...Also, I don't see why SG not letting the kids finishing their 1st degree if accepted by "qualified" univ, then back to serve NS. This has/will disturb the study cycle of Sg kids & parents. Worst still, Some univ may not be willing to defer/wait for NS completion.. even lesser incentive for a uni...

Sounds like another who want to use The Little Red Dot as a stepping stone. Hard to blame Singaporeans for hating us when you get abusers like this. Hell, I hate 'em as well as they cause us long-stayers to have problems as well. Blame these people? Why not just blame the govt who decides the polic...

Just to provide my 2 cents worth. Where I originally came from, for US visa, we had to provide proof of S$40k in the bank untouched for 2 years, proof of employment, proof of all countries that I have been to (passport stamps and holiday pictures!!), provide guarantor, and wait for 12 - 18 months p...

Grandma too old, forgetful and fragile for travel anymore. Can't say there's no loyalty or soft-spot for the country. I did like being able to say I was Singaporean, up to an adult age. Whether that means I should have served can be debated, but that decision is past due. Appreciate your understand...

That too. I purchased a new Harmony One remote from Amazon complete with shipping here for less that 200 US. It's over 400 here in Singapore. Go figure! Greed will come as a natural result of a diminished supply being brought into the country, again, due to the small size of the population. Supply ...

Does it matter if the child is not physically in Singapore? My parents are thinking of retiring in Singapore but my dad is not Singaporean. Will they care if I did not contribute to Singapore taxes since I am working outside the country? So this would be your father, who would be applying along wit...

p.s. Have you considered applying for Canadian PR too, I have heard it is very good... you know, gives lots of benefits.

benefits like? tell me now and tomorrow I will demand my MP to give me those.

Is there any website to find the transacted price for rents for condos?

We are a Singaporean family expecting to be staying overseas during the next few years. We are worried about our son adapting to NS/Singapore when he is enlisted 10 years later. Would you mind sharing your experiences - especially if you have kids who have been overseas many years (i.e. speak with ...

When is your birthday? If you can enlist in Sep 2013 then yes, you'll have no problem going for your university study in 2015. But are you 18 by Sep 2013? You need to re read his questions again if you wish to advice him. I don't see how Im wrong? Anyway Taxico nailed everything right. One trick fo...

I think the short answer is this: Any liability (incl. NS) he might have towards Singapore end with the day the PR is cancelled. Any chance of ever again staying in Singapore also ends on that day. (I wonder if the same is true if a Re-Entry permit is not renewed due to living abroad?) Thanks beppi...

First thank you very much for the various postings on the issue of NS-liability; I have found them very helpful and instructive. I do however have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to despite scouring the internet for hours. My wife and I are both SPRs, and so is my 6 year old son who ...

wtf? What if I served my NS and renounced? Can I come back to work? And how come OP is not classified as NS defaulter? There is a BIG Difference between OP and yourself For once, he has lived all his life in Malaysia which is basically a taboo. I find it most of whom lived in Malaysia but born in S...
