ACTION superstar Jet Li has publicly confirmed that he's taken up Singapore citizenship because of the absence of paparazzi here. Li, seen here with Michelle Yeoh, was at the 21st International Association for Volunteer Effort World Volunteer Conference yesterday.

He said he wanted his children to receive a bilingual education here.
"My children can have good bilingual education with social stability, and my children will not be harassed by journalists and reporters," he said in Mandarin.

Li, who was here to attend the 21st International Association for Volunteer Effort World Volunteer Conference, also expressed amusement at the massive public interest in his latest migration.

"It is funny because I have been holding a United States passport and living in the US for 20 years, and nobody said anything about it," he said.

"Now I come to Singapore, everybody seems to be curious to know why I'm coming here."

The Beijing-born Li did not say whether he had renounced his US and Chinese nationalities, but Singapore law forbids citizens from holding dual passports.

He said he decided to settle down in Singapore because of its security and education system, which places equal emphasis on the teaching of English and Chinese.

对有钱人的JET LI 来说，换个国籍不算新鲜话题，正常。

他不需要美国护照吧，想去随时都能去啊~政府不会开这个先例的！他都写说SINGAPOREAN了，不是美国人！说明拿新加坡护照！

but Singapore law forbids citizens from holding dual passports.

请问你有能力管他吗？你费那个心干吗呀？

不然您公布一下李连杰的电话亲自问问才能死心！
你也不是没有确定答案吗？怎么就不许人家说了？那您也消停消停吧~

这个帖子本来就是关于这个敏感的问题的

我只是说有这个可能性

楼上的，李连杰应该是看重了新加坡税率低护照好用才入籍的，如果还保有美国身份，那就是缴不完的税，联邦税，州税，新加坡和美国两边缴，何必呢。

楼上这位，加入新加坡公民时，必须拿到一个文件给ICA。文件是证明申请人已经放弃原来的国籍。该文件是申请者去原来的国家的大使馆申请放弃国籍，大使馆同意后给申请者发的。

知道这种情况，你就不会再问这个帖子里类似的问题了。其他人也不必吵了。想脚踏两只船的人也可以死心了。奇怪，记得有帖子提到这个文件的，怎么这里的人不知道？
