Career

In 1981, Li joined Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC). In August 1991, after filming Jealousy Potion 100, Li applied to have an early termination to his acting contract with SBC and to transfer to the voice dubbing department.[3] After eight months, in April 1992, he resigned from SBC.[3]

After leaving SBC, Li opened a shop with friends selling Buddhist equipment at Balestier Shopping Center.[3][4] The shop was eventually closed down in 1998 after the shop lease had finished and business was poor.[4] Li was then invited by the producer and writer of Riding the Storm to act in the drama.[4]

He left Media Corporation of Singapore (rebranding of SBC) in 2003 due to migraine.[1]

In 2004, Li joined SPH MediaWorks.[1]
