How long is a piece of string? Nobody here actually works for ICA and they keep their card VERY close to their collective chests.

Re: Is there a place or rent in Singapore (nearby NUS) with an affordable price?
That's why I didn't reply late last night (wee hours this morning). Affordable is relative, but to what?

Re: ChatGPT calculates your PR Probability!
Sadly in the Singapore context it is virtually worthless if it doesn't take into consideration race/ethnicity and age & fertility because we all know Singapore also uses immigration to bolster it's (in it's eyes) ideal demographic percentages and future NS needs. Good for discussion but please don't...

Probability of rejection 100%. If you don't listen to those who have come before you, what do you expect.

Re: Buying property in Singapore as dual-nationality
Good luck with that. They would cotton to that immediately I would suspect. If you tried to change passports to change connection to PR you may not be approved and then you would be hoist by your own petard.

That's right. I forgot you were a budding beauty photographer with the ladies here back in the day....... fortunately I didn't meet your criteria. I have seen some of your work and it wasn't bad. Are you still a shutterbug?

He was about 5ft 6ins and would be in his late 40's early fifties. If you have any knowledge or information I wou...

Re: Thinking of Divorce
Anyway she's probably got nobody else to talk to, if I'm reading the context correctly. Being a foreigner and all. And she has been on this board for 3 years as an active participant so we are actually a listening ear. Sometimes that can make all the difference in the world.
