I think, I might be wrong, but some opinions about employing Malaysian PR.  some compaines - no need NS for male employee, no need to excuse them unlike Singaporeans.  advantages as can be seen.  but again not all like that.  PR can have better bargaining terms like locals, at least, 13month bonus is must in SG law on top of bonus if any should company do well. 

If you look for SG Gov job, I don't think any difference because they employ based on qualification and requirement set.  Scholarship is not an issue, only think is, should you take up any busary or so, you are requried to work for a few years. 

However, PR nowadays only enjoy some form of subsidy at Gov medical clinics, not sure about hospital.  Unlike  in the past, PR enjoy better benefits than locals because there is no NS and whatever Singaproeans gain from Gov, they do.  Of course, when it comes to Gov's assistance package to help Singaporeans to get on with  living conditions, Inflation, recession, etc...  PR don't get anything.  SG Gov is giving out aids package again in Oct 08 to ease inflation and hardship, etc... only Singaporeans get it.

As compared to what? A citizen? Or a EP holder?

It's essentially a long term visa. Not a qualification or certification. You don't pay anything for it, and you can't sell it. What 'value' are you looking for, and how does the 'value' drop if it's easy to get?
