It would bring some advantages to both locals and also to foreigners.
How high is this possibility?
I think in a way, I'm thinking also of the possibility of this place being a sort of free trade zone, some sort of controlled area when people coming in will just be monitored in terms of trade and economic benefits.
Maybe Papist might even do away with the notion of being a government, they might just formally declare themselves to be a corporate entity, no more elections, no more vote buyings, no more citizens headache for them.
The existing local citizens will have to change their ways and send their young to obtain another citizenships, and the old existing ones will continue to receive their citizens basic cares till they die off. Those that do not obtain dual citizenships will be of a disadvantage at their own perils.
The rich will benefit more, the poor will just disappear, ammenities like healthcare, will be market rates, subsidies only for their own corporate men, with their own personal army and police. An economy zone which can trade across the world, without the notion of human rights issues or sovereignty issues.
you are dreaming

Yes, granted that Papist are wary of foreign interventions, if ever voting becomes one of the priviledges being granted, but foreigners, to the Papist could bring businesses more easily to our shores, and if they find that their health care services are better in their homeland, they could easily go back to retire, thus saving the Papist government of more money.
As long as Papist remain in power, to me, it does not matter who are their subjects, and they can form more alliances with other countries, behaving more like a big corporate monster than before.
They already have control of all army and police, they could just include them into their lists of oligarchy commitments, to feed them better.
if u were to give up yr citizenship here, u can withdraw all yr cpf. come tat time, u have to rename this place as SINK A PORE
LKY legacy remain in place and untouched forever. A win - win situation for PAPist.
it hard to let it go wen you r in power till u r forced so

What does protest do except tarnish the image of a country? Drag the lousy government out of power and replace with a more capable one is the best solution.

How to drag? Half of the citizen still too insecure to want change n vote for PAP.
Tarnish wat? Even if tarnish, only for a while, after tat, everyone will forget wan. See Thailand. After the Red Protest, the stock market go back to normal.
Sometime, ballot box don't work wan. In the GE, PAP machinery is very strong, they can influence us through the media and their famous scare tactic tat we still need to rely on PAP, without PAP we die.
We need govt to feel our public anger n disatisfaction. Hsien Loong keep on saying tis and tat but in the end, all our job taken by foreigners n then the low income all suffering from high cost n cannot afford to buy property.
Let u know first. I am full of debts and commitment now. My pocket only left with 300 dollars now for this new year. Luckily my parents had finished installment for the HDB and whole family income is about 1.3k. I am unemployed. So suffering now.
If many of the singaporean is in the situation like me. If really protest is on, i will follow man.
A unhappy new year for me.
I will not be in a better position if that happens, but PAPist current governing has really stretched my imagination. I would just like to highlight what more worse could follows if PAPist win this election, they are perfectly capable of this atrocity.
a new term for foreigners in 2011 .....
VALUE-ADD CITIZENSHIP (VAC) will only be considered

No, they got a scapegoat opposition party like the Singapore Acrobatic Party to scare normal singaporeans.
It would be a great advantage for Singapore government n foreign countries to practice dual citizenship.Many countries already practice that.
But then again,we all know PAP ministers method of doing things,that is No "U-Turn".
dual citixenship???i gots triple citizenship:)
