Our reader is unhappy that she has to give up her Singapore citizenship for a New Zealand one, having lived there for 20 years with her lesbian partner. She thinks it's a move to deny her vote as the government is becoming more 'fundamentalist'.

A former opposition politician is against giving away Singaporean citizenship and public housing to foreigners so easily. "Our forefathers struggled all the way and made many sacrifices to build up this nation... Is our citizenship that cheap, to be given away like goreng pisang panas?"

I am a new citizen here in singapore for the past 7 years. I am totally disappointed with Singapore and I want my old citizenship back. It seems like i am fooled to take up citizenship here by the good looking building . Is it possible to cancel my citizenship as i first come to this country i feel it was good and take care of me, but now i am left jobless. Is there legal services that i can use to cancel my citizenship.

I was offered a 3 months contract job in a local construction company which is fully owned by China PRC, now a citizen, and run the China way. All my full time colleagues are China PR.

Do we really need all these citizen ?

I came across this fb conversation between two India-born Indians who show no respect to ICA nor Singapore, despite what we have done for them. One apparently was educated in NTU, probably on scholarship, got our citizenship, and now working in London.
