News broke out about 2 weeks ago that Gong Li, the famous-to-Chinese-speakers actress, had become a Singapore citizen. And last Sunday, the Sunday Times ran an article about how Singaporeans are supposedly divided over this bit of extremely important news.
Extract from this gem of an article:
A Sunday Times online poll reveals that only 36 per cent of the 33 respondents think she should give up her China citizenship.
One netizen, Ramzi, wrote on a forum: 'She probably prefers Singapore because we have more freedom and a better quality of life. I have worked in Hong Kong and China and seen life there. It's definitely much better here.'
Fun:
1. More freedom here than in Hong Kong and China? Ramzi must surely
2. 33 respondents?! That's all the people the Sunday Times could get in a week to respond to their online poll and they think it's worth running a second story? Pathetic.
Gong Li is pretty famous all over the world. Not just the Chinese.
ReplyDeleteThat'd really depend on your definition of famous.
