Career

Pan entered the entertainment industry in 1988 after graduating from the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation's 8th Drama Artiste Training Course.[2] Her classmates in the training course include award-winning actress Huang Biren, Magdeline Chu and Cheng Jian Hui. She made her TV debut with the series, Mystery, Golden Quest, Ups and Downs. She also starred in Strange Encounters II in the same year.

Pan has acted in numerous television series produced by MediaCorp Channel 8 and its predecessors.

Pan was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer in March 2013. She kept her illness from the media initially, revealing only that a cyst was removed from her breast. She approached the magazine 8 Days in May that year for an interview on her illness, but withdrew. Her cancer story was revealed only nearly a year later in the 1,222th issue of 8 Days in late March 2014. Pan is now cancer free.
