as a wife and mother, but also through her past work in the modelling and entertainment industry, stints as emcee and host for events, as well as teaching personal and corporate gourmet etiquette at ITE College Central for a period of time.
