Hi guys,
I am 25 yrs old male, from Malaysia.
I studied in Singapore since primary 1 and all along, I was identified as foreigner and using Fin no.
And then, I graduated from local University 2 years ago...got myself a job and PR status.
Right now, I have decided to go for conversion to Singaporean.
But what puzzles me is the question of whether I need to serve for NS?
It would be hell for me if I were to resign from my current job and bond 2 years with the army.
I would like to seek option from anyone who had the same situation as me.
Thank you

Yes I was born here.
But I wasn't granted citizenship or PR because both my parents were not PR all along.
So now I was considered 1st generation PR.
From your reply, I assume that MINDEF would consider PR who is 2nd generation rather than those who is 1st generation PR regardless of what age group you are?

I am sorry I cannot provide you this info as my information is likely to mislead others and much worse than you ecurelix.

If you were born here, then it is a different case
Maybe Mad Scientist can clarify .. My exposure is limited ...
