I'm sorry but I don't know the background of this person. He is just a name on a show. Thanks.
Simin Tan Apr 13, 2016:
The short answer: It depends. More context needed. Multiple Chinese dialects and romanization methods in use in Singapore.

If this is a PRC citizen/person of PRC origin, pinyin will do.

Several possible spellings

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.
