Yes, say more than half of S’poreans in straw poll of 100

HOW much are Singaporeans willing to fork out to kiss a celebrity?

Up to $100,000, it seems – for a smooch with local actor Adrian Pang.

At least, that’s the highest figure quoted by a Singaporean in our random poll of 100 – never mind that she’s a student and doesn’t actually have the money.

She says she would definitely cough up the sum if she could afford it.

The New Paper polled 50men and 50 women, aged between 16 and 35, to find out if Singaporeans would do the same.

While those we spoke to weren’t so generous – the highest figure quoted was $100,000 – more than half (64 per cent) said they would be quite happy to cough up some cash to kiss their favourite celebrity.

The rest, however, said they would rather give the money to a charity instead.

And whose lips scored?

The top five celebrities for women were Adrian Pang, James Lye, Tay Ping Hui, Pierre Png and Elvin Ng.

For the men, it was Fiona Xie, Felicia Chin, Fann Wong, Denise Keller and Rui En.
