      Should SG-reans renounce their citizenship and come back as a PR?


      Get all the good benefits and no need much liability. For example, no need to serve NS?

        If the SG-reans gets lesser and lesser with the birth rate and all, and PR kids no need to do NS, then does it still make sense for SG-boys to do NS?


        A key argument by the PRs, they too pay tax hence they should have equal rights to all the benefits.

        How about NS?

        Garmen expect us to do NS to protect the interest of the foreigners and PRs? :scared:

              Yes, I have the impression from old (perhaps during the \"quitters\" era) that once you renounced SG-citizenship, don't hope to come back here again. I am sure they won't re-grant the SG-citizenship. But I am not so sure about PR status ie. how about you/your kids just work here and pay your taxes.... 🤷

                      .[/quote]These type of PRs who game d system we don't need.
                      There r also some FTs whose father, mother, daughters gained citizenship status for d benefits
                      but their son(s) opts out so as not to do NS.
                      d ppl who served n feel disadvantaged for giving 2 or more years n subsequent ICTs disrupting work/career n missing promotions r upset with d gahmen for allowing dis to continue.
