      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?
      Have you not read the papers on this? You renounce to escape NS, you think you gonna get PR?

        you think it will be that easily obtained? You spurned your citizenship yet wanna apply for PR?

        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.... 🤷

            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:
            who says PR kids no need do NS ?

                .[/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.

                  Yes, I have read the recent newspapers and what the minister Ng said about this.

                      Yes, PR kids who are born here and citizen need to do NS. Such are \"caught\" as good as the rest of us here. PR who go back to their own countries and their kids not born here escape again. No?

                        Yes, your friend escaped. Have good life here (I presume). And we wait long long for him to have a 2nd generation. That is, if he get married and his kids born here...
