Winners of the competition are awarded up to S$10,000 in cash.[11]


Before the competition, Jade was insecure about her height and altered her diet to achieve a slimmer look so that she could appear taller.[12] However, she felt that she was never penalized for her height during the competition and instead, had gained confidence while learning from her other competitors.[13]


After the competition, she went on to further her career in modelling but eventually did not continue due to the judgements about her height she had faced during castings.[14] Subsequently, as an alumnus of New Face, she was part of the judging panel for TNP New Paper New Face in 2017.

Jade Rasif had revealed that she was pregnant with a baby boy on the episode ‘The Cauliflower Episode’ on ‘Real Talk’ (Youtube video). Her reveal shocked many due to the unnoticeable baby bump she had 7.5 months into the pregnancy. Her unnoticeable baby bump led her pregnancy to be known as the ‘Six Pack Pregnancy’. During her pregnancy, Jade made a video with her sister, Tyen Rasif, who had provided her with a suitable fitness plan.[15]


According to the Youtube video, Jade focused on her core and lower back strength, did more cardio training, and followed a diet plan to consume more protein (Youtube video).

Zouk and DJ Marshmello (2016)

In 2016, a dispute between Jade and her former resident club, Zouk, had arisen due to a misunderstanding during an Ultra Singapore after party. Jade had called out Zouk on social media about a DJ Marshmello imposter at the event that she believed Zouk had knowingly cheated their audience with. However, after a statement released by Zouk, it was clear that the person who had allegedly dressed up as DJ Marshmello was actually a club goer and was not condoned by Zouk. As a result, Jade had been dismissed from her residency at Zouk.[16]

David Rasif (2006)

Jade Rasif’s biological father, David Rasif, is an ex-lawyer and a fugitive wanted by Singapore. In 2006, he had absconded with S$11.3 million of his client’s money and managed to escape Singapore. He is still currently wanted by Singapore for this issue.[17]


In response to the incident, Jade mentioned that she has learnt to embrace the surname ‘Rasif’ as part of her identity. She confirmed that none of her family members have been in contact with David Rasif since he fled Singapore.[18]
