Jackie Chan donates antique collection to Singapore's fourth university

 

International superstar Jackie Chan donated his antique collection worth about S$100million to Singapore's fourth university which is estimated to start in 2011.

 

Chan's property agent in Singapore, Simon Kwan, verified the news to local press but is unable to certify how much the donations are worth.

 

Chan started collecting antique buildings 20 years ago, eight of them are old houses and old stages of the Ming and Qing dynasties with at least 200 years of history.

 

He had actually wanted to donate the structures to the Hong Kong government but they took too long in replying so Kwan suggested donating to Singapore instead.

 

Kwan also specially flew to Hong Kong to understand the artifacts before suggesting to the Singapore authorities. Chan finally decided to donate his antique collection to a Singapore new university which will open in 2011.

 

According to reports, the new university, which will be located at Upper Changi near the Singapore Expo, will offer degrees in Design and Construction, Engineering, Business and Information Technology course.

I think all hongkongers will only laugh at you when they hear this. Singapore? What a joke. Singapore is nothing compare to hongkonger's hot destination like Canada for retirement.

 

Your shallow thing aside. With his reputation, do you think he needs to make such an act in exchange for what you said at all? Of course, no need lah. I think if he wants such thing, Singapore will rush for it without 2nd thought. Let alone his wealth can make investments anytime anywhere.
