I think this system would be a little help.Sooner the PR's would quickly take up SC then they also have 2 tickets in the baloting.

Ya...then people will cry foul again, and propose that true SC which are born and bred here have priority over immigrant SC.

Smart move on the garmen part, isn't it
Pacify the citizenry a little and tease the PRs with the same carrot at the same time:lol:

I thought in same phase round 1 for SC, round 2 SC & non SC together, like that still SC 2 chances and non SC 1 chances what, hee hee.


SC 2 tickets and non SC 1 ticket in same box like no diff at all leh.

Aiyo, poor thing (children), their fate is really like toto, its like gambling, like casino jackpot too. So gambling is cultivate at quite young age huh?

On the second part of the issue annouced with this, it the school fee diff between SC and non SC is going to get bigger. Hmm... its really costly to educate our young ones (school fee, tuitions, our man hour, school book, extra books, etc). Wondering what will it be like when its our Grand Children time to go school. :lol:

It says \"2 balloting slips\", so should mean 2 balloting slips in the balloting box, rather than the sequence.

Maybe they will change to what you mentioned before the next next election?

Whether yr chance as SC increase significantly depend on the number of PR coming forward to take part in the balloting. Eg. if there are 5 PR 1 SC, with the extra slip, do you think your chance is better than 5 PR? In another case, if PR all stay within 1km and you as SC stay between 1 to 2 km, and only within 1km need ballot than your extra slip wont work.

My impression is that it's not that difficult to become a SC. A friend who has been a PR for years is applying to be a SC for the sake of her daughters. To get subsidy in pre-school and for primary registration.

so the child must become a SC or juz one of parents to be SC? Heard of many instances tat one spouse become SC juz to enjoy the benefits and the other to retain their own country's citizenship.

Also heard that both parents became SC in order to buy HDB flat and enjoy and first timer grant, as well as whatever angbao or Misc fee garman issue to SC. The children continue to be PR usually are boys so that they have a choice not to do NS.

If the parent converted to SC and the kids remain as PR, no benefit will be granted to the kids. S'pore government needs children not the adults.

If both parents become SC and kid remain as PR, the second generation (mean the kid) will also need to serve NS. This policy is apply either the parents convert or not convert.

If both parents converted to SC and the kid remain as PR, the kid will not enjoy any benefit as SC, example, baby bonus, 4 months maternity leave, double chances of P1 registration etc

Same thing.... I had heard most of the PR applied for SC (only one of the parents) to gain the benefits. Is it true that one of them is a SC will do? With that they can gain child care subsidy, SC sch fee etc?? If yes, does it sound that they are still having both worlds?? sigh.... :stupid:
