Did you get PR under your parent's sponsorship?h2oreos wrote:Hello,
I am currently 15, turning 16 at the end of march. I wasn’t born in Singapore but I have PR status. I am currently studying in a private school and I finish sometime in June, after which I plan to leave Singapore and cancel my PR status.
As far as I know, I only need to register once I am 16 and a half, so does that mean if I cancel my PR status before September I am legally exempted from NS?

SF is asking how did you obtain your PR status? Is it through your parent’s sponsorship? I.e. making you a 2nd generation PR.h2oreos wrote:Im not really sure what this means?

You should inform CMPB of your intention of this. They will help navigate so you don't get an enlistment letter. At that age and not having received any socioeconomic benefits it should be ok.Forest 123 wrote: ↑Mon, 01 Jul 2019 9:03 amMy son is 11yr old PR under my sponsorship but has never studied or stay in SG as we stay in JB. My PR is due for renewal next year and I plan not to renew his PR. Will he get enlistment letter for NS when he reach 16.5 or 17 year old?

So, if the guy served NS but was a general screw-up, why would the SG Gov't want him as a citizen? Cannon Fodder is one thing, but to have to potentially be "required" to give him citizenship JUST because he did NS, would be preposterous from a government's point of view. Why take him out of the military and potentially have to pay for his upkeep in Jail for who knows what. By the time he does 21~23 months of NS, they will already know what kind of asset or dickhead he is. A little common sense might be in order here.2. Even if one serves Singapore NS with the aim of getting Singapore citizenship afterwards, there is no guarantee of success. Admittedly, the majority of applicants are successful, but some are not. Imagine givng 2 years of your life to a country, and its govt not even granting you citizenship. Talk about gratitude!;
