That one's easy to see. In his case, PhD is great and he's the right flavour but just not here long enough.

A good friend of mine had her PR application approved.
Malaysian Chinese
Single female
4 years of overall working experience (last 1 1/4 year in O&G)
Income in Singapore $5k plus
Working as analyst in O&G firm
Bachelor's degree from Malaysia in related field
Arrived in Dec 2011, applied in Apr 2012, approved in Oct 2012.
Now here is another example.
Malaysian Chinese
Single male
Less than 4 months of working experience at time of application.
Income in Singapore $3k plus
Working as technical manager
PhD from Malaysia in relayed field
Arrived in July 2010, applied in Nov 2010, rejected in Jan 2011
Not sure what the rejection letter said but I'm not surprised if he was advised to reapply in stipulated time.
So guys, enjoy.
Oh no, gramps. I was trying to draw the idea that salary (and probably work experience) is more important than qualifications (after race/nationality). I have edited my previous post to emphasise the time and duration.sundaymorningstaple wrote:That one's easy to see. In his case, PhD is great and he's the right flavour but just not here long enough.

The skew in demographics of higher ratio of Indians will get fixed very soon. I personally know several Indian PR families in my office who are leaving/left Singapore for good in the last 1 yr due to the increasing cost of living here. Many of them are those who never bought a HDB or are single PR holders. Coupled with the fact that they dont give aways PRs to Indians anymore, it wont take too long to see fewer and fewer Indian PRs in Singapore. But still it would take about 5-10 years for the demographics to get back to neutral.vishalgupta2 wrote:I have this feeling that ICA may just pull in too many Malaysian Chinese (like they got in too many Indians) and soon there may be a clamp down on them too.Mi Amigo wrote:Congratulations to Naoki2012.

I think everybody knows that you are not making this up.

1. They don't need the Malaysian Chinese and Malaysian Indians to vote them for the next GE to remain in power, and that;
2. They are, and will always be, immigrants in their eyes, never citizens. And that;
3. They ought to go back to China and India if they don't like/approve what they (extremist politicians) are doing.
I'm not making this up. Go to Youtube and google those keywords in Malay.
)[OOT] To me, the most ironic part is that most of them in both groups (Malaysians and Indonesians) tried to "sever" this connection. But within the past several years, the Chinese groups are accepted bit by bit in Indonesia, even in politics. It's a good thingCallput wrote:The ironic part is Malays too came from Indonesia and so they are also not Bhumiputra in the true sense.
