Alistair Cheng Character Analysis

Alistair is Malcolm and Felicity’s youngest child and a known heartbreaker, as he’s wildly handsome. Nobody has ever paid his romances much mind, however, until he announces he’s bringing soap opera actress Kitty Pong to the Khoo wedding—and that he asked Kitty to marry him. Alistair, who’s close with his cousin Nick, is framed as charming and good-natured, if hapless: he doesn’t see any reason why his family would reject Kitty.

“Aiyah, she’s just a pretty girl that Nicky’s having fun with.” Su Yi laughed, as if the idea of him marrying Rachel was too ridiculous to even consider.

“That’s not the way it looks to me,” Alexandra warned.

“Nonsense. Nicky has no intentions with this girl—he told me so himself. And besides, he would never do anything without my permission. Alistair simply needs to obey your wishes,” Su Yi said with finality.
