Yes man But it’s gonna be a rejection 110%.
Was talking to my singaporean friend and he was pretty brutal in telling me how the Indian race is considered the worst at the bottom of the barrel even compared to European or Eurasian. He was a bit saucy but can tell how singaporean people think in general of Indian people, doe it is what it is!
He was telling me that I would never get a PR here and that the government will never give PR to Indian unless they invest or employ 100’s of locals. Truth hurts !
The real reason is, and we have said this numerous time over the past 12 months (12 years), not what you are espousing. The reason is that of the approx 30K PR to be given out every year, if you are Indian, that you have approximately 2250 PR slots allocated (slots are allocated by the demographic concentrations already in Singapore and the government is using immigration to sustain the demographic percentages as they are. Indians are 7.5% of the PR/SGC population, Malays 14.5%, Chinese 76.5 percent and the rest by "others" (1.5%). However, the largest actual number of people applying for PR every year are Indians. This multitude of Indians are all competing for the same 2,250 spots. Most of these people have good degrees, incomes between 100~400K/pa and are in high tech or financial industries and all competing for the same small limited number of slots. Those that are married with kids (especially males) are obviously more desirable due to Singapore having the lowest FTR in the world, as they need to have NS men. So, if you are late middle age (e.g., over 40 and single or married but without children you will not be as desirable as someone who does with other things being nearly equal.
The largest number of PR applicants every years are vying for the next to smallest slice of the pie. The Government doesn't really care that the local Indian population aren't more friendly, but the problem is, it's a two way street when Northern Indians refuse to assimilate with the local, predominately Tamil, natives of the soil here who have been here for generations. This shortcoming is not their issue. This is their home. The dislike of Indians comes from the fact that when one gets into positions of power, they only hire other Indians to the detriment of the greater population. That bias is what gets you all in trouble. This came to a head in 2011 and again in 2015 during the GEs.
Doe a little research on the archives here, you will see that there are a number of Indians who have gained PR here on this forum and most are not extremely wealthy or extremely high earners nor are they employers at all, let alone with companies of 100s of local staff. You are competing with your own countrymen. As you have said, which I agree with but with my facts, it is what it is.
