Been reading thru the forum and managed to get bits and pieces of info abt the above. I do have some questions though.
Firstly, I am SG woman with SG PR (M'sia) husband. We have a son born in USA last year (so he is a US citizen). We are currently living in USA.
I am wondering if I shd apply for SG citizenship for him.
Understand from the forum that if he's out of Singapore by 11 yrs old, he will not be liable to serve NS, but how abt the bond thing? Do we still have to pay for the exorbitant bond?
What if we do go back without SG citizenship, can he easily be a PR?
All your inputs will be greatly appreciated!

You are right, mate. I gave up my Singapore citizenship some years ago.Anonymous wrote:"no... sometimes... the grass outside Singapore isn't greener on the

Not for you, perhaps. Tell that to the more than 100,000 Singaporeans currently working and living overseas and the joke's on you, mate.
I am from Adelaide. To complete your renounciation, you have to return the Singapore passport to the Sing gov.Anonymous wrote:Congratulations, mate.

that is because the singapore companies sent them there for work, like branch manager/supervisor. Yes, i myself would like to work in other countries, but will definately retain my citizenship of Singapore.Anonymous wrote:"no... sometimes... the grass outside Singapore isn't greener on the

sg isnt too bad a place.. i believe there are plus and minus anywhere you go.. here probably its more competitive.. so much so that kids can go into depression so i read.. though not as bad as in korea or japan?Anonymous wrote:Geez, even a Singaporean himself doesn't want his offsprint to be one.
