  • How many people can say they've performed on the biggest stage in Singapore, in front of millions of viewers? We think Nathan Hartono sure has bragging rights. After all, he sang last year's National Day Parade song "Where I Belong" on the Marina Bay floating platform. We asked the Indonesian passport holder which country he identifies with most.

    Some Singaporeans, especially those chee nah mentality who's ignorant and small, when they come across a Singaporean's name is not something like Tan Beng Seng, Hafiz Osman or Muthu Lingam, they will surely say oh, he's not a pure Singaporean. That's what they did to Schooling and Elizabeth Li.

    He born and stay in Singapore of course he is a Singaporean now.... What's the problem if he leaves Indonesia? It's not what he can decided, his parents moved to Singapore before he was born 🙄... Bukankah org Indo jg bny yg imigrasi ke negara lain? 😅 Biarlah manusia membuat keputusannya sendiri, qt urus Aja diri Kita

      This is why sometimes I get annoyed with Chinese Indonesians. They wanted themselves to be accepted by the indigenous Indonesians, but instead they move to another country and change their nationality while still carrying their Indonesian name.

      Kaitlyn got JAMS i never talked about him specifically did i? i was talking about the "Chinese Indonesians" aka his race. Well, i don't really blame him for having an Indonesian blood but born in Singapore.

      What I think is his roots are Indonesian. Oh, PRCs, please don't say what roots in China. Nathan Hartono's cultural traits at home are Indonesian. Indonesian is his mother tongue and he finds proximity with his family and relatives when they all converse in their mother tongue. Like me, when there is a gathering of my relatives, we're are brought together by our mother tongue, Cantonese. Their home-cooked food must also be Indonesian cuisine. However, once he's outside the family, he is a true-blue Singaporean.

      Philippines' Corazon Aquino Cojuanco, who was 100% ethnic Chinese. She could speak Chinese. So what? Her family is one of the richest and most powerful families in the Philippines and she was the first woman president in Asia. There's been 17 Thai prime ministers who are ethnic Chinese who cannot speak Chinese. If your ancestors had migrated to Indonesia, you would not be able to speak Chinese. Don't be so superficial, Ah Lian.

      So you're a Chinese and how efficient is your Chinese? How much do you know about Chinese literature?

      Just because a person is ethnically Chinese does not mean he has to speak a Chinese language (fluently).There are lots of Japanese in Brazil who don't speak Japanese, and lots of Germans in the United States who don't speak German. In Nathan's environment, maybe Chinese wasn't spoken all that much. He probably spoke English and Indonesian at home, which is perfectly fine. If you're Singaporean Chinese, you probably don't speak Mandarin as fluently as those who are native to Beijing. To them, you might be the most ang mo thing they've seen (and heard) and they'll probably despise you as well. So broaden your mindset and embrace diversity.

      I'm assuming you're trying to say he can't carry the Hartono name if he doesn't consider himself as Indonesian. Well, first, Hartono is not a Javanese name, it's a Chinese Indonesian name. Secondly, yes he actually can carry that name even if his nationality is not Indonesian. You know there's a lot of Indonesians in the Netherlands? They still carry their Indonesian names there. Are you saying that is not ok?
