My uni is University of Adelaide which was the one which President Tony Tan went to. So it should be quite straight forward. I applied for My EP last Friday. Dunno why it's taking so long to approve

How long does an EP application normally takes nowadays. Is there a risk if say my EP took slightly more then 1 weak?

Ya I read yours. Because of the tight regulations, I do not know what is it like now. Because it has been 1 weak and i am getting pretty nervous.

Will denouncing my PR in order not to serve NS affect my EP application?

Just curious. Anyone got their EP rejected b4?

I wished I knew why it was being rejected b4. Could be several reasons. Maybe because i was a former PR? I think i was working here b4 but it was a very long time back. I was working here temporarily i think.

Well typical reason. Your credentials is not good enough. But they refused to give the reason. I mean so far what i can think of is that I was a former singapore PR who denouce my PR because of national service and that i was working here for 6 months before. But it was a very long time ago.

Ya. But I do not know the reason why my application was rejected in the first place.

Ya. I think I am quite handsome. Well, my company needs me a lot so they did appeal for me. But I am really confuse now. To be honest. MOM never told us the real reason as to why my EP is rejected. I am not sure to be honest. I have tried means to find out what is the real reason as to why I got rejected but I was not being told. I guess what I can do is perhaps persuade my job agency to ask them if previous PRs who renounce it because of national service would have it count against them when applying for EP. Another thing was that I worked here a very long time ago for 6 months. I do not know if that was counted against me.


ya. Let the citizen protect their own country then. I am not a citizen of Singapore. It was a big mistake that my father applied PR for me when he was working in Sg. If I knew of the consequences(Have to serve NS). I do not think my father would have applied PR for me at that time. There was in fact no benefits of me being a PR. I am able to enjoy most of the benefits due to the fact that my father was a PR. If there is a war, how would u know that I would continue to defend Singapore and not my own home country.

It's not my parent's fault.

Of course they do not know. If they knew they would not have applied in the first place.

I do not need a PR to study in Singapore rite?

My father was based in Malaysia not in Singapore.

It was hindside that my dad applied PR for me. If he knew about this NS thingy he would not have applied NS for me. My brother was not a PR while he was schooling and took up PR only after he finished uni.

I was never working as a PR. I was a PR when i was a student

Just make sure that when u become a PR make sure that ur sons does not become one otherwise will have to do NS.

Who says u have no chance of getting your PR back?
My father was a PR there and he now has the choice to get back his CPF. Just that he is keeping it there as CPF gives high interest to his deposits. Dun forget, your company pays an extra 12 percent for you. So you get an extra 12 percent in income. Unless you can find an investment that can supplement this 12 percent with your 10 percent income. It's a good deal.

Are you sure that 2.5 years of military training plus approximately 1 month of military commitment each year is some military training? If it's 2 months or 3 months it would not have been such a difficult decision. The amount of years spent doing NS is enough to mess up your future commitments. Some people cannot do medicine even though they got accepted because of this commitment.
