English translation:Several possible spellings
Explanation:
Unfortunately there are many spellings, even in "Singaporean English," as the city state attracts people from across the Chinese diaspora. Some options:

1. Chao Kuo-wei is a likely spelling, since the name is written in Traditional characters and thus could reflect Taiwanese spelling.
2. Zhao Guowei is the pinyin spelling.
3. Chiu Kwok-Wai would be the Cantonese spelling.
