[h=1]SINGAPORE PR: I WONT CONVERT TO CITIZEN BECAUSE SINGAPORE HAS 'CRAP' WELFARE[/h]

I just want to bring to your attention that there is a large group of PRs living in Singapore with their Singapore family. I am one of them. I married my wonderful Singaporean wife and have been living here since the late 80s, way before the so called ‘FT’ issue came into being.

We have 2 wonderful sons and in case you think they are skipping NS, one finished his and is currently studying in a local university. The other will be serving his next year. All are singaporeans except myself.

Now, before you accuse me of treason, I just want to tell you why I’m not yet a singaporean. Given the crap social welfare policies practised by the Singapore government, why should I swap my citizenship to get a worse deal?

I’ve noticed that the government has recently announced a series of social measures but it remains to be seen if they sincerely want to upgrade singapore’s social policies to fall in line with those in the west.






Until then, I’m happy to remain as a PR. If you are in my position, you will do the same too.

P.S. I may not have served NS but I have produced 2 sons who have with one serving his next year. Doesn’t that count for something as far as my loyalty and commitments to Singapore is concerned?

Have a heart

He is a smart westerner. Loads of Malaysians do the same. They may complain about Boleh land but ask them how much they pay at hospitals for a major operation.

I met a Briton who was in the better part of his 30s and he told me that he married a Minah and has kids. We got to talking and he told me that he faithfully sends money home for his UK pension fund. He was just an ordinary manager but he still made sure he sent over the money.

He told me that he could not believe that a modern country like Singapore has no pension scheme private or public. I told him about CPF and he actually chuckled. He told me that his lives in a condo and the mortgage comes from his CPF. He also told me his wife was a estate agent. I asked him why he laughed at CPF. He told me it was a buy a house scheme. He was surprised that I did not realise that and he was serious. When I probed further he actually thought it was home ownership scheme and not a retirement fund.
