I have been saying this repeatedly .. I really doubt real/pure Singaporeans would actually buy or spend in JB. I hardly hear people on my side travelling to JB very frequent. Likely once or twice a year.

On the other hand, the ones that actually spend in JB are likely ex-malaysian or have a malaysian spouse or PR. Basically, these are the people who are killing JB. RTS benefits those living in JB more, not the Singaporeans.

So basically, prices will be inflated.

We can count on one hand the number of times we have been in JB…,

Do we need to provide our Singapore PR IC number to the singapore bank?

I thought Malaysians use their Malaysian IC number to open a bank account in singapore,but not a work pass ID.
My DBS bank, OCBC bank, and Maybank savings accounts in Singapore all use my Malaysian IC number to open.

A lot of Malaysian Chinese aspiring artists go this route, while a lot of Singaporean Malay aspiring artists do the reverse. Nothing new.

Do note .. if your landlord removes your name from the unit, they will be able to trace. And, that will somehow affect your PR application getting rejected.

I always remove tenant names after they move out. Risky to leave them there in case of Ah Long activities.

Do you know why do Singapore citizens or PR ICs no longer display blood type information on the back?

I saw a relative's old photocopied IC that issued in 1992.

It seems that for the country of birth, they wrote Kedah instead of Malaysia.

It also shows his blood type as " O+ " on the back."
*
IINM it’s because the hospitals can now cross match and type A patient’s blood group much faster now.

And the first two digits of his IC number do not follow the year of birth like ours now.

For example, if I was born in 1990, my IC number starts with 90.

Your relative was born earlier than 1968

What are you talking about? You said your relative’s IC was issued in 1992. And you said he was born in 1988.

4 year old kids don’t get ICs.

You gotta stop whatever it is you’re smoking bro… and fast.

Maybe young PRs do? Not too sure. My daughter uses her birth cert as her IC. Maybe the same for his case?

Anyway, the question is, why would TS being overly concerned of it? Does it really matter though? As long he gets an IC why bother? Haha
*
Birth Cert number is the same as IC number - you are correct, but TS said IC not birth cert… hence my confusion

Singapore is very rigorous with checking. And, the process has always been the same. Nothing has changed actually, you have to submit numerous required documents for the process. The good thing is you submit it online now.

PR rate is low, you have to wait for a vacancy before you're even considered for the slot. Basically, 1 in 1 out now.

Population just hit 6m…. More wanting to come in than to get out

They will slow down the applications for now to manage the sentiments.

You read the forums, Singaporeans are really unhappy and election is around the corner. So probably slow down to manage the numbers and improve sentiment until elections are over.

I agree.

Guys...

If me and my kids apply for PR. For some reason we surrender our PR before serving NS. What will happen to my kids? I have got version:

1. Kids can never set foot in Singapore else will be jail
2. Kids can sill visit Singapore but cannot work in SG

nothing will happen.

*
Not true bro. I have 1st generation PR patients whose (2nd generation PR) kids cannot return to Singapore to work because they gave up their PR'ship before their NS liabilities were fully discharged.

I have a Malaysian ex-PR who did that, and is now only given a year to year employment pass to set up his own business (in joint partnership with a Singaporean).

They do make life difficult for you.

Issue is not that I don't want them to serve NS. in fact I thibk it is good for them. Problem is, job security and other social issue.
Yes in a dilemma. But so far different people giving me different answer.
I just want to know the options.

QUOTE(keelim @ Sep 25 2024, 12:17 AM)
Put it simply,

“Option” in SG comes at a premium. Huge premium.

Don’t try to game the system. It is as fool proof as it can get unless you can afford the premium.

If you need to secure the premium with job security, it is likely a very real risk. Usually, the solution is the inevitable…
*
You are correct ... don't game the system. Singapore's bureaucracy is very good at the minutiae and closing any potential loopholes. Unless you're a helang, you will not find a way to squirm away from the trap they've laid for you.

Obviously, if you're a helang, many eyes can be closed and many doors will mysteriously open.

bro
read properly

he is asking when BOTH (parent and child) drop PR

ur case mention about is kid drop PR but parent still PR

different la dey
*
I'm answering his question regarding what will happen to his kids... Regardless whether parents drop PR or not, the kid is the one that suffers. The punishment is meted out to the kid, who has NS liabilities. 1st generation PRs like myself are exempt from NS.

Renouncing or losing one's PR status without serving or completing full-time NS will
have a serious adverse impact on applications to work or study in Singapore, or for any longterm immigration facilities in Singapore, whether now or in the future. Renouncing or losing
one’s PR status without serving or completing full-time NS will also adversely affect your
family members’ applications for long-term immigration facilities, their ability to sponsor such
facilities, their renewal of Re-Entry Permits, or their applications for Singapore Citizenship.

You're wrong. If you Google, you would end up with the phrase above. So, it will affect 3 generations. His kid, his grandkids and himself.

Bro, no point arguing…. If he thinks it’s ok, then good for him.
