It costs $2.5 million and it takes 2 years.

its been happening for many years. whether they stay here for long or short term, they contribute their taxes, pay rental etc etc. with 1 of them leaving, 2-3 more will come in to fill the gap.

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. I am the only local contract staff there to replace a PR who was on maternity leave. During my 3 months, I was surprise that 4 individual PR have applied for citizenship and was all approved. Do we really need all these citizen ?

A reader came across this post by a foreigner, who complained about his PR rejection on Facebook, and decided to share the news with us. What do you think?

This year, i've started feeling more helpless about living in this country, and the events of this week have really ramped it up for me. The death of a boy lures a politician-giant out into public to disparage the boy's final moments and shut down the dawning realisation that we are all endangered by agents of the law. A mother seeking justice for the loss of her son is told that the armed forces to which he was lost is immune from being tried in a court of law. She is made instead to pay for the legal costs of those from whom she seeks justice. In both cases, it is faith in public institutions, and not the protection of individuals, that is upheld by the law.

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.

I am very curious at the decision of the judges of Miss Singapore World 2015. Undoubtedly, this year's awarding of the title to Miss Charity Maru, a self-professed Kachin native from Myanmar who recently received her pink I.C. in 2007, has become a huge controversy. Unfortunately, this controversy has already marred what would have been a happy event and turned it into something of a political farce.

As a permanent resident here, I would look forward to becoming a Singapore citizen if not for one issue - the requirement that I give up citizenship of my home country. I know of many other permanent residents who share my view. Not allowing dual nationality is an old-fashioned position, one that has changed in many proud countries over the last decade or so. Forcing me to give up my ties to my home country, and having to apply for a visa to visit my family and friends there, is a show-stopper.
