QUOTE(seantang @ Jun 8 2010, 11:40 AM) The boy only needs to do NS if he wants citizenship or to remain a PR after he turns 18. He can always give up the PR and return to Malaysia or apply for a EP/WP if he wants to stay. For 2nd generation PR, the option of renoucing PR status does not give much leeway to subsequent PR re-application via own merits. The termination of earlier dependent PR can be viewed as ostentatious/ conscientious bid to escape from civic duty liable, considering the fact that you have had "enjoyed" the puny benefit that the state has given to PR.From now until he's 18, he's a PR by virtue of being a dependent of a PR. It's a matter of keeping options open for your child, until they're old and mature enough to decide for themself. |

QUOTE(r1v3r @ Jun 8 2010, 01:12 PM) what enjoy? as PR we pay more tax and get ZERO goodies. My kids will pay more school/medical fees than other SG student. It is SG people that are enjoying our tax money. From what I understand, the admission to Primary schools are allocated in favor of Citizen => PR => Foreigner. Only certain schools would accept a Foreigner under student pass. However this stands to be corrected as I do not have a kid and yet to have gone through this myself in today's context.QUOTE(r1v3r @ Jun 8 2010, 01:12 PM) When my kid renoucing PR at 18, he will ask to pay a sum of money for the "punybenefit" he enjoyed. So we owe nothing to SG. Hope you can share what's this "amount" and source, for my general knowledge purpose.QUOTE(r1v3r @ Jun 8 2010, 01:12 PM) NS is not a bad things if you see it as character building. Some young boy are too "weak", always play computer and spend most time in his room. They lack of character(other than their online game characters) they can't go far given the 2 years time advantage compare to those who go NS. having said that, not all kids who went NS must be successful but they do have a better character. Oh well, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. There's no substitute on proper family upbringing, let alone left to the state do what one has failed to. At the age of 16-18, most of the habits would have already been formed/ solidified. To induce a "life changing NS experience" which can be for better or worse, is not something one would tie your aspiring kid to for 2 years; but a last shot to "re-form" a recalcitrant brat. |
