recently I got to know from my friends that we can convert to Singaporean Citizen if we are here for 3 or more years as PR.
I am a graduate from a reputed govt poly in Singapore.
I have a good pay also. (Around 1.8K per month) got PR as soon as I graduated from Poly 4 yrs back.
what i want to know is, being from a good family in India (My Father is a Central government officer). Will letter from a central government in India help in my citizenship application?
Clearly, you don't know Singapore enough like you think you do. Why don't you try reading most of the threads here
before making your next post. Also, try learning more about other jobs and other people that are vastly different from those that you know.
Educate yourself.
How dare you sir! I am from a TOP REPUTABLE University with masters, my education is better than everyone here and my father is an Indian local government pen-pusher to boot, they should be begging me to be a citizen
Hi Jaycee, Please dont make fun of me.
I dont have a masters. because, i dont have enough money to pay for my degree even. i need to take it after an year or so. then only i can even think of masters...
but there are citizens in this country who dont even have teh O levels! so is the Government gonna banish them from the country>>>??

I really dont understand you Nakatago. I know so many people with that salary and they are living a high life...
Well, apparently, it's not only me that you don't understand.

Hahaha, you're getting better and better - very entertaining for a Friday!
Obviously, you have no idea what it takes and how difficult it is to be a manager. There IS a reason almost all good managers are paid tens of thousands - they are rare and they are worth it!
(Just as an indication: Did you ever notice those colonial bungalows in the greener parts of Singapore? Every single one of them costs S$20000-40000 per month in rent - and most of the inhabitants are managers with their families.)

Hi Beppi.. Quite encouraging comment you have there. Well I'd like to examine.. why local poly graduates are paid lesser and lesser while FT's are paid in lump!

It's nothing to do with FTs or local graduates. You are paid lowly because, as is very apparent from your posts, you are as thick as the smog over Hong Kong.
Actually I take that back, you're a troll and have managed to get this many replies so you must have one or two brains cells.

Mr super programmer, did you make a cock-up with your tags and write your reply twice? And you write Java code you say, I assume it's not embedded in HTML then

In general, salaries go by supply and demand:
There are less good managers than needed, so salaries go up.
There are many Indian IT people here and more willing to come, so salaries go down.
If (as is already happening) the government reduces the number of Indian FTs, salaries will probably go up (but not for those who have to leave).
If they go up too much, the industry will move to somewhere else with lower labour costs (maybe India).

What's typical?? Everyone is different, different skills, experience etc... there is no such thing as a typical IT worker (or in any other professional industry for that matter)

As much as he is worth for the company. (Actually, a bit less, because the company also needs to make a profit.)

Not only is he a troll, he's posting from MS Corp proxy server in China. He's having you all on and you are swallowing it hook, line & sinker.
