Meet the People

Alas, the Gentle Warrior and her muse could not possibly keep 10 acres of farmland humming, tables waited, events planned, dishes clean, and bananas well-maintained. Meet the multinational multitudes of ladies and gentlemen that form Bollywood Battalion: the team responsible for making the farm its many facilities tick like clockwork.

Reporting directly to the Gentle Warrior Ivy Singh, this unit is directly responsible for the core of operations. From left to right: Candy “The Controller”, Wong, administrator extraordinaire; Zai “The Desk Ninja”, personal assistant; Jane “The Governess” Choi, in charge of all event and tour operations; Uncle Mohammad “The Kapitan”, driver of all things vehicular (as the Warrior does like her Chardonnay).

Making sure Poison Ivy Bistro serves up the specials are the Bistro Unit, comprised of Felix Yeo “The Gatekeeper”, host of the domain; Oh Siew May a.k.a. “The Good Samaritan”, carrier of souls and food; Irene Kwek “The Grainkeeper”, and one of Bollywood’s long-time dedicated staff; “The Craftsman” Teh Yong Kang, keeper of dishes, savior of silverware; and of course Debra who puts the “super” in Supervisor of Food and Beverage.

Under the careful watch of cordon Bleu Chef de Cuisine and head of culinary programmes Lynn Ee (a.k.a. “The Little Scorpion”), the kitchen runs like a tight ship. The Chinese trio of Chun, Liu and Zhu keep all pots percolating, rice cooked to perfection, and fresh lemongrass at on-demand.

Nothing would be green without the Farmers Unit, comprised of multinational team of shovel slingin’, rake toting infantry: Ratan, Ajay, Rippon, Poran, and Joy. These guys make it all look easy, where one afternoon tackling the trees would kill the average man. They are the muscle and the mojo behind all the greenery.

The Tour and Events Unit reports directly to Jane the Governess. They’re responsible for taking all Bollywood visitors on frolics around the green acres… as well as helping put on a really great party! Consisting of Xuele, Shuping, and Helena -- a.k.a. “Bolly’s Angels”—this group is one you’re likely to be in contact with when you visit.

As the Warrior's personal "handmaidens", Susan and Josephine are the maids in charge of the abode, keeping things spotless and under control.
