I believe it is a case to case basis. that's why you cannot find anything written down. Yes. It is a case to case basis. Normally, at the end of each school year, there is a briefing session for all the graduating students, conducted by MOE. I was at one of those for this year. During that time, th...

Now that we think that the bridges with MOM have been burned, you should start talking with the people from MOE who are responsible for administering your tuition grant. Ask them on how to proceed further with your bond obligation. I know that they waive the bond if a person is unable to find a job ...

Very good luck indeed. My salary is at least double than yours but not stand a chance. You must be fresh graduate. I do not think that you should be comparing applications like this. OP was a graduate from a local university and is now working here - putting his total stay in Singapore at around 5 ...

I would have thought the student fees will higher when you no longer a PR. No? The graduate tuition fees for international students is roughly twice the PR fees (or ~ three times the singaporean fees). However, there are a few bond free scholarships which cover both tuition fees and provide ~2.5k m...

I am sorry if I came across as authoritative or arrogant, I really did not mean to. :oops: . I will learn to tread with more caution.

Has getting PR ever been automatic (inherited from PR parents?), I thought that you would always need to apply to get it ?

simple question - was your son a PR during his initial stay at SG ?

if yes, then it is a matter of whether his PR (not just yours) was renounced properly or not.

if no, (he is/was not a PR), then he is not NS liable.

I am just curious, but did your PR invitation at the end of your poly education mention that you have to serve NS ? (you would have been at the right age at that time) If so, then this reason might also be taken as a possible reason why you did not want to take up the PR at that point in time (apart...
