CHERMAINE PANG

Private Banker at the United Overseas Bank

-

Chermaine Pang and Terence Siew are proud parents to nine-month-old twins, Lucas and Leia. Chermaine, a private banker, juggles work, motherhood and social engagement­s with ease, remaining the epitome of refinement with nary a hair out of place.

Her adorable bundles of joy, she shares, have “completely changed my life and lifestyle. They’re my current priority and I’ve allocated a lot of my personal time to them. I used to travel a lot, but I’ve cut down on it as I cannot bear to be away from them for too long.”

What is the best thing about being a mother? Experienci­ng true, complete, unconditio­nal love. Motherhood has tested me in every way. Being a mother has helped me learn more about myself and made me a better, stronger person.

What does Mother’s Day mean to you?

To me, it’s a special day to celebrate the contributi­on of my mother to the family. This year’s is a special one for me as it’s my first Mother’s Day with my children!

Tell us about your relationsh­ip with your mother. The relationsh­ip a woman has with her mum moulds her into the mother that she is today. My mum always stressed the importance of moral values when I was growing up. Her boundless love, and dedication and devotion to the family inspire me to be a role model to my children.

What do you plan to teach your children when they are older?

I will tell them to remember the importance of moral values, which will determine their actions and influence the decisions they make. And to contribute back to society whenever they can.
