verykiasu2010:

[quote=\"dimsum\"]why can't she renounce it now?

not yet 21 y/o

Pardon my ignorance, so it has to be 21 yrs old for renouncement and cannot be earlier?[/quote]yes, must be above 21, to be capable of adult decision

parents cannot denounce on her behalf

that is why she has dual citizenship now ..... allowed up to 21st birthday

similarly for the PR boys doing NS = they can only denounce after they reached 21

so don't accuse them of 'want the best of both world', 'insincere', etc....by operation of law, they can't prove their patriotism

it take a lot to keep people rooted to a place ........ :scratchhead:[/quote]she can't keep both

she has to throw one upon reaching 21, by law

I don't regard her a FT since she has been here since 4

it is just like some singaporeans holding US / OZ / etc citizenship as well, before reaching 21, because they happen to be born overseas

yap she cannot keep both citizenship in SG ......
She may eventually become a FT if she chose C
instead of SG.........but she will have to keep SG as
she is serving her scholarship pass 21?? ................
she got a window to decide?? :scratchhead:

upon reaching 21, must renounce one citizenship

if she renounces SG citizenship, the scholarship will be terminated immediately, and I believe there is LD to be paid too

Our forefathers had an easier time then when they arrived in Sg. Not so much FT vs locals issues :rotflmao:

So she’s a Singapore PR and a Chinese Citizen? She can’t be a Singapore Citizen too can she?
