I know of a case this year when a SG adult citizen entered and left SG with a US passport. Didn't renew SG passport. No NS problem or any other problem. Was let through, went smoothly. But months later, received a letter from ICA asking them to consider renouncing SG citizenship. Didn't really...

Born in HK, raised in US where he's citizen, and a respected doctor and scientist. He built a reputable institute from scratch. Lots of money yes. But still an achievement doing it here. Importantly, trained up a successor who's reputable. Leaves behind an institute that will miss him but...

There many many cases where children have dual citizenship where a parent is Singaporean and another is another nationality, regardless of what the constitution quoted says. Suspect there're more amendments further down eg including mothers etc. No question NS needs to be served here. But...

YI is a Minister & leader. He's not dual citizen. If so, he deserves even more anger. His wife is an inidividual in her own right with her own beliefs. Her family in US. Husband & wife need not agree on everything. And they jointly decide for their children until age 21. What's wrong with giving...

Clearly, the laws and constitution on dual-citizenships are outdated, as mentioned somewhere else on this forum. Right now, few benefit from it and its loopholes, and they’re mainly the elites. The fact is that the elites, whether political, business or educational/ scientific leadership...

Regulations seem clear here. Singapore clearly allows children who're dual citizens. By age 21, however, they must renounce the other citizenship to keep the Singapore citizenship. Or vice-versa. Males, if they've lived and studied here, would need to serve NS unless they leave at a relatively...

The American's condescending tone about Singapore capabilities eg security, technological competence is also quite apparent. No surprise, but their interest in talking with the leadership is mainly to add to their database about China, DPRK, Iran. And to presure Singapore to act on their...

The official spin is already becoming a PAP win 70-30. Yes a split, but healing this will be top priority. Even if TCB won, it would be spun (and eventually believed) as the same PAP win 70-30 or even 90-10 (vs TKL if TJS changed sides). If TCB won, his top priority will still be reconciling the...

Few really believed TJS could win. Doubt if he did either. Lost GE. Only loosing politicians speaking for him. No track-record of community service. Only <6mths in politics. He probably did this to represent the left, establish himself as a key player to that base, and give PAP a bloody nose...

An apparent problem is the lack of track record in community service for so many years. Want to speak up but where is the history of having done so. Is having had the foresight to see this GE and PE as a change election, taking a stand and participating, putting at risk his young family out...

In future politics, PAP will need to play nice outwardly. But at the same time, they must instill party discipline internally. Notice nobody except PM dares to speak about EP candidates. If TCB wins, they may not easily let him off the hook. As a CEC member, now not toeing the party line and...

It is clear voters of similar background support TJS and TKL, with more from this block supporting TJS. Obvious from rally, facebook. Loosing opposition members support and speak for both of them. In any case, TKL's statement is unlikely to shift much votes to his side from TJS. Maybe the...

Yes. Obviously scripted and quite artificial. Not very 'professional' in the actual delivery that night. He was holding the script & referring to it. The questions were, however, quite direct to his perceived weaknesses - lack of stellar track record in business and public service. He tried to...

Re: Tan Jee Say may win the PE race...rally at TP stadium is important ! Jee Say Pls Would be great if somebody who actually won in the GE also spoke.

Re: WP, why keep quite on EP election leh! act blur ah! jiak leow bee and cho boh lan Perhaps they would not or should not comment as a party. But it would be interesting to see who the individuals stars there support. Elected leaders of the ruling party have made their views heard. The elected...

Re: WP, why keep quite on EP election leh! act blur ah! jiak leow bee and cho boh lan The WP manifesto also calls for the abolishment of the GRC. That did not stop them from contesting and winning one! No reason why they should stay silent on the EP.
