Chinese applying for PR - approved?

[derrongsun]

Seeing quite a bit of negativity on the board about certain race applying for PR and got rejected. Wondering if the case for the Chinese (whether you be from China, HK, Taiwan, or elsewhere) is any better. With the political climate, seems like the garmen want to increase the number of chinese in the society. Also, haven't seen much PR rejection for Chinese on this board.

Want to check the current situation. Has any chinese who applied for PR recently got approved or rejected? How long did it take for the process?

It all depends which part of the continent your Chinese are ?
Mainland Chinese. Malaysian Chinese, HK Chinese, Filipino Chinese
Big Difference in approval

The reason you won't see many mainland Chinese complaining about being rejected on here is that most don't speak English

Ok MS, what are the different levels of success you mentioned for the different chinese groups?

Malaysia Chinese?
HK Chinese?
Taiwan Chinese?
Mainland Chinese?
Other-Asian Chinese?
American Chinese?
European Chinese?

1. M'sia Chinese
2. Indon Chinese
3. Peen Chinese
4. HK Chinese
5. European/US/OZ Chinese
6. SEA countries Chinese
7. PRC

Hi, MS, How about other race? Not Chinese . Like Korean, Indonesian, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese, Myanmar, Laotian, Cambodian. Assume one has a degree recognise in Singapore by MOM and ICA.

It is upto ICA to decide and would be confidential. No one would be able to predict too..

I don't know if I agree with MS assessment on the Mainland Chinese. Singapore is trying to establish fatherly ties with China right now and has made desperate pleas to ask more of them to come and support the economy - perhaps that's why you see more Mainland Chinese here in SG than any other Chinese groups.

Withe the fatherly ties, I honestly think the Mainland Chinese is much higher on the PR approval list, albeit be hidden agenda.

If that's what you think, good on ya. But be aware that doing so will cost the government even more votes in the next election as the locals here literally hate mainland PRC's. Tick off the locals, the complain with their vote. Now, if you were the government in power, what would YOU do?

You think so

Then this one would not be an issue
A Chinese national and Singapore Permanent Resident by the name of Zhang Yuanyuan humiliated Singapore publicly on China’s CCTV by flashing her NRIC on the screen and subsequently declared her undivided loyalty to her motherland, China!

Do you know how many jobs in ICA were loss due to this debacle ?
This and many were a big slapped at the Gahmen face.
Remember Suzhou Industrial Project that was "a supposed joint venture between SG and PRC" LKY lost this plot big time !!
You think SG Gahmen forgets. Gahmen may forgive but never forget

If you are not Malay Malaysian and Muslim Indonesian, your chances are all equal as there is not much diff. Funny part is Bruneian are welcome. Maybe due to the currency pegging between two countries.
Right now I dare say, our sub continent friends and PRCs are vetted closely on every application.
It is when someone do the sh*t and it became all too common and sticks out like a sore thumb, only then it became an issue
Generally apart from Arab nations and Malays, if the quotas is available , you will get it.

SG is well-known for being a "pragmatic" society. Why is the gahman allowing and promoting all these foreign workers to come in? Among other reasons, the main one being economic growth (punch above its weight as MM Lee puts it). Why does the gahman care about economic growth - since it generates income for them and who is the ultimate benefactor?

Where is the L's family stashing away their retirement funds? In Malaysia? The answer should give a good hint on which country the gahman is befriending.

You are still wet around your nose. Get a grip please. What happen to Harry now ? He is being dumped by his own son. You know why? He is not perfect and he made alot of blunders . The citizen and those around him saw it but scared Sh't to tell him so. Now his son do the dumpster thing on him. You know why as Loong said "Let the healing process begins"
You can control the game but the field does not belongs to you. It belongs to the people of SG. History has shown from Libya to Indonesia, there is a certain amount of patience the locals will tolerate and when it reaches the boiling point, even the timid ones are ready to die. Or you forgot the Tiannamen Massacre

Wrong again. Yes, Indonesia and many countires including China. The GLC/GIC investment of SG Inc has a seven basket denomination diversification. While SG cannot ignore China for the very reason of economic survival. India is also proving another alternative choice. The Gahmen has making in roads to this country too. But alas all the bullions is in Gold and under wraps in US bank
You know what? The rate of Malaysian Chinese PR approval is only One to three months. PRC , PR applications take a stab or else you would not becoming here looking for answer?
You sounds like a broken record to me. You know nuts about SG economy and its history.

Thanks, MS. I think if salary and academic are quite good, race does not have much weight. But, anyway, I think it is yet good time for other race to apply PR now.
