For new PR & New Citizen, they join the queue behind after all true blue Singaporeans which one forumer has mentioned.

EXACTLY! Even the sibling of PR & New Citizen also join the queue behind all true blue Singaporeans. No phase 1 for PR & New Citizen.

All Singaporean goes to the best school in Singapore while the medicore school are for the PR and Foreigners. Is this the integration that we want? Six years later, the medicore schools produce top students while the 'top' school with all Singaprean slipping down the road.[/quote]It is not as drastic as you think. Afterall Mr Heng mentioned that all schools are the same.

What constitutes a 'New Citizen'? Or should we be upfront and call them second-class citizens....and do they get an income tax and GST discount for not being granted the same benefits?[/quote]As what you have pointed out earlier.....as quote \"The world is flat, may as well get used to it.\" :siam:

And what does that mean in this context.

Question again, where is the basis for creating a 2-tier citizenry, and what criterion do you use, in case I was not clear previously.

Mod, these few posts need to be in the other thread.

BTW, New Citizen's IC is pink? Maybe introduce other than pink & blue to differentiate pink first, new citizen 2nd & PR last?

New Citizen do not serve NS, do they? Why should they be granted some benefits like GST rebates / discount? Moreover healthcare do not have GST exemption, why should any purchases made by them eligible?

I can't even begin to describe how appalled I am by the notion of this.

You all actually think this is reasonable??

Sorry, I am not continuing this conversation.

In my nephew's school, there was this FT grandmother marched to the school insisting that a particular local child to be punished by running around naked in the field for accidentally dirty her one and only precious grandson's shirt. Teacher rejected her and she staged a \"demonstration\" by lying on the road. Well this ugly sides just irks Singaporean.

Stomp stomp..........

This is an interesting observation. Deep down we recognise and acknowledge that the people given PR or foreigners status are usually the cream of crop that make it to Singapore, and inferring further that means they can contribute to Singapore immediately. Yet we do not feel that they deserve the same rights as us when it comes to P1 registration. Why? :? If they are free loaders, maybe then we should be concerned.
