Jet Li moved to S'pore for kid's education
-
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.
