Is that true?

Wondering why is it so difficult to obtain PR myself.

Well the anecdotal evidence is that Malaysian Chinese are more likely to get PR (and SC) than PRC Chinese (or at least get it more quickly); the theory being that they are culturally closer to the Singaporean Chinese than people from PRC.

There is nothing to stop you applying for PR right now, but the consensus of those above is that it would be better to wait. However at the end of the day it's your decision of course.

Let's put it another way.......

A Malaysian Chinese is probably NOT going to marry a Singaporean as a marriage of convenience.

However, there have been WAY TO MANY PRC's who have done just that and after getting PR, abandon the Singaporean Husband. Therefore, ICA is being very protective of Singaporean Men. So they tend to make it much harder for the PRC wives to gain PR.

And here's the bit I was looking for this morning....

You will note, in additional to preferrably three years of marriage, a child is also a prerequisite as well.

2. Couples who have at least one Singaporean child from their marriage will be eligible to apply for the LTVP+. For those without a Singapore Citizen child, ICA will look at other factors such as the duration of marriage, and will in general consider more favourably those who have been married for at least three years.

Especially after a case of PRC lady married a Singaporean male.
She divorce right away she received her PR.
Then she went to courts to ask for alimony - 50% of the husband property.

When she realize her husband didn't own much of the company share.

She went to courts again. Claim she contribute to her father-in-law company and ask for a share - 50% of the company.

When she didn't get what she want.

She went back to China and wrote a book.

Title:
Singapore male are stupid. Easy to cheat.

These happen 20 yrs ago.

I have to agree growing up in Singapore leaves some men awfully naive in many ways and not just with women.

One more question, say after 3 months of marriage, I pregent and give birth to a Singapore child.

Will Singapore allow me to stay in Singapore. Will they approve my LTVP. What is they don't approve. That means I will be separated with my family.

It's always a possibility but if you are Chinese and your local spouse is Chinese, the baby will be Singaporean. The odds are almost 100 percent of you getting at least an LTVP and after two years of marriage probably PR. It's always a gamble but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

As long as you haven't done anything in violation of ICA or MOM rules since being in Singapore you shouldn't have a problem.

Of course, If you "IF" long and hard enough, you can "IF" yourself right out of a marriage.......

I'd argue that your income is a bit low but good luck.

You've already been advised earlier in this thread to wait.
