He was an SPR for 4-5 years, which lapsed when he lost his job in early 2008 and had moved overseas to work (he said it expired in 2008 so he couldn't renew). He's back in Singapore since mid 2010 and got his PR back again after a few months. I think he's now been a PR for 8 months or so. He wants to apply for Singapore citizenship, as he's moved back with wife, and he has always been quite keen on settling down here.
His qn to the gurus on the forum: what's the outlook for citizenship approval? can he apply on the basis of his 4-5 years of PR, CPF and tax contribution from 2003 to 2008, and his 8-month contribution since he got PR back again? Or would he have to wait till the 2 year minimum is up? He mentioned he wants to try now if possible, as he's concerned about immigration tightening up even further.
I've told him about the wealth of information provided by the gurus on the boards, so I'm hoping that SMS or MS can chime in with their comments.
