Different from Singapore, which explicitly announces the number of approved PRs each year and the detailed numbers of approved PRs from each country, Singapore has never disclosed such information.


Recently, Singapore's Minister for Home Affairs and Law, Shanmugam, responded seriously to this question, and we'll take a look together.


Minister's Response:

Gender Ratio and Origin of Approved PRs
Minister Shanmugam stated that out of the approximately 520,000 permanent residents (PRs) in Singapore,


about 45% are male and 55% are female.


Female more than male 10 percent....

Why?



Data Source: Singapore Department of Statistics
The reason Singapore does not disclose the breakdown of PR population by nationality is due to sensitivity concerns.

However, the Minister also stated that many of Singapore's PRs come from neighboring countries due to historical factors.


According to netizens' analysis, the neighboring country mentioned is undoubtedly Malaysia.


Although the Minister did not reveal the countries from which

Singapore's approved PRs come, he disclosed that about 60% of the approved PRs in 2019 and 2020 came from Southeast Asian countries, about 34% came from other Asian countries,




So, 60% of 30,000 is 18,000.

Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia,Brunei, Philipines, Vietnam,Myanmar


7 countries shares this 18,000 PR successful approval.

No.	Asean 11 Country
1	Indonesia
2	Thailand
3	Malaysia
4	Brunei
5	Vietnam
6	Philippines
7	Cambodia
8	Myanmar
9	Laos
10	Singapore

11) Timor-Leste (total population is around 1.34 million only)


and the remaining 6% came from other countries.

So, 6% of 30,000 is 1,800....
So less....

Not much ang moh apply?


It is believed that the majority of the 60% from Southeast Asian countries are from Malaysia, and the percentage from China among the 34% from other Asian countries is definitely not small.

No.	20 strong economies in Asia, excluding Southeast Asian countries ( Southeast Asian countries means = Asean Countries)

Singapore's PR Numbers Over the Years


Have remained at around 500,000
The Minister stated that Singapore's immigration policy has been carefully adjusted, and over the years, the PR population has been kept stable at around 500,000.




I don't believe that staying in Singapore or Johor will affect your PR approval.

Factors such as age, current job, company size, salary, education, country of birth(romours), and bank savings are what I know can affect PR approval.





But if sponsor applied by husband or wife, I think sure 100 % approve.............

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on the Number of Permanent Residence Status Granted in 2021

Published: 20 October 2022

Question:

Mr Yip Hon Weng: To ask the Minister for Home Affairs with the number of individuals granted permanent resident (PR) status in 2021 at a record high since 2009 (a) what are the reasons for this; (b) whether the number of PRs is expected to increase and to what extent; © how will the enhancements to our Employment Pass framework contribute to this; (d) how long can they expect to wait before receiving their Singapore citizenship after applying; and (e) what are the efforts to facilitate the conversion of suitable PRs.



https://www.mha.gov.sg/mediaroom/parliament...ranted-in-2021/



About 33,400 individuals were granted Permanent Residency (PR) in 2021. This number is similar to pre-COVID levels – for instance, we granted about 32,900 new PRs in 2019.

The grant figure in 2021 included several thousand applicants who were approved in-principle but had not completed all the required processes to be granted PR by end-2020.

Such processes have to be done in person, and some applicants could not do so due to travel restrictions amid the COVID-19 situation. This also explained the below-trend number of 27,470 PRs granted in 2020.


Singapore Citizenship (SC) applications usually take 12 months to process. The best way to encourage qualified PRs to convert to SC is to continue to ensure that Singaporeans are well looked after, in a Singapore that continues to do well.

5. Further, we have in recent years widened the differentiation of benefits accorded to PRs and Singaporeans, such that Singaporeans receive more benefits in areas such as

parenthood, housing, healthcare and education.


This reflects the responsibilities and privileges of citizenship. That said, taking up citizenship is a serious commitment that is ultimately a personal decision.

I got mine within 3 months, but that was nearly 25 or 30 years ago. They were handing out invitations to doctors to apply. I still get the invitation to convert at every PR renewal...

Good luck with yours.

Get PR there.. Pay taxes there.. But when need medical constation, teavel back to Malaysia

Not really. Interesting that people like MooMoo decided to come to Singapore for health matters, as opposed to staying back for the RM1 treatment in Malaysia.

That because he is rich enough to pay.
Wife did a biopsy for sgd7000 which could have been done at rm2000-3000 in malaysia. Just a biopsy. Had it not that her company covered her cost she would have gone back to Malaysia to do it. Lots of hassle but sure worth it.

What biopsy did your wife do that cost so much, if you don't mind me asking?

To be honest, I get a very extremely skewed picture of health costs in Singapore and Australia, because my colleagues will waive this and waive that, and hospitals will give me discounts for inpatient stays etc, since I'm a fellow health professional, and a teaching faculty member.

So, while people keep going on about how expensive things are, I just keep quiet.

Breast. No joke. Sgd7000. I am not in medical line but when I heard 7k I nearly choke. My wife was already making arrangement to take leave, confirm appointment at PD hospital etc. Thankfully company called back and confirm its covered.

In anycase honestly my Singaporean colleague (and I mean Singaporean born) tells me that health care in Singapore is crazy expensive. For older folks they gets lots of rebate but for young folks like them practically nothing. And for all insurance claim they have to co pay such is their regulation.

Anyway i think that's the case for most developed nation. One thing I am very thankful for is malaysia public hospital and insurance.

Sorry to hear that about your wife. I hope she's all good now. SGD7000 is on the high side, even for private hospitals. I don't know when this was done, but this may not have been in line with MOH's latest fee guidelines. Obviously, the technical difficulties of the patient will alter the guideline fees somewhat, but I guess the important thing was that your wife's all well now. And that it was covered by insurance (which makes me wonder whether the price was "adjusted" to take that into account).

You can check out the guideline fees for a Breast Biopsy HERE

Thanks. Didn't know there a reference price. Anyway she is ok. It's benign. Been there for ages. Just that first time medical check in Singapore and they want it to be recheck.

Not sure if it was adjusted. Just glad didn't have to cough up sgd 7000. It was just 2 months ago.

Pretty sure once the hospital knew it was covered by insurance, the knives were sharpened. This is one aspect of private healthcare in Singapore that I have serious reservations about - but, again, because it really doesn't affect me (doctors even in private sector, will waive consultation fees and procedural fees for fellow doctors, or at least offer a very generous discount), I really cannot comment too much.

I heard it's faster to get PR approved now. Most of the cases are about 6 months or less, unless you're not within the selected criteria, you may require more documents, etc.

I just applied mine a couple of months ago under my wife's sponsorship but nothing so far.

Good luck bro

Facebook group 新加坡PR交流區 1 person said need more than 1 year

Some of my friends who are applying for PR say that the longer you wait, the more likely you'll get it. The rejection letter apparently comes really quickly if they deem you unsuitable/undesirable/not qualified.

Good luck to you too!

Thanks .. I need to get myself a house .. I held my pr application for 4 years due to my scholarship

It's rather random, most of the Malaysians I know got theirs within 6 months .. those from Indonesia apparently faster too recently .. those from other countries may take a little longer ..

If you're an EP holder, doubt u have to worry. S pass may take a little longer.
