He is a Malaysian living in Singapore. Singapore newspapers never says he is a Singaporean though (they just said “from Singapore” or “local”). But the information is right there in Ding Wen’s web page (http://virtualgs.larwe.com/Virtual_GS/Lim_Ding_Wen.html).

BBC definitely read his web page, and found my blog before they published that article, thus correctly identify him as a Malaysian. Malaysian newspapers take the article from Shin Min and automatically assumed he is a Singaporean.

The story can be found here in my blog:

Hope this help.
