QUOTE(casgy @ Jan 19 2011, 05:32 PM) Dude, if not mistaken the 35-year-old single HDB ownership schme is only applicable for Singaporean. I gather this info from google search. HDB ownership depends on the PR status and if by any means you do not hold PR status you will have to relinquish the HDB ownership. Following are the options in such scenarios - 1.) You can transfer the HDB on someone else's name (your relative or someone trustworthy). 2. You can sell the HDB in open market. 3. Worst case HDB will take back the flat either on the evaluation or Purchase price whichever is lower at that time. 4.) On the case to case basis ICA can extend you a Visa to sell off your flat for 3 months maximum and HDB will also give you grace period to maintain the ownership during that period. PR can only buy REsale HDB. It makes me wonder if its worth giving up ur citizenship just to buy new HDB . This post has been edited by Supreme Allied Commander: Jan 19 2011, 05:22 PM

You gotta be thinking way more then just getting singaporean citizenship for a HDB. Most people immigrate in search for a better life, not just to have the opportunity to buy government alloted flats in a land sparse country like singapore.

For now, I won't take up Singapore citizenship as it's just too expensive to retire in Singapore. And I reckon it's a better idea to work 10-20 years in SG and retire early back to Malaysia with some serious RM savings converted from SGD. Finding a Singaporean wife or getting a couple more promotions may change my mind though.
But I still like the PR status because it gives me an option if race & religion in Malaysia takes a turn for the worse. And crossing the causeway is the only real viable emergency option if any sudden riots ala Indonesia 1998 happens.

Well, Sg is quite fast paced and corporate environment is more competitive. Local food wise, Msia still better. But the some Japanese food here is better than those in KL.

The political situation is getting worse everyday. Apparently, racial discrimination is so prominent nowadays in Malaysia whereby you cant get a fair piece of the economic pie if you are not a Malay or converted Muslim. Malaysia has only itself to blame as more and more talents and professionals flow to Singapore and her economy fark up-side down to the longkang..
