SHANGHAI - Jet Li, 47, settled in Singapore for the education
system, he said in an interview with an entertainment
website.
At the Shanghai International Film Festival for the world
premiere of his film Ocean Heaven on Monday, he told
reporters that he took up Singapore citizenship so that his two
daughters can get a Chinese-English education here.
He said he lived in China and US for many years, and also looked
at Australia and Switzerland, but settled in Singapore primarily
because it is a place "they can learn" and he can work "without
worrying about them".
The superstar took up Singapore citizenship last year. He and
his wife Nina Li Chi bought a
bungalow in Bukit Timah in June
last year for $19.8 million.
He is not the only well-known personality to move to Singapore
for his children, American investor Jim Rogers also said he moved
to Singapore as he
wanted his children to
learn Chinese.
So super rich no need to migrate and no need to change passport
lah....Can stay anywhere like 1 month in carribean, 1 month in
Singapore, 1 month in china and USA blah blah blah....
Education and learn chinese in Singapore? Big Joke...Send
their children to International (American) school.....
At least Jim Roger send their children to SG Local
school.....
Why Singapore passport? Tax rates, Crime rate,
bureaucracy, statutory, ease of travel, personal safety.
Especially you have 2 young girls.
Many Why's that not so convenient to talk to the press lah.
