Paperwork is as tedious as apply for PR. But additionally u need to complete some e-learning courses, join the citizenship ceremony and also complete some tour... Just need to schedule your time lo...
Me and my son is sgporean now, my wife is still Malaysian as I had the same idea to have a 'backup' plan... But we're looking to get her converted soon too!
I guess if you high earner then can live without the subsidies and then go back kl to live like a king when retire... But for us... Not so elite class have to get government assistance lo... Haha we've lived in Sg for 8 over years already... So accustomed to it, so it's now out comfort zone... But in fact, if things go swell this year we may even relocate to shanghai but remain Sg citizens to keep the house and collect rent.
To add, it may be tough for your kid at a later age to move to Malaysia after being in singapore.. They will lose all their friends

Hmm you got pretty much the same idea that I have here, I don’t really earn like really a lot but should still be able to live comfortably here without converting to SPR. Problem is I am tempted by the money and benefits that my child and wife can enjoy if either me or my wife convert. It will certainly help out well

How long did the whole process took you? I wanna see if it is possible for me to wait till I can confirm on my baby’s gender or if I have more time to think/talk before my baby pops out.
Good luck on your Shanghai plan too! I like the place but I am rather worried of the crappy air condition there, not really good for health.
On kid to go back M’sia, that’s another headache too, hmm… Really a lot to consider for myself if I really wanna go back M’sia one day. Need to talk this out with my wife once I get sufficient info
