Chew is 100% Sinkee Hainanese lah! If he is PRC then it would be Zhou
Of course his mandarin accent sounds like PRC after working for Xiaomi and TikTok for years

As a Singaporean, he had done better than all our ministers.
At least he doesn't read from notes or teleprompter. He answered off-the-cuff and think on his feet, without calling others 'idiots' or questioning their schools.
Neither did he tell silly jokes until own self fainted.

I have dealt with mainland Chinese speaking English. Those uni grads who communicate with us in English. Although he is Singaporean, his spoken English is now Chinese accented and he sounds no different from these u grads.
If you close your eyes and hear him speak, you will think he is China Chinese.
RE: Is TikTok CEO Chew Shou Zi Singaporean? Twitter users don’t seem - WhatDoYouThink! - 28-03-2023
Ok lah. At least he din make singlish famous

If you close your eyes and hear him speak, you will think he is China Chinese.

There are many capable SGreans who had excel at home and overseas...and yes, I dare say OCS (..can't say much for some SAF scholars ) have certain influence. Like most SGreans, Chew tend to keep a low profile...until this month's "hearing" in Washington DC.

When you spend most of your time overseas, you going to learn to absorb many cultures and trades...One of which is learning to adapt to local slangs and tone. That will impact on your attitude and views...which allows you to adapt (aka wear different hats) at different time and place.
Why would you expect Chew to use Singlish at the US hearing, when we saw how the hostile the American politicians were and don't even bother to listen ?

Wikipedia says he is born in Singapore in 1983.
But no records of his primary and secondary schools. Maybe his parents are from China?
Who cares? He went to OCS and is now a citizen. Considered a sinkie liao.

He speaks like a Singaporean, be it in Mandarin or English. Can not find the Chinese accent but found the Singaporean behaviour.
Thug life.

Wow! Seems like Hwa Chong produces many talents. Should have let my son study there instead of the lousy school.

If you close your eyes and hear him speak, you will think he is China Chinese.
When I speak to Americans and British I would naturally mimic their accents cos it's easier for the msg to get thru. Perhaps he should have spoken like an American instead of just saying the wife studied nearby etc. Lol
