In November 2004, Olsen was appointed as a Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) in Singapore by President SR Nathan,[2] making her the youngest nominated NMP at the age of 27 from the time this program was implemented by the Singapore government. In 2006, she was conferred the Singapore Youth Award for her dedication to the community, youth work and being an inspirational role model.[3] In 2008, Olsen was the proud recipient of the prestigious ASEAN Youth Award[4] and was recently nominated as a Young Global Leader representing Singapore at the World Economic Forum.[5] In the 2010 Youth Olympic Games held in Singapore, she was one of the Flag bearers for the Singapore Flag.[6]

In addition to her entertainment work, she champions causes for people with disabilities, the environment, youth at risks, awareness on cervical cancer and AIDS to name a few.

In March 2009, Olsen was ranked in the top 10 most HAI beautiful politicians in the world by an online poll.[7] In December 2010, US magazine, Esquire, chose her as the sexiest woman in Singapore in their Sexiest Woman Alive Atlas.[8]

Life and career

Childhood and youth

Eunice Olsen was born in Singapore. She is the only child of Alice Yap and Francis Olsen. A Eurasian Singaporean, her mother is Chinese and her father is of Swedish and Portuguese descent. At the age of three, her parents enrolled her into Yamaha music school where she developed her love for music and performing. She attended Woodlands Primary School, Singapore, St. Margaret's Secondary School and Anglo-Chinese Junior College. She completed her degree at the National University of Singapore where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Philosophy.

Miss Singapore Universe

In 2000, Olsen decided to take part in that year's Miss Singapore Universe pageant. She went on to win the title and was sent to Cyprus, for the Miss Universe pageant. Deciding to put her title to good use, she approached the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre and was directed to the Toa Payoh Girl's Home.

Volunteer Work

Her work at the Toa Payoh Girl's Home and Andrew and Grace Home spurred her to seek out other opportunities in youth activities. In 2002, she became a member of the advisory council for the People's Association's youth movement T-Net Club (Teens Network Club). She has also been a member of the Kebun Baru Youth Executive Committee since 2001. Olsen has also worked with many organisations including the Singapore Red Cross, Worldvision, Habitat for Humanity[9] and the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Singapore.

Nominated Member of Parliament

In November 2004, Olsen was appointed as a Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) in Singapore. Her main role as an NMP was to highlight issues pertaining to youth and volunteerism. In the course of her term she touched on issues like access to public transport for the disabled, legislation for child sex tourism, enhancing supervisory guidance for Voluntary Welfare Organizations and sex education. In the parliamentary debate on Integrated Resorts in 2005, Olsen called for stronger measures to address social problems of compulsive gambling, including mandating a loss limit for casino patrons and to require the casino operator to provide responsible gambling counselling services.[10] She also called for the captioning of the Channel 5 English news programme.

Apart from parliamentary duties, Olsen was involved with organisations like the Handicap Welfare Association and became the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre's Youth Ambassador. Her other ambassadorships included Beyond Social Services' BABES program for pregnant teenage mums[11] and the Red Cross national blood program[12] to actively promote the importance of donating blood. Olsen served two terms and remained an NMP until 2009. She did not apply for a third term in parliament.[13]
