I believe that many Singaporeans would welcome Gong Li with open arms. I mean, rebut me, but what’s there not to like about the highly credited Asian beauty? To be frank, I’ve heard her name since I was of a very young age. The pride of the Asians would definitely go to Gong Li without any hints of debate – that’s of course if my parents were the judges, and if there was such an award. The culmination of Gong Li’s career credentials is not one that many in the world can beat in the aspect of fame and riches in the entertainment industry in Asia.
Gong Li’s entrance would be of one that propels Singapore’s name further across the globe, boosting our reputation. Increased media attention internationally is an understatement. Her reasons for applying to become a citizen of Singapore would be highly watched, and probably shared by others. Her entry may well bring more tourists and an influx of foreign talents into Singapore. A big plus would be her fat, enticing paycheck. Not only will Singapore have an addition to the list of billionaires, but also a boost to the nation’s revenue via tax collection. Its good-bye recession, and hello bonuses.
However, will China bear to forgo such a gold nugget? What will then be China’s response on this issue? Her glory would be difficult to establish or give credit to either countries. Diplomatic ties between Singapore and China must be managed well.
I am in favor that Gong Li takes up Singapore’s citizenship, but all said and done, the main crux of the issue remains, is that “Gong Li” the “Gong Li’ that we’ve all been referring to.
