PR Application Rejected... No Reason?

So I applied for a PR for myself and my wife early this year (around late Feb / early March). Just received a rejection notice, just a simple note that "application has not been successful" I've read other threads where they give a reason, so am I missing something here? Do I have to make an appoint...

Re: US appliances: Is there an Electrical Engineer in the Ho

Re: US citizens :: Baby Born in Singapore

So, just preparing for upcoming baby due this month and it seems like there are a number of different forms, e.g. Copy of Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) and Certificate of Citizenship, etc. What is the difference between these two do you necessarily need both? Are there other forms I should...

Send your information and new address to [email protected]. They will respond with a confirmation email.
Thanks for all the replies, I just sent them a note via email.

I applied in very early Feb, but no word... is it odd that its taking so long to hear back?

Cheers.

PR application submitted, change of residential address

I presume that I would go to ICA to update them with my new residential address?

Is this something I could do online?

Assuming that the updated change of residential address for my PEP (MOM online) will not be automatically updated or "transferred" over to my PR application - or would it?

Thanks

Prescription Medicine in Singapore

Hello,

Are prescription medicines priced the same across all pharmacies (e.g. Guardian vs. General Hospital vs. Private Clinic)?

If not, what Hospitals / Pharmacies offer the best prices?

(p.s. the medicine is a common pain relieving med)

Thanks
