A lot of Malaysians remained Malaysians after decades of holding a PR here, and refused to convert....
Many Malaysians want to remain as PRs of Singapore, cos what they earn here are 3times more than what they get in Malaysia. After collecting their CPF money and savings, the plan to retire in Malaysia, buy a bungalow and lived like a king. To be a Spore PR has many advantages........

Many here r still stucked with v old mindset..
Nowadays, u all know or not, v difficult to get citizenship...many PRs tried n tried but failed in their application unless they have a property here , a family nucleus n must b an asset contributor to our economy...no more suka suka become a citizen.
Tiny dot is still the best safest place for asians from cradle to the grave.
Dont believe, grass is greener on the other side...big cars, big bungalows, buffaloes etc...wat for when life is v cheap...die standing with the robbers, thieves, rapists , muggers , drug addicts beating u up n raping yr loved ones...
V silly ignorant mindset.

You paint a very somber situation of those in the other side of the coin. In many ways Singapore is a good place to put down roots.......
