That one's easy.....
It's because too many are abusing "PR". PR, if you weren't aware of it, actually stands for "PERMANENT" Residence. Not a Visa which an unlimited duration so you don't have t leave after some Singaporean takes your job.
Too many people have been taking up PR only for the "visa" non-necessity it provides when they are unemployed. Other's only take it up as a stepping stone to Aus, UK, Canada or the US. The local population has been screaming it's head off because they are taking up space in local schools, buying up Resale HDB flats at inflated prices, thus driving up the housing market, and generally just causing everybody to get aggravated (like me for instance) because as a result of the abuses of PR, those of us who are actually longstayers are having our subsidies cut thanks to the abuse.
That's why.
SOME PEOPLE TRY TO TURN BACK THEIR ODOMETERS. NOT ME. I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHY I LOOK THIS WAY. I'VE TRAVELED A LONG WAY, AND SOME OF THE ROADS WEREN'T PAVED. ~ Will Rogers
