Why? The reason I can think of :-

Singapore was part of Malaysia in the past... and Malaysian Chinese shared the same cultures and simalarities. Therefore , they are the prefered one for PR.

Probably not from what we've been hearing concerning current demographics

The government is not concerned about the demographic percentages of the minorities as much as they are concerned with maintaining the percentage of the majority. The minorities used to maintain about 23% but during the 12 years since the run up to the millennium the massive influx of Indians caused their percentage to increase from ~7% to somewhere between 9~10%. The Malays & "others" has remained more or less constant (although both have sub replacement level Fertility Rates but are higher than the Chinese which have the lowest of all the races here. Indian fertility rates are somewhere in between.

Totally agree with SMS. Singapore government is more interested to maintain the demographic of the majority. That's explained why Malaysian Chinese has the upper hands of PR being approved.

There's a good slew of Malaysia Chinese getting PRs approved.....but are there other ethnicities (chinese or not) that have their PRs approved recently?

Wondering if the ICA is singling out all Malaysia Chinese applications and get them approved/processed first.

No, I don't think they are approving Malaysian Chinese any faster. It just seems like it as they are rejecting most everybody else. As the latest news mentioned, the rate of PR's this past year has dropped dramatically and it's the first time it's dropped since, I believe, 2003 (can't find the article & no time to look at the moment). However, there has been an increase in citizens but the majority are Chinese and the bulk predominately M'sian Chinese.

For a split second I wish I was malaysian or indonesian chinese.... but just a split second

Thank you for telling us your profile as it helps us (and PR-hopefuls) get a rough idea of who they're granting permanent residences lately.

Hi, further details that would be useful for us:

Did you apply under family or PTS scheme? If PTS, what is your income level? (Or if you prefer, just tell us if the EP was a P1, or P2)

I think it's been said before that family scheme is easier than PTS scheme currently. So if it's a PTS based PR, the income level will help numerous readers gauge the current flavor.

Thanks!
