I have specially posted Jeanette's reply to that evening newspaper's article (titled: '安排欧萱演哑巴 《小娘惹》剧组刻意‘藏拙’) here because there are many supporters on this blog. It is important you all get the full picture. Some reporters have chosen to 'hide' their 良心 and deliberately picked a negative stand against the artiste (probably making an assumption that all readers are 变态 and would want to read only negative things).
Jeanette's dual roles were created even before they invited anyone to audition for it. It is just evil to cast a doubt and wipe out her effort (including all of our effort behind-the-scene). I support Jeanette because it is obvious she has evolved from the past and become a much better artiste as evident in her effort in 'The Little Nyonya'. Are you with Jeanette? Here's her response from her blog taken off from 'The Little Nyonya' official website (http://littlenyonya.mediacorptv.sg/blogs.htm):

i arrived back in singapore late last night.. and was greeted with some news. in fact, i did the phone interview that same afternoon while i was still in perth. i thought i wanted to blog about it.. but i guess you guys beat me to it..
something that bordered on assumptions.. which effectively (indirectly) demolished my two characters and erased all my efforts. an assumption which also questioned the professionalism of a strong production team. a conclusion that was made even before my speaking character and also my second role appeared.
how did it feel?
it stinged.
it hurt so very much.
it somehow hurt so much also because the viewing of the entire drama hadn't even been completed, and yet there was such a comment that was very cruelly made.
however, i am thankful that as i logged on to this blog, i read comments that encouraged me. also in paul chan's blog

and my own blog

i just want to thank all of you who believe in me. in fact, before i even started filming and working on this project, i had all your encouragements in mind. i had the production team in mind.. because you all believed in me, i wanted to do this such that i won't let you down. because you all believed in me, your encouragements built a very strong foundation for me to work upon. so i want to thank all of you. for standing by me.
because you all continue to believe in me, it lifted the pain of these remarks. i cried, i let it out, but now i've recovered from it. so thank you all..
