Born in Singapore, Chuan Jie, like any other Singaporean male, went through various education institutes and served the army for two years in between.
Chuan Jie is also a Christian who is worshipping in a Reformed Church. He was baptised in January 2024 and now seeks to live for the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is the only One that saves (Acts 4:12).
In case you do not understand Singaporean ethnic Chinese names, “Tan” is the last name, while “Chuan Jie” is the given name. In some of the socials, you may see “Chuan-Jie” instead. This is to avoid confusion by pairing the 2 words together, as “Jie” is also part of the given name, and not the middle name.
