Disclosure: This request is submitted at the request of Tay Kewei, Alfred Sim's wife. The research and wording were prepared with AI assistance. Please could an independent editor review these corrections and updates? Sources are linked below; proposed prose is supplied where appropriate.
1. Correct the RE:BIRTH concert year and replace the circular citation
The Musical section currently dates RE:BIRTH to March 2021 and cites the Wikipedia article on Tay Kewei. Please replace that sentence and its circular citation with:
In March 2022, Sim and Tay Kewei staged their joint concert RE:BIRTH at the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands.[1][2]
The Women's Weekly report confirms the concert took place in March; Pro AVL identifies the venue. The Bandwagon 2022 concert guide also lists the dates as 4 and 5 March.
2. Add brief career updates in chronological order
Before the corrected RE:BIRTH paragraph:
In 2020, Sim collaborated with Ian Fang on "王者" ("Wang Zhe"), a single combining Chinese instrumental and electronic music elements.[3]
After the RE:BIRTH paragraph:
In 2024, Sim and Tay released "Light In You", their first original English duet.[4]
In 2025, Sim announced 十年有你 Chapter 10, an anniversary concert scheduled for 15 November at the Esplanade Annexe Studio.[5]
The Chapter 10 source is advance reporting, so the proposed wording deliberately describes the announcement. Arts Republic's event listing corroborates the concert. Please adjust prominence and wording as appropriate.
3. Correct and source the awards table
- Change the Star Awards year for "反话" from 2021 to 2022. The correct entry is: 2022 — Best Theme Song — "反话" from CTRL — Nominated. 8days' 16 February 2022 nominees report explicitly lists this song and Alfred Sim. The same nomination is already repeated under Other Awards; please consolidate it into the Star Awards table rather than retain duplicate entries.
- Retain the existing 2024 entry for "取暖" (with Tay Kewei), Best Theme Song, Nominated, and add CNA Lifestyle / 8days' nominees report as its source. This is a song nomination; please preserve the distinction between performer and songwriter credits.
- The 2017 Star Awards win is also duplicated under Other Awards. Please retain it once in the Star Awards table and remove only the duplicate row, not the separate Asian Television Awards nomination.
4. Update Singles with missing releases
The Singles table currently stops at 2016. Please add the following verified releases, using the linked catalogue sources for basic metadata:
- 4 October 2018 — "如歌". Apple Music.
- 2018 — "愛, 存在" — with Tay Kewei. Shazam release catalogue.
- 5 November 2018 — "默". Spotify release listing.
- 8 January 2020 — "墨墨爱着你" — with Tay Kewei. Apple Music.
- 2020 — "王者" — featuring Ian Fang. The Hear65 interview above documents the single. It is already in Drama soundtrack; it can also be listed as a single if consistent with the article's table structure.
- 26 August 2020 — "因为有你" — with Jaspers Lai and Vee; theme song for 亚洲狼人杀. Spotify release listing.
- 24 September 2021 — "从没想过". Apple Music. This is the single's release date, not a proposed change to the year of its later use in a drama.
- 2023 — "取暖" — with Tay Kewei, theme song for My One and Only. Apple Music artist catalogue. Already listed in Drama soundtrack; avoid duplicating within that table.
- 18 November 2024 — "Light In You" — with Tay Kewei. Apple Music.
- 26 June 2026 — "真相" — with Tay Kewei, insert song for 至死不渝. Amazon Music credits both performers and gives the release date; Apple Music also lists the release.
5. Add missing Drama soundtrack credits
- 2024 — Once Upon a New Year's Eve (那一年的除夕夜) — "念念不忘" — Insert/sub-theme song. Apple Music soundtrack entry and official Cross Ratio Entertainment music video and description. This is Alfred Sim's soundtrack recording, not Tay Kewei's earlier single of the same title.
- 2026 — 至死不渝 — "真相" — with Tay Kewei — Insert song. Sources: Apple Music and Amazon Music catalogue entries above.
Please also remove the stray apostrophe from the existing "2017'" year and close the parenthesis after Tay Kewei in the "以为的以为" credit.
6. Strengthen the Personal life citation
The existing statement that Sim and Tay have three sons is supported by references about only the first two births. Please add the 15 June 2022 Singapore Women's Weekly report to that sentence. No additional personal details about the children are requested.
