Zhang Yuanyuan
Zhang Yuanyuan's IC shown on TV
A Chinese national who lived and worked in Singapore was featured on Chinese national TV for her participation in the recent 60th anniversary celebrations
Zhang Yuanyuan, 28, had studied and lived in Singapore for five years and obtained permanent residency. According to Shin Min's report on Monday, Zhang taught Chinese in Singapore and earned about $4,000 a month.
It was reported in the Chinese evening dailies that upon receiving her permanent residency, someone had told her to consider taking up Singaporean citizenship as well and her answer was: "Beijing is my home."
Zhang is known to have contributed to her country during a snowstorm disaster in the north and during the Beijing Olympics in 2008, she decided to return to her homeland. She also accepted a job that paid much lesser.
During an interview where she allowed her Singapore IC to be photographed, she said she wanted to join China's women's militia contingent because her greatest wish was to repay the motherland.
Shin Min Daily interviewed a few MPs and this is what they have to say:

Netizens should not overreact because Zhang is a PR and still retains her Chinese passport. Hence, China is still her home. In fact, there are a number of Singaporeans who are PRs in another country and they visit Singapore on a frequent basis. Should we then turn them away?Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC's Ms Josephine Teo
As a globalized nation, such situations will occur frequently and we must learn to accept that this is the case.Tanjong Pagar GRC's Mr Baey Yam Keng
Zhang grew up in China and her entire family is there. Perhaps family ties are more important to her now than before.Watch the CCTV news report here.

ReplyDeleteWhat's so wrong with Zhang Yuanyuan doing her "national service" freely with love unlike the many singaporeans here who gripe about doing NS every now and then?
Genial dispatch and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement. Gratefulness you on your information.
ReplyDeleteWell I acquiesce in but I think the post should prepare more info then it has.
ReplyDeleteTheres nothing wrong with her being loyal to her country. It is her country after all.
ReplyDeleteThe problem lies with our government whose policies favour ppl with loyalty to other countries instead of ours. a singapore PR or citizenship is meaningless when it can be gotten so cheaply. The govt should take note of this and realise that it is only singaporeans who can be loyal to singapore and not these foreign talents that they woo at all expenses.
