Local actress Evelyn Maria Ng – who starred in "Hush", a locally-produced erotic film – has given up her Singapore citizenship.
Ng plays the lead in "Hush" as a bespectacled, bookish-looking girl who lives a double life as a mistress.
The art house film claims to be "the most erotic film ever made in Singapore" on its Facebook page. It was released last year and was passed by the Media Development Authority without any cuts, albeit with an R21 rating.
The 20-minute short film features several scenes of sexual activity where the actors - Ng, Natalie Faye and and Canadian-Chinese actor Darren E Scott - are seen in varying degrees of nudity.
In an interview yesterday, Ng revealed that she is focusing on setting up a public relations company called "Alexandria and Alexandra" with her good friend.
She says that she changed her surname legally in June from "Ng" to "Alexandria", while her friend changed her name to "Alexandra". The company's name was born after they combined their new names together. Ng claims that her name change will give her company better standing on an international platform.
She also applied for Irish citizenship at the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority – giving up her Singapore citizenship in the process. Her mother is Irish.
"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."
