1 more ballot chance during 2010 P1 registration for citizen
-
ApronMama:
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 -

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.
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: -

This is not really true. The kid must also converted to SC, otherwise the above mentioned benefits are not entitled to them. This is also apply for the tax relief -

I totally agreed with this idea. They should exclude PRs from 2B and 2C to give real banefits to citizen.Think it only helps a little.
No use if all the rich PR buys the properties within <1km>1km.
Worst if they actually 'buy' the slot from the school.
Still think they shd exclude PR from 2B and 2C.
If PR wants their child in good schools and then take up citizenships
What for if it is still depends on luck?
It souds like \"double chance\", haha... Not true -

How to \"buy\" the slot fron the school? can you quote some examples?Think it only helps a little.

Agreed. It is one thing to be angry with the government, but another to make such accusation. If you could substantiate your claim with evidence, what you said would garner more support.

Some schools accept donations…

This issue of SC/PR/Foreigner is way bigger than 1 extra balloting slip at P1 registration.
IMO, S’pore, given the nature of our economy and how we drive growth and innovation, cannot afford to be provincial in our outlook. What’s the point of getting admission into your favoured primary school only for your children to graduate 16 years later with no high paying jobs because industry had relocated due to anti-foreigner practices?
The role of the government is to ensure that the citizenry has access to jobs, security, health care and education, and we have that in spades. To posture aggressively and drive micro-policies like balloting for P1, IMO, is petty and narrows the political space for the govt to operate, which in my view is detrimental to good, robust policy making.
I don’t support this measure… -

Some schools accept donations...
But is the donation linked to P1 registration? Any evidence? I am sure ALL schools accept donation of some kind. -

I fully agreed with the above.ooptimizer:

Furthermore, if the donation is link to P1 registration, do u think it is open to PR or foreigner only?
