Foreign population grew 47.5%
In contrast, the foreign population grew much more by 47.5% from 1.01 to 1.49 million, and PRs grew by 17.8% from 450.000 to 530,000.
The graph on page 24 of the SPOR report indicates that the total number of PRs granted was 259,040. So, with 259,040 new PRs granted, why did the PRs population only grow by 80,000? Even if we assume that all the 92,310 new citizens were all PRs, which is not possible because some become new citizens without being PRs first, we are still missing 86,730 PRs. Could it be that more than 86,730 PRs gave up their permanent residency? And of course PRs who leave may sell their HDB flats for a profit and withdraw their CPF too.
So, what does this tell you about “Applicants are assessed on whether they can contribute to and integrate well into our society, as well as their commitment to sinking roots in Singapore”?

I always see you complain about CPF, hardly anything else.
