SINGAPORE - Born in Japan, he had his Singapore citizenship revoked eight years ago, but managed to reapply and eventually become Singaporean again.
Today, Mr Ryuju Ogawa, who works in the finance sector and will turn 30 at the end of the month, is happily married, with a four-year-old daughter, and a Build-To-Order (BTO) Housing Board flat to come.
