The issue is more like if you want to make a false declaration on the Singapore government forms. Most people would prefer not to and live a peaceful life without any fear.

It would seems pretty lame if Singapore govt don't give him back the citizenship. His case was just forgetfulness, not that he obtain citizenship else where.

WAYS YOU COULD LOSE YOUR CITIZENSHIP
1 Those who hide past criminal records when applying for citizenship.
2 Someone who is considered to be a security threat.
3 Those whose birth or citizenship status was not registered by their parents or guardians.
4 A child born to a parent or parents who are foreigners and not legally married at the time.
5 A person born in Singapore who uses travel documents under a different nationality.
6 A person whose citizenship the government cannot establish from its database, and who has no documents to prove it.
Is this reliable? It sounds strange - someone born in Singapore may not even be a citizen of Singapore, and conversely, there are Singapore citizens not born in Singapore ...
What do u guys think about getting dual citizenship but not renewing sg passport? If so, one will not have to risk making a false declaration at ica, still get to retain sg citizenship and travel with a foreign passport?
For the point a person born in sg but uses travel documents under a different nationality, how could they track one if one can choose not to state one country or place of birth?

does the neh gets cpf back then? since he is stateless? not a bad deal

I believe that it will be fair and just for the SG govt. to re-instate his citizenship.

Therein lies the dilemma for those on this board who have foreign passports but whose SG passports have expired: how to answer the question when renewing the SG passport.
Said minister's wife is American and under American law his children are automatically American. Anyway the SG government has never objected to minors holding dual citizenship.
It can be complicated. For example US imposes inheritance taxes if both spouses are not citizens. There were a number of British women living in NY who lost their American husbands in the Sept 11 terrorists attacks. Not only did they have to cope with the tragedy, they has to sell the house to pay the inheritance taxes. If they had taken proper advice they would have been advised to take US citizenship.
A lot of times there are practical concerns like these; it isn't always about which country one loves.

You wanna give up Singapore without a fight to invaders?
Dual citizenship is for people with no allegiance to any country. Tee gor liang, tee gor chor. Spore cannot give citizenship to such nomads. You either with us or you not with us. One people, one nation. Period. Singapore forever, not PAP forever.

You can keep your dual citizenship as long as you do not renew the SG passport and do not return to Singapore, in theory.
If you choose to return to Singapore on a foreign passport and did not renounced your Singapore citizenship, you will lose your Singapore Citizenship and you will be prosecuted. Your foreign passport has a Place of Birth field, that would flag you as a person of interest. Your name will also be flagged as you previously enter/exit as a Singaporean. You would have made a false declaration in the Visitor Embarkation Card about your country of birth and previous visits to Singapore. That false declaration would incur more charges on you.

I think in the Indian case, he should be able to get his citizenship back because his case for forgetting to take an oath of renunciation and not one of the 6 listed causes for losing citizenship. Need to get his MP to help.
you siao. you think dual citizenship is so easy? it is not for the ah beng and ah lian. do not confuse our open leg policies with that of others. some countries even insist on 10-15years working there before they will even consider giving it. i dont know what you mean by fight when its already over. if the next ge shows no result i am gone
because sinkies like to wait for 2016. nobody respect a ball-less coward.
Yeah, tell that to the "untouchables" from Ah Tiong land, North Korea and Russia.
