i think the longer u wait the higher chance u have i guess...
my friend get news in 3 months time ,rejected.
me...since jul,i check ytd approved

Congratz Jul-Ma, 8 months wor... Nowadays waiting period so long

Oh congrats. Next step is citizen and then buy bto!

Get my PR mid of last year after waited for almost a year.
For me, the main purpose of getting PR is for easier to secure a job in sg.
another reason is that job opportunities/earning power here is tiptop in SEA.
Just assumption, you will be able to cut short your retirement plan if you wish to retired back home by x3.
10-15 year of saving will be able to secure your retirement fund.
let's say you started 30yo by the age of 45yo will be enough, if you still cont to work that will be your bonus.

Do you really want to stay/live here for the rest of your life?

Dont kid urself. By the time ur 45 u wont evn think of going back.

All the aunties and uncles here so kesian, so old still need to work as a cleaner,
I don't think this is for pass time, I believe this is because they have not enough $$ to survive

Once u start a family in sg, ur kids will be singaporean and they wont have any connection with msia. Then u wont be able to go back cos they wanna stay here.

Just checked mine and it shows approved too
Applied in Aug

congrats!
when is the date it got approve?
how long u been working in sg before u applied the pr last year?

grats~ haha seems like many get theirs approved recently...i got 2 friends also approved

Thanks!

I can't be sure, but i think it was a couple weeks ago
Started in SG at Jan 2012, applied in Aug 2013
I waited till I started my first tax filing (after the tax cycle in Apr)

Thank you
Yeah I guess it just passed some kind of cycle for them, where more of the quotas were released
Or maybe the converse since this is the final month of the financial year, maybe they have a lot of spots to fill up

We should have a small celebration for us new PRs

u mean u applied pr on aug 2013? then now mar 2017 only approve?

thats more than 3 years!

I guess March is the mass approval month.
My PR was approved in the month of March also.

hahaha shit sorry bro, got my dates mixed up

Moved to SG in May 2015, applied PR Aug 2016, approved Mar 2017

congrats guy...

So you guys all choosing the full 20% pay cut every month?

hahaha. that is quite fast as well.

Hehe all made the decision to b here eh? Majulah singapura!!!
