usually u need to go tru agent cos to rent out rooms u fora hdb flat u need a license to do tat else its illegal

regarding the flat rental in the webpage, can it be negotiated?? Around how much can be negotiated?

There is no such rule in HDB for the owner to sublet a room. This might be fake story create by agent.

renting out the whole flat is different story. So it's quite often that the owner will rent out the whole flat but lock one room. So it's assumed that they will reside in the house when the gov come and check..

Wah...why monday dinner?make it weekend mah....

what's the point to rush ourself to become Singapore Citizenship???

True. Both Malaysia and Singapore only allow you to hold one citizenship ie. you have to give up your Malaysian citizenship. So unless you are running for Sg politics, want to become a senior civil servant or trying to avoid being extradited back to Malaysia - I don't see any need to become a Sg citizen.

well i'm renting the whole unit n yes its a 2 room unit

I'm no expert in regional politics, but doesn't SG and MY have an extradition treaty (either bilaterally or through ASEAN) anyway?

Yes they do. Poor choice of words on my part... should have used deported.

does become sg citizen better than PR benefit such as subsidised HDB and hospital benefit?much more cheaper education etc.Moreover red passport so can travel anywhere without visa.cmiiw.

at least you don't need a visa to visit the States or Japan. In fact, I think a Sg passport could get you anywhere apart from India and China without a visa.

EMmm?!if there is a difference in subsidiary for HDB and hospital etc, then you might think whether want to live in this country for a very long period. if no difference, then I find it no point as we only have a chance to change citizenship in our life. if in later stage u find out AUSSIE country more better, you will not have a chance to do so anymore.

you mean one person can change one citizenship in a life only?

any idea how is the IT market in Singapore now?

As far as I can tell, the only real advantage citizens have over PRs in terms of subsidies, is the baby bonus which is for kids born to a citizen parent only. HDB housing grants are available to citizens and PRs too as long as they are married. Medical subsidies are slightly different between citizens and PRs, but if your pay is halfway decent, it's not going to be much to begin with anyway since they do means testing.

Anyway, to me, travel visas are just too trivial and will not factor into my decision to change citizenship.

Personally for me, I will only give up Malaysian citizenship if the racial and religious discrimination does not get better soon.
