Hello !
Just wanted to share the good news about my brothers PR. He just got approved this morning after a 22 month wait.
Sharing his profile
Race Indian
Nationality Chinese ( Hong Kong passport )
Age 41
Time in Singapore : 6 years
Job: Managing director of his own trading company ( Importer and Exporter of food and beverage )
Salary : 240k not including companies profits
Divorced and no children
Has 2 staff working for him ( Singaporeans )
He pays quite alot of company tax ( over 200 k annually ) which I think is one of the reasons he may have got it.
Just wanted to share his profile as a give back to everyone who contributes to this wonderful forum.
Thank you

Congrats to your bro, interesting background being Indian with a HK passport… I think that’d make anyone do a double take!

Congrats!
How did he open a company before obtaining PR?
I thought you need to have a PR to register a company or maybe am wrong.
200K Company Tax annually? What’s the revenue of his company?

Yup. Especially our nationalities Chinese and some immigration officers are confused when looking at us. We were both born and brought up in Hong Kong. Naturalised as Chinese citizens around 20 years ago. Previously with Indian passports.
