Spore passport renewal issue

[Watchman]

1. I do not think parents can renounce their children's citizenship.

2. Anyway, I do not think the Singapore authorities will want the quitters to enjoy the privileges of a Singapore passport. Sometimes, ambiquity can be a good thing. Since he has served NS, he remains a Singaporean. So what he travel on Aussie passport. When it is time to decide whether to return to Singapore, he can renounce his Aussie citizenship. But if he change his mind, he can still use his last "card" to reinstate his Aussie citizenship.

Any comments?

But it does offer the other way around !

You can play the devil's advocate. But it is really hard to compare the Singapore of today with the Australia of today. And it is harder to generalise about migration conditions.

Both countries are at different stage of development.

As far as I can see, Singapore is past it's prime - even LHL admitted that. On top of that, Singapore has been effectively on zero % interest rates for some time. This is worrying.

As for Australia, a remote continent that has been left out before the days of globalisation. Suddenly, it has become a world attention grabber with its Gas and Uranium resources (let's not forget Gold, iron, diamonds and other metals)

With the watershed global financial crisis still sticky, we may be looking at a new era araising from the ashes of the Great Recession.

It is still early days for the ever changing world.

Aussie Prick, perhaps you want to join me in Egypt. God willing.

This country is cheaper than China, has a lot more young talented people and still flush with money remitted from the rich gulf states.

You can always invest next door in Libya as well, they need infrastructure for the booming tourism industries.

Surprisingly, I have to agree with you. 0% interest rates aside, producing respectable economic growth numbers by importing them to the tune of 6.5 million people over the next several years is not the answer. I still have nightmares when I first discovered some of the double counting the government does - the MPA annual tonnage comes to mind.

I have said on another thread Singapore's direction can only mimick Hong Kongs sans the pollution - and at least in Hong Kong they can at least demonstrate! Many of us have already seen Singapore's future.

Ok, I'll bite. What are you doing in Egypt?

My relative looking for suitable place for a factory.
I just tag along for free accomodation and Egyptian hospitality.
Have you seen the SmartCity outside Cairo? Oracle, Microsoft, etc are represented.

CHINA MOVING ON
With pressure to revalue RMB, inflation-pushed wage rises, moving away from export and one-child policy, China do not need my type of labor-intensive investors.

Hey bro,
How come never sending CNY greetings - still ask for ang pao. Your kids will not be too happy.

Anyway, I wish everyone get big Ang Pao this year, whether from investments or lotteries or from other sources.

Hello Brother,

Although according to Toronto's Eastern Standard Time, we are about 2205 on Feb 13, 2010, you folks in Singapore and Australia are celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year now.

Wish you folks a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year.

新年快樂 !
恭喜發財 !
年年有餘 !
Sometimes, and/or for some individuals, the big ang pow may not come from mega returns from investments or winning a huge lottery, but from the good luck resulting from working smart and hard.
