987 DJ Sonia Chew Says She’s Flattered But Shy To Be The 3rd Most Popular Female Star Among Changi Prison Inmates
She also has a cheeky reply when asked about raising morale in prison.
In a recent interview with online personality and OG influencer Xiaxue, former DJ and YouTuber Dee Kosh, 34, opened up about his time in prison, as well as reveal which female stars are the most popular amongst inmates at Changi Prison.
Dee Kosh, whose real name is Darryl Ian Koshy, was sentenced to eight months in prison last August for committing sexual offences against underaged boys. He was released in March this year.
In the video, he shared that in Changi Prison, the top three female stars are, in descending order — 987 jock Sonia Chew, 31, socialite Kim Lim, 31, and ex Mediacorp actress Fiona Xie, 41.
So, what does Sonia think about that?
Fellow 987 jock Joakim Gomez, 34, asked her that very question in a TikTok video.
As it turns out, Sonia was overseas in Japan when the video was first released, so when Joakim approached her to broach the topic, Sonia immediately burst out laughing.
“How do you feel about being the top 3 desired personalities?” Joakim asked, to which Sonia replied: “Oh gosh, this is so awkward ‘cos you see me at like my weirdest and worst,” before going on to say that she “doesn’t wanna know” what pictures of hers the inmates have pasted on the walls of their cells.
But we’re moving on to the real, um, meat of this article: Sonia’s ‘thank-you’ speech after being named one of the ‘top three’ most popular female stars in Changi Prison.
“You know what, thank you. I’m flattered. It is flattering, but I’m shy about it, so don’t ask me any more,” she said.
Finally, when Joakim broached the idea of Sonia, Kim and Fiona working together with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Singapore Police Force to give talks in prison to “raise morale”, Sonia couldn’t help but get cheeky with her reply.
“I’m not sure if it’s morale that we’ll be raising, if you know what I mean…” she said, before breaking out into a laugh and dashing out of frame.
Now we wonder what the inmates will say about that.
