Ofcors, he can be the poster child for SG immigration.
His wife is Indonesian, American passport needs to apply for visa everytime he goes visiting his in-laws leh, lead time about 2 weeks. So inconvenient lorrrr...Singapore passport no need visa lah.....
Hopefully Larry keeps his job, or he already has enough nest eggs to rely on, else he woulda be so screwed.
I'm quite surprised GoParlan havn't figured this out.

I think, these New Citizens THEY are granting in large numbers.. well, the more the merrier.Coz in my opinion, these are the people who WILL NOT simply grumble online - they will take to the streets & when hauled to jail their Mainland will come knocking on THEIR doors.
Once the novelty of being a New Citizen wears off, and reality sinks in.. good luck... they aren't docile.

The collectors will compress the cans to make it easier to carry and also can carry more, so sometime, on the road you see ah peks or ah ma throw cans on the road for cars to run over it, dun be alarm ya, i used to use my Honda to compress for them.
The can metal will be send to each town collection areas, then lorries will collect them all back to somewhere in jurong for selling again to recycle firms. By that time the price will be 1kg = 80 or 90 cents depend on the price of Metal of the day.
One of my customer is a towkay in can collection, he has 8 lorries/pick up, morning he use his lorries to ferry workers in jurong as a transport business, afternoon, he deployed his lorries to collect and bought back all the cans to his run down warehouse office in penjuru, , then he repack them nicely with his workers, and sell it at the recycle firms. He said he is 54yo now, long ago, in his 20s, he was a playboy and lost all his money his family pass down to him, he got very less education, i think only Sec 2. So, in order to support his mother and sisters, he collect cans and cardboard at nights and wkends to supplement his daily job as a lorry driver then. Slowly, he realised the potential to start a business, registered a business, gone thru up and down, get married to a Hanian gal at 38 yo, got a son and two pretty daughters, two condos, a BMW, an office cum warehous and bought another warehouse to rent out. No CPF

In The Singapore Story, Lee Kuan Yew pointedly explains that the
three and a half years of Japanese occupation were the most important of my life. They gave me vivid insights into the behaviour of human beings and human societies, their motivations and impulses. My appreciation of governments, my understanding of power as the vehicle for revolutionary change, would not have been gained without this experience.
First of all, he observed "a whole social system "built upon assumptions of British military and cultural superiority" crumble suddenly before an occupying army that was absolutely merciless. The Japanese . . . were hated by almost everyone but everyone knew their power to do harm and so everyone adjusted." People who accepted the Japanese as their new masters prospered, whereas those who did not lost money and status.
Second, he learned that fear of brutal punishment can deter crime:
The Japanese Military Administration governed by spreading fear. It put up no pretence of civilised behaviour. Punishment was so severe that crime was very rare. In the midst of deprivation after the second half of 1944, when the people half-starved, it was amazing how low the crime rate remained. . . . As a result I have never believed those who advocate a soft approach to crime and punishment, claiming that punishment does not reduce crime. That was not my experience in Singapore before the war, during the Japanese occupation or subsequently.
"I learnt more from the three and a half years of Japanese occupation," he states again a few pages later, "than any university could have taught me". A third lesson, in particular, remmained with him his entire life -- that power can make people change their ways of thinking and acting:
I had not yet read Mao's dictum that "power grows out of the barrel of a gun", but I knew that Japanese brutality, Japanese guns, Japanese bayonets and swords, and Japanese terror and torture . . . could make people change their behaviour, even their loyalties. The Japanese not only demanded and got their obedience; they forced them to adjust to a long-term prospect of Japanese rule, so that they had their children educated to fit the new system, its language, its habits and its values, in order to be useful and make a living.

“I learnt how people survived and how people had to submit because you need to eat and your family need to live, so I learned the meaning of power. In a sense that power comes out in the barrel of a gun and when the Japanese gun was not as big as the American gun they surrendered and the British came back.”

Actually most of the singaporean who still support PAP are those low educated Hokkien Speaking oldie true local born citizen. They has no access to internet and can only listen to state controlled source radio,TV or newspaper regarding development of Spore.
They are naive and despite ended up in low income cleaner, rubbish collector just to make month end. All u need is some brainwashed and a few hundred GST ang bao and u can easily convince them to vote for PAP again.
My company there got a few cleaner workers, 40/50 plus of age and work for a mediocre $700 a month becos of influx of Chinese cleaner to clamp down their salary but they still happily claim PAP is good. Give them $$$ and they want to continue vote for them....

Frankly, there is no age limit of people who support PAP.
I have a uncle in his fifty, teochew, who supports the PAP and he voices out that without PAP he will not be able to enjoy life in Singapore. He forgets that it is his wife who supports him, he does not work, the wife is the one who works and supports him.

Very sad the direction the country is heading.
If you go online and check out forums and blogs about singapore politics, the amount of disillusionment and angry / disgruntled people is rising by the day.
Combine that with recent happenings for the past 1-2 years, it's starting to snowball into quite a big mass of grumblings.
hmmm.. it seem the PAP supporters dont blog. or the bloggers dont walk the talk.

another big gp of PAP supporters is malays. opposition fail to form a formidable malays candidates for election. that why the recently issue or equality by NMP was shot down like crows by Lee himself. u guess the rest.
another big gp is females supporters. singaporeans woman are more interested in their spas, comestics, fashion, shopping then to show even the slightest concern for singapore politics.

Hope there are more oldies that can turn to the internet or their children to help them hear the dissent of the country. A more balanced view.
The medias here suck big time.

Singaporeans are too busy being wage slaves to even care about such issues. That and the conditioning that anything that falls outside the ordinary events of their lives is irrelevant, has made Singaporean society reek of apathy.
