April 22Apr 22 Bonny Susan Hicks (5 January 1968 – 19 December 1997) was a Singapore model and writer. After garnering fame as a model, she gained recognition for her contributions to Singaporean post-colonial literature and the anthropic philosophy conveyed in her works. Her first book, Excuse Me, Are You A Model?, is recognised as a significant milestone in the literary and cultural history of Singapore. Hicks later published a second book, Discuss Disgust, and many shorter pieces in press outlets, including a short-lived opinion column in a major Singaporean daily that was pulled due to public dissent from Singaporean traditionalists.Although Hicks was deemed controversial by many during her lifetime because of her willingness to openly discuss human sexuality. Singaporean literary scholars today deem her voice as a pivotally important one for interpreting contemporary Singaporean society. -- source: alchetron Hicks died at age 29 on 19 December 1997 aboard SilkAir Flight 185 when it crashed into the Musi River on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. -- source: wiki
