Singapore Airlines (SIA) cabin crew Nur Surya Binte Mohamed Ambiah had to keep mum for six months about her involvement with Madame Tussauds Singapore, but earlier today all was revealed — her likeness has been immortalized as a wax figure at the museum, representing the Singapore Girl.
Looking exactly the same as its real-life model, the wax figure was created in three months in London. Nur Surya was selected out of the many cabin girls — who must have vied hard to be honoured by wax — for her warmth, poise, humility and good grace. The selection process for the best person to represent the wax figure reportedly took the committee over a year to decide.
"Even now, I'm not sure I deserve such an honour", she told Singapore Airlines travel magazine Silverkris.
The museum had approached SIA regarding plans to create a fresh wax figure for their Singapore museum in Sentosa, as their previous SIA flight attendant figure was sculpted way back in 1993.
