Zhang Zetong’s Parents Say They Could Have Bought A Ferrari In Msia With The Money They Spent On He & His Sisters’ Education In Singapore
The Star Search 2019 champ opened up about the sacrifices his parents — they were just joking about the Ferrari — made for him and his two sisters in this week's episode of Hear U Out.
The 28-year-old Malaysian, who studied in Marsiling Primary School, Bukit Panjang Govt High and Anglo-Chinese Junior College, eventually graduated with a business degree from NUS before going on to work as a customer relationship manager at online marketplace Carousell for three years.
That was until fame came knocking on his door, or rather he knocked on fame's door by taking part in Star Search.
On this week’s episode of Mediacorp talk show Hear U Out, Zetong got really emotional talking up about the sacrifices his parents made so he and his siblings could study here.
