The point is somewhat obscure with regards to citizenship but the laws on holding more than one country's passports is very clear. Otherwise there would not be such a heavy penalty for lying on a passport application. So while you might have never renounced Singapore Citizenship, you could NOT legally obtain or renew a Singapore Passport. Without which, if outside of Singapore, citizenship won't go very far unless you have the relevant travel document. If you are in Singapore you don't need it. But if you come into Singapore on another country's passport, you will be an overstayer if you stay beyond the limitations of your visa. Catch 22.APPLICATION FOR SINGAPORE BIOMETRIC PASSPORT
