Controversy
Noah Yap’s biggest controversy occurred in 2016 when he was sentenced to nine months in the Singapore Armed Forces detention barracks for drug consumption during his National Service.
This incident made headlines, and as a public figure, the repercussions were severe. Noah described this period as one of the lowest points in his life, facing personal and professional fallout.
While in detention, he struggled with isolation and shame, particularly as other inmates and military personnel recognized him due to his public profile.
The hardest part, according to Noah, was seeing the pain he caused his family. This moment of reflection led him to turn to Christianity, and he began attending classes on faith during his detention.
After six months, he was released for good behaviour. However, upon his release, Noah faced difficulties reentering the entertainment industry, as many people hesitated to hire him due to his criminal record.
For several months, he struggled to find work, but eventually, he received opportunities from Jack Neo, who cast him again in Ah Boys to Men 4, and from other figures in the industry.
Noah has since used his experience as a testimony of redemption and resilience, often sharing his story to discourage others from making similar mistakes.
