dispute
Ye Noah’s biggest controversy occurred in 2016, when he was sentenced to nine months in a Singapore Armed Forces detention camp for drug abuse during his military service.
This incident made headlines, and as a public figure, the impact was serious. Noah describes this period as one of the lowest points in his life, facing both personal and professional repercussions.
While in detention, he struggled with isolation and shame, especially when other prisoners and military personnel recognized him because of his public persona.
Noah said the hardest part was seeing the pain he caused his family. This reflection led him to turn to Christianity and he began taking faith classes while in detention.
He was released after six months for good behavior. However, after being released from prison, Noah encountered difficulties re-entering the entertainment industry as many people were hesitant to hire him due to his criminal record.
He struggled to find work for several months, but eventually he was offered a chance by Tony Leung and others in the industry, who cast him again in “The New Boys 4.”
Since then, Noah has used his experience as a testament to redemption and resilience, often sharing his story to discourage others from making similar mistakes.
