Thankfully, the Gahmen as wised up now and if you don't apply for your male children, either you will be rejected for PR or you may find, if you do have PR, your REP may well not be renewed. It's about time the abusers are nipped in the bud so there are slots open for more deserving families.
It's because of this abuse that PRs are now having their subsidies severely curtailed, reduced and/or eliminated.

I totally agree with this.
In addition to this, I also think applying for PR unless you have made up your mind to settle down in a country is a abuse (Whether it's Singapore or any other country).
My only thing is I am unable to see SC as a stepping stone to a western country for most Indians. Most Indians I see on this post are actually engineers (credibility of Indian education is a different and a very valid debate). I don's see a lot of nurses from India on this forum.
All I am saying is SC seems overhyped as a stepping stone.
