Profile is good, but the sticking point is going to be your ethnicity/nationality. You fall under "others" and are competing with all others (e.g., not chinese, Indian or Malay) in the world trying as well.

Thanks for your reply.

Can I continue to file US taxes for the stocks instead of paying 30%?

You're above my pay grade. Speak to a CPA.

Thanks for clarifying the SRS situation. I need to remember to top it up soon before end of Dec.

SPC is owned by the red Chinese as well.

The usual ah beng rant on CPF from Singaorean's is that the gahmen stole my money which is of course completely baseless. The second rant is "I want my money now when I am 55"; forgetting that literally SCORES of their fathers either lost all their CPF to scams, or buggered off to Batam to marry the...

MP will not service non SC folk.
