TEMASEK REVIEW
The long suspected truth is finally out – that the PAP has been giving out Singapore PRs and citizenships to foreigners like toilet papers.
According to a Straits Times report today, an application for PR or citizenship takes only “four to six months to process.”
This means that a foreigner can potentially become a Singapore citizen in less than a year.
The state media reported last year of a Chinese national Zhang Yuanyuan who obtained her Singapore PR within 2 months of application. She later returned to China and participated in its National Day Rally.
There appear to be no QC on the foreigners being granted Singapore PR – even construction workers, cleaners, masseurs and prostitutes were given PRs relatively easily.
The lax criteria for Singapore PR is in stark contrast with the stringent requirements laid down by other countries.
For example, applicants for Malaysian PR “must have resided in the country for a continuous period of not less than five years under a valid entry permit preceding the date of application.”
In Australia, prospective migrants “must have an occupation that is listed on the Skilled Occupation List if they are not sponsored by a state or territory government.”
They also need to pass an English proficiency test known as IELTS and reside three out of five years in Australia before they can even apply for its PR.
There is no minimum residency period for Singapore PR. Neither do applicants need to pass an English proficiency test.
As a result, Singapore has been swarmed by large number of PRs and new citizens who are unable to speak a single word of English.
Due to the PAP’s liberal immigration and pro-foreigner policies, foreigners now make up 36 percent of Singapore’s population, up from 14 percent in 1990. Of the remaining 64 percent who are citizens, an increasing number are born overseas.
Faced with a potential backlash from the voters at the coming elections, the PAP is cutting back on the inflow of foreigners to appease the public.
Singaporeans should not be deceived by the latest political gimmick by the PAP again.
During the recent May Day Rally, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong called for the “understanding” of Singaporeans to accept a greater influx of foreigners in the near future.
Unless Singaporeans send a strong message at the next election, they will surely be relegated to being a second class minority in their own country pretty soon.
No wonder so many foreigners in Singapore nowadays.

Cannot be. Last time, Chinese immigrants flood into Singapore by the thousands to be coolie but now a Singapore Chinese cannot accept immigrants coming into Singapore to make their fortune.
What does it matter how long the application process takes? It's not as though It takes a year to review a case. What matters is the criteria that cases are approved on, such as how long the applicant has been in Singapore prior to applying for PR.
Speaking of which, for Indian nationals, the PR processing time currently takes 6 months exactly. Chinese nationals are given PR-on-arrival (I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the case one day!)

+1000000
The old immigrants now cry foul!
No need to talk about PR Citizenship all that. Foreign workers can come to Singapore to work with a S pass.... dun even need PR or Citizenship lor... take few days only.
for e pass/employement pass, it takes only a few hours, some of them get it on the way here by plane. Like today they apply, take a plane tomorrow, reach singapore, go thru custom and offer receipt, custom officer check internet on the E pass net, clear them on the spot.

Wah.. even faster than I thought. LOL... Like tat hire Singaporean more mafan? Need their IC photocopy... go CPF apply account for them???
but e pass are mostly for top talent grade, the like of MDs, CEOs, Bosses, who really got no time to go and make all those stupid pass, and as singapore as a business hub region, knows that you need to get these peoples fast and try not to delay their coming here, once they are in, settle down, bring their families here, study here, hopefully they stay on.
Remember September!

There are rumors saying that it will be held after the youth olympics this year.
Originally posted by ditzy:I verify the 4-6 months process as accurate.
This is the duration for the paper work, from the time the application is submitted.
The eligibility for citizenship and PR status are a different matter.
i can understand the importance of economic growth and the productivity frontier....but a lack of socio-psychological (or EQ) could not sustain the country further as well....
ok - someone ought to do the dirty jobs and so bangalas can do it....cos we can't except for those poor older folks their children didn't have the heart to maintain them...
we can use them for dirty jobs....but when it comes to privilege sharing....Sg must come first....unless those foreign talents can really prove themselves and govt to assure all willing locals a job first....
that is important so that local talents would not leave.....
