Carmen Soo Wai Mun (zh-st|s=苏慧敏|t=蘇慧敏) is a Malaysian Chinese fashion model and actress.

Biography

At the age of 17, Soo ventured into modeling and left Malaysia at the age of 20 for Hong Kong, to pursue her modeling career.

At 160cm tall, her petite size is not conducive to catwalk modelling, hence most of her shoots tend to be print and television commercials. [ [http://www.sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=13396 theSun ] ] However, she has had quite a lot of success within that area, gracing many local magazine covers such as NewMan, V Mag, NewTide and NuYou. She also has been recruited as the spokesperson for international watch brand Longines, along with Malaysian theatre personality Paula Malai Ali.

Her latest appearance was a stage play entitled 'The Girl from Ipoh' and a Celcom advertisement with Singaporean singer, JJ Lin. She owns a boutique named 'Kushi' located in Bangsar. Her most recent acting role is in Trio & a Bed, where she is one of the three female leads, together with Amber Chia & Annabelle Kong. The show also stars three other male counterparts as their various and overlapping love interests - Daniel Tan, Jeffery Chong and Danny Wan.

Soo currently resides in Petaling Jaya with her family.

Carmen is also a well-known model in Singapore.

Carmen is also doing a soap with Philippine actor Jericho Rosales to be aired in the Philippines (ABS-CBN) and Malaysia. Carmen can speak fluent Malay, Mandarin and English.

Suspected to have caused the break-up of Jericho Rosales and Heart Evangelista, Carmen (Soo Wai Ming), declared for the nth time on September 12, 2008, that she's innocent: "I'm not guilty. I learned about the break-up more than a month after it happened. If the rumor was true, we would probably be together by now. Jericho is a good friend and a good actor, but not a good tour guide." Carmen is Jericho Rosales' leading lady (with Cristine Reyes and Christopher de Leon) in the ABS-CBN teleserye Kahit Isang Saglit (in collaboration with Malaysia's Double Vision) which premieres, September 15, 2008.
