Sun Koh is the 3rd and illegal offspring of a family of Teochew cooks during an era of Singapore’s two-child policy. Her poor hawker parents were slapped with a state fine for giving birth to her in 1977. She didn’t speak a word till 4 years old and is making up for lost time.
Sun studied Mass Communication at Ngee Ann Polytechnic (1994-1997) to become a journalist but became a filmmaker instead.
