I’d think that when you’ve been stateless all your life you take what you can get, especially when it’s as strong as SGC
Some of these folks are not well informed, and influenced by bad apples.

At 21 I hardly consider not being well-informed a valid excuse.

Be careful, you are starting to sound privileged. Have a watch and you’ll know what I mean…

On the converse, I feel like this proves my point. With so many people yearning for citizenship it’s crazy how he could just turn it down like that.

So my question is does anyone know of the consequences of ignoring the deadline?
Does anyone know the answer to this when the deadline is years ago? How would ICA respond if one visits Singapore now (using passport from another country where he's a naturalized citizen)?

How ICA responded to that case may not be the same on how they will respond to you. Each case will have something that is slightly different from the other.

Not much. There is a validity period to take it up which has expired. From memory is one year after 21 for those on PR prior NS or One year after being offered citizenship. Once you passed that date, unless there is an extension given on very strong grounds, sayonara !!
There is algorithm involved on who gets or who doesn't. Same like everything else in SG
The person at the front counter knows sh*t. He/she holds a 10 years series Cambridge answer book in their pocket. Never once outside the box . If you have this problem , this is the answer. Been there done that, I hated it!!
Please remember this is SG gahmen, money comes first before human lives.
No feeling nor compassion
I can give sh*load of real life example but you will get the picture
There is always two side of the story of every single one of these people in this situation. Do you want to hear Gahmen's side of the story or theirs?
The Gahmen will paint whatever they want , they own the field, the goalpost and all the bits.
You want to play , you play by their rule.
So stop being shocked or puzzle on why, what, how, who and when, even if the thread is wet by touching it , the gahmen will state it is dry
The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.Yahoo !!!

Yup, money comes before all else
