He represented the Malayan Chinese at the all-China Games in Shanghai in 1939, so we must assume he orginated in Singapore. He was selected for the Chinese team at the 1948 and 1952 Olympics (the Taiwan team did not compete at Helsinki for political reasons), and then for Singapore in 1956. I class him as Singaporean throughout his Olympic career.
