TAIWAN'S top cuesports official has warned pool double world champion Wu Chia-ching that there will be 'serious consequences' if the player takes up Singapore citizenship.
For starters, Wu, one of the island's most famous pool players, stands to lose NT$900,000 (S$39,600), said Mr Tu Yung-hui, president of the Taiwan Pool and Billiards Association (CTBA).
If he switches nationalities, the association wants him to return the money, which was given to him as a reward when he won the World 9-Ball Championship and the World 8-Ball Championship in 2005.
| WU CHIA-CHING arrived in Singapore earlier this month as a sparring partner for the Republic's national team.
