Local actress gives up citizenship for CPF savings
Local actress Evelyn Maria Ng has given up her citizenship so that she can withdraw her CPF savings.
According to Chinese daily Shin Min Daily News, the Moulmein High (2001) and Light Years (2004) actress has applied for Irish citizenship at the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority. Her mother is Irish.
She was quoted as saying, "I did not give up my citizenship because I don't like Singapore. Actually, I planned to further my studies in New York and needed some money. So I gave up my citizenship in order to withdraw my CPF savings."
The actress, in her 20s, recently starred in a locally-made erotic film, Hush. She played a bespectacled, bookish-looking girl, who is secretly the mistress of her good friend's husband.
The independently-produced 20-minute short film was released last year with an R21 rating. At the time, the producers of the film claimed it was "the most erotic film ever made in Singapore".
Speaking to the paper, Ng, who changed her last name to Alexandria, also said she is setting a public relations company called "Alexandria and Alexandra".
