Good news for citizens...

Bad news for PRs...
Dunno how it will play out in the various phases though...
:celebrate:

some PRs will just quit singapore, it will be singapore's loss in the long term, esp those we need the most, in exchange for some Pri One places for citizens

:siam: :siam:

Really meh ? spore only atract people because of Pri registration ? They are here to make a living in this almost developed country. If there are no benefits to be gained here, you think they will come ? And pri registration is definitely a small thing. To be able to make moeny in a stabilised economy is more impt.

Those PRs who quit SG over this will not be SG's loss.... Cos' they are not real talents.
The real talented PRs will be sending their kids to international schs?

Does that mean Jim Rogers' kids would not be in NYPS if this was implemented earlier?

\"A: I've moved to Singapore, my biggest investment is obviously Singapore, my personal investment - we live here, we're permanent residents, my daughter goes to school here...
We've looked at a lot of houses, we're learning more about Singapore. Right now, we have to live within one kilometre of Nanyang Primary, so that our daughter can go to that school...\"

VooVoo:

This is good news! A step forward, but 1 year late (for me that is)

Your child did not get into the school of your choice becos of too many PRs vying for the same school?

But he is now SG citizen. See here

If they find it important, PR will convert for the sake of their kids.

[Daddy D]

Well… Was he SG citizen before or after his kid got into the sch?

Cos’ both reports mentioned year 2009…

Would he or other PRs convert for this reason?
Or look for greener pastures?
Love to hear what they have to say…
