Actually, I'm not sure what you two are talking about, since bedok claims to have successfully renounced his citizenship and received his deferment, exit permits etc.sundaymorningstaple wrote:Do you feel lucky? It's only a prison term and a rather large fine........

JP, we told him that after his first post. He keeps coming back with the same insecurities over and over. So, feed his insecurities then as that seems to be what he wants. Education seems to be a terrible thing when one doesn't comprehend simple English after going to school in Canada.
Oh, by the way, read my whole post, I already said it was all in my imagination which means all things being sorted in a ideal situation.
And with that clown in the White House, who knows what's going to happen next.

Plenty. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Singapore does not grant citizenship by birth in Singapore alone. At least one parent must be Singaporean. So there are a lot of people with foreign passports but Singapore as their place of birth because both their parents are not Singaporean. There are also a lot of Singaporeans with a foreign country as their place of birth.bedok wrote:well are there actually many people that come to singapore with different passports but were born in singapore?
Place of birth is probably not as big a warning sign (though it might be) as citizenship or PR, even if renounced. They know a lot about you if you were once a citizen or PR. With biometric passports, it is probably all automatic and no one has to be consciously alerted. The officer just has to scan the passport whichever country it is from and if any features match a former citizen the flags go up, whether you have changed your name, citizenship, or maybe even gender. Things like fingerprints and facial recognition will give anyone away.
The possibility of advance information is even scarier, because it means defaulters can be caught in transit even if they never try to clear customs.

Which is exactly the scenario I am invisioning in the not too far distant future. If a database is programmed with a query with enough parameters, it will give the immigration officer a much smaller 'choice' and flag a passport for "interview" for greater details.

Didn't America already bring this in? I remember an uproar about the US wanting details of all passengers on all incoming flights to be transmitted to them when the flight had taken off.Your passport details had been taken down at the departure counters and the originating country of the flight? How hard would it be to transmit that data to the scheduled airport disembarkation point of that ticket.
I can't remember if the EU told them to stick it. I think they did. Not sure if the arse-kissing, c*ck-sucking UK goverment (I'm British so have rights to call them that

Don't p*ss me off! I am running out of places to hide the bodies.
See above. Unfortunately, the EU bent over, and promptly started planning a scheme of its own to require other countries to give it the same info.ukdesigner wrote:Didn't America already bring this in?
