I'm a little disappointed that this would be posted and not include a commentary about the number of reasons that he would have for doing this.

It seems rather useless to simply troll government websites for "revealing" data and make no other comment about it. We can add nothing to this data point beyond conjecture without understanding why a person makes this decision.

EDIT: So people have figured out that he's moved to Singapore and married a Singaporean, which makes perfect sense given their stance on citizenship in general.

I know a Singaporean - they don't like losing citizens. Namely, because of the extensive government involvement in their lives in the form of everything from social services to national ID cards to military service. The approach is a much different path of democracy than what we'd be used to in North America.

He didn't marry a Singaporean. His wife was born in India.
Good point, his wife is Tamil. I didn't delve into his personal details with great gusto. :-)

In that case though, given Singapore, it's a good middle ground between India and the US culture wise.
