PR Foreigner avoid NS after leeching Sg's system
This is the type of PR/converted citizens that the Singapore Govt loves - one who takes all the benefits available to citizens, but yet when it is time for him to fulfil his obligations, he will try his best to avoid. Will the Singapore Govt ever learn?

The Immigration & Checkpoint Authority (ICA) has rejected the application of Zhang Junyi to denounce his Singapore citizenship, citing that he is not yet a legal adult. In addition, the ICA also reminded Zhang of his National Service obligation when he becomes 18 year-old. In response, Zhang sought a judicial review on ICA's decision.

Zhang Junyi filed his request to the Supreme Court through his father Zhang Shaowei. Zhang Junyi was represented by lawyer Lee Jing Xiong who asked the Supreme Court to review the decision of the ICA and the Ministry of Defence on Zhang Junyi's case.

Zhang Junyi urged the Court to rule that he is eligible to renounce his Singapore citizenship, he doesn't qualify for national service, and that his notice to the ICA last year which declared his intention to renounce citizenship is valid.

Zhang Junyi is due for National Service registration soon. He is currently on an exit permit which cleared him for overseas studies. The exit permit will expire on 30 December 2011. The law requires males eligible for National Service to register with the Ministry of Defence when they turn 16.5 years old.

Zhang Junyi's parents Zhang Shaowei and Liang Jiali emigrated to Singapore in January 1996. They converted to Singapore citizenship, along with Zhang Junyi's 2 elder sisters. 2 months after gaining citizenship, they moved to Hongkong.

Zhang Junyi was borned in Hongkong 3 months after his family moved there. Subsequently, Zhang Junyi was granted Singapore citizenship the following Febraury. He lived in Hongkong until he returned to Singapore in 2005 at the age of 10 to study.

In August 2010, Zhang Junyi applied to Hongkong Department of Immigration to restore his Chinese citizenship. Although the Department accepted his application, it was conditional that he relinquishes his Singapore citizenship. 4 months later, Zhang Junyi notified the ICA of his intention to renouce his Singapore citizenship.

However. the ICA rejected his application, citing Section 1, Article 128 of the Singapore Constitution that a citizen can only give up his citizenship when he is above 21 years old and that parents may not make such a decision for the child. The ICA also added that according to Section 2, Article 128 of the Singapore Constitution, Zhang Junyi is obligated to complete his National Service as long as he remains a Singapore citizen.

The Central Manpower Base (CPMB) also suggested that Zhang Junyi should postpone his application for change of citizenship until he has turned 21 years old and that he has completed his National Service. CMPB will consider his application.

In response, Zhang Junyi described the constitutional interpretation of the ICA and the CMPB as "illogical and unfair", citing 3 points. Firstly, the Singapore citizenship was imposed on him because his parents emigrated to Singapore.

Secondly, he is not a 100% citizen because he will only be accorded with full citizenship rights as soon as he relinquished other citizenships within a year after he turned 21 years old. As such, the aforementioned constitutional provisions are irrelevant.

Thirdly, the Enlistment Act does not apply on him because he was less than 16 years old when he first declared his intention to ICA to renounce his Singapore citizenship.

The Attorney General's Chamber (AGC) was notified of the application for judicial review in the middle of November by Zhang Junyi's lawyer Mr Lee Jing Xiong. The pre-conference trial starts today.

Expert: "Interesting" Judicial Review

Constitutional law expert Dr Kevin Tan told Zaobao this would be an "interesting" judicial review. He also pointed out that the Courts rarely take on cases which involve citizenship rights because very few people would submit such issues to the Courts.

He also added that Zhang Junyi may not succeed in securing a judicial review because both the ICA and the CMPB did not act wilfully or irregularly, and as well as exceed their jurisdictions.

Dr Kevin Tan said that Article 128 of the Singapore Constitution appears absolute and that only Singaporeans above the age of 21 are eligible to renounce their citizenship.

Few days ago, Minster of Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen revealed in Parliament 8800 sons of new immigrants had been enlisted for National Service over the last five years. Among them, 6100 (70%) opted to become Singapore citizens.

However, among second-generation permanent residents, 4200 gave up their permanent residency over the same period. In another words, for every three sons of permanent residents, two would enlist while one would give up his permanent residency status in order to forgo national service.

Better to be a nice gal, hot chicks will eventually lose their looks some day



I'm not in singapore... just reading the thread for information

IMO hope the courts throw out the case and make him serve his NS.

Anyway the 2011/2012 Asia's Top 20 restaurants in the Miele Guide ... SG has 5 restaurants. Any of you high flyers with corporate card eaten at any of them before? seantang?

Guys, How can I get to senai airport from singapore immigration check point by public bus?

take 170. get down at city square. take bus to senai from there.

I've only been to Iggy's.

Food's good, if you like that sorta couture cuisine (and you don't mind the waiter repeatedly interrupting your conversation to explain the course and incessantly asking how's the food). Small portions, huge plates and lots of useless artsy fartsy drawings using jams, sauces and condiments on the vast empty portions of the said plate. Personally, I don't see what's the big deal about Western fine dining. IMHO, very little value for the price paid.

all those PRCs, ang neh neh, pinoys and banglas giving FTs a bad name

This china fella has become a true blue singaporean. Will do pretty much anything to excape NS, just like one guy who faked a mental illness to escape reservist duty.

His medical report is hilarious and even more so that the doctor actually diagnosed him as such.

Say NO to AIRPORT TAX INCREASE

Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) has increased the airport tax* for all international outgoing flights starting 1st December 2011.

AirAsia views that this increase is not justified as the current airport facilities are not up to par.

http://www.airasia.com/my/en/latestnews/ai...x-increase.page

http://www.eglobaltravelmedia.com.au/airli...n-airports.html

Beginning 1 December 2011, all AirAsia guests flying to international destinations from Malaysia will be subjected to new Passenger Service Charge (PSC) rates, as Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) implemented an increase of the PSC for all international flights departing from airports throughout Malaysia.
The PSC, commonly referred to as ‘airport tax’, is paid by guests and collected by AirAsia on behalf of MAHB. All amount collected are channeled to the airport operator, with none of the sum shared by AirAsia.

The airport tax raise will be effective starting 00:01hrs (GMT +8) on 1 December 2011, and all international flights purchased on 1 December onwards will include the revised airport tax rate.

Im not so concerned about this since i usually take the bus back to malaysia and even if i do fly there, its for business and the company covers that.

i also need to switch to bus already, just that i din see the reason of the increase
lately AA quite strict on the 7kg hand carry, web check in and service is not exactly is there

there was a mornin i reach lcct to do the web check in using my phone, all machine was down, i went to the counter and bang table to resolve it. but problem is not everybody so thick skin, i saw this gal searching high and low for other available machine and none is exist, almost departing time already and morning q is quite heavy

RM14 is still better for me.
10 hours+ coach < 2 hours+ fly and waiting time

Kesian most people stay in KL or further up north.
