Now, this debunk the Vicious SCY calling for Singaporean elderly retirees to migrate. Kicking them out of Singapore, a place where they decided to call it Home. Sad.
SCY's theory of condemning Singapore's future, by consistently shaming and threatening Singaporean's security with fake news.
Now extended to harassing our elderly, last dream of peace in their golden age. So damn cruel and selfish of him.
As for today's foreign workers/ PR plying in Singapore. I said it is a complex issue.
Some long term PR started in the earlier days of Singapore Independence. They are mainly the Malaysian, with some Indonesian or UK citizens, whom love to stay in Singapore with their Singaporean spouse, family.
But refused to give up a bigger country citizenship. Inview of personal long term interest or sense of belonging towards motherland roots.
Singapore was then a small young nation with no resources, naturally allowed such PR for long term goals. A win win situation for both such PR cases and Singapore's own development.
At that period, Singapore's population was about 1 to 2 millions plus. More rooms for everyone.
However, the second generation of such PR's son needed to be enlisted into NS. This regulation is one way to stop having more long-term PR, taking advantage of Singapore benefits.
I know some Malaysians working and living in Singapore under work permit, whereby their Parent are PR for decades. All because they refused to conscription.
Today's new application for PR is even more stringent for approval. Many was rejected due to incompatible of work skill, education, wealth, job security, personal assimilation with Singapore's society, policy and security.
Singapore PR subject to regulation in renewal too.
The Singapore PR renewal has a validity period of 5 years maximum and is subject to the applicant's situation.
PRs who have been away from Singapore for a long time may not be granted a five-year re-entry permit.
"Can Singapore PR renewal be rejected?"
Yes, the REP renewal can be rejected for several reasons:
1 You have been away from Singapore for an extended period.
2 You have made little contribution to Singapore economically.
3 You failed to produce the required documents.
So the concept of "Open Door" immigration is fake. Many disgruntled foreigners in forums, with a knife to grind against Singapore are one of such fail applicant.
As I mentioned earlier, Singapore is much more selective in approvals of PR and certainly over Citizenship application.
Today, We have the resources to rejected unqualified foreigners application. Towards the benefits of our nation.
It doesn't mean when a foreigner wishes to be our PR or Citizenship, their wish will be granted naturally. Or they are considered better than a foreign workers plying in Singapore on permits.
Singapore's goal is to be a Global City. We welcome all to work and live in our city. For the benefit of everyone, including Singaporean. With positive contribution to our society and economy.
However, approving PR/Citizenship is more than that. It concerning our continuously nation building.
Not everyone is suitable to be a Singaporean.
SCY is a perfect example. His kind of mentality will destroy Singapore within seconds. Something that we, Singaporean cannot take it lightly.
6 million citizens VS 3 million citizens with 3 million PR/Foreign workers.
Well, Becareful of what you wishes for.
Singapore can never do away with foreign workers, a true fact that even our Opposition parties agree. Who is your contractor renovating your home, f&b workers, factory workers, hairstylist, nurse, hawkers, construction workers etc. Mostly are Malaysian, Chinese, Bangladesh, Indian.
So even when you have 6 millions citizens, there will still be foreign workers needed in Singapore. By then we will hit 8 to 9 million population. Will it not be over crowded as complaint by many Opposition supporters?
And with 6 millions citizens, the benefits and grants cost will be very high.
How many bto must we build for citizens, double of today?
With all of the grants too? What about hospitalisation, school, welfare grants?
Therefore Singapore approvals of Citizenship is limited to about 20k annually. A figure that we can still absorb at current situation.
Too simplistic
