More bad news for PR..

Health subsidy cut for PRs
Move is to further sharpen the distinction between S'pore citizens and PRs.

THE difference in healthcare subsidy between citizens and permanent residents (PRs) will widen further from next year.

PRs now get 10 percentage points less in subsidy than citizens. This will go up - in two stages - to a 20 point difference.

This means a PR in a C class ward will get only 60 per cent subsidy from July next year, compared to 80 per cent for citizens.

Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan, who announced this after donating blood at the Health Sciences Authority on Thursday morning, said the move is to further sharpen the distinction between citizens and PRs.

The difference in subsidy will also affect patients in nursing homes and community hospitals.

The Health Minstry said in a statement: 'Citizens enjoy heavy subsidy in Class B2 and C wards. PRs receive significant subsidy while foreigners are not subsidised at all. The subsidy distinction reflects the privileges of citizenship, but there is scope for refinement.'

That's a bum deal for PRs. In most Western countries, permanent residents enjoy ALL the benefits that citizens get including the right to vote.

My message to all sinkie PRs is to move on to a country that appreciates your talent and leave those sinkies to stew in their own juices.

We really don't want them to leave. We want someone to take the blame for all our troubles.

This morning, my nasi lemak's chilli was not sedap enough. I told my friend that we will blame it on the FT sitting nearby. We felt alot better after that.

then they should move to a western country, but they can't coz their first application probably got rejected, that's why they're here. leftovers and rejects.

so now they're screwed like the rest, stuck here with no place to go.

misery loves company.

PRs in western countries getting a right to vote??? I don't think so right. Green card holders cannot vote in the US. You are right in the sense that in most western countries, the PR enjoy the health benefits, etc similar to those enjoyed by citizens.

Yeah right if those foreigners are so damn good they would have been in the States or UK in the first place. They are 2nd rate talents who have no choice but to come to Sinkapore. Options are limited for them.

1st of all why give so many PR permit in the begining. Gov should have not approved so many new PR. Now trouble surface they tried to cover up own mistake by reducing PR sudsidy.
If more PR angry they will leave and take out all CPF money with them( average each PR I guess they have $200K those work about 10 year). If 100K PR leave that will be big amnount SG$20B. Since PAP have so many PR more than 500K PR.
PAP always never admit their mistake. If many PR convert to citizen , I quess they will take revenge by voting opposition. Because betray by PAP to take up PR and being stab by back.

They gave many PRs permit and citizenship .
Because they will help to take up the high numbers of vacant flats that are not occupied then and there, years ago.


They see the falling birth rates not as a result of their insidious policies tweaking but failure on citizen's part of not being productive .

They are always kicking themselves whenever they are tweaking the policies . 1 step forward and 3 step backwards.

Imagine those FTs, PRs and citizens converted who had capitalise this loophole 15 years ago and have made off with the money are enjoying back where they called home.
