I was granted citizenship last year to Singapore, and had to renounce my birth-country citizenship in order to take up Singapore citizenship. All well and good.
I am now considering "quietly" renewing my birth-country citizenship. My birth-country has no issue with dual passports/citizenship, and I'd like the flexibility of having my original passport/citizenship. I appreciate that this is frowned upon by the Singapore authorities, but it seems to me there would be no way for them to ever know about my second citizenship. I would not use this passport for travel, and simply have it in my "back-pocket" for future mobility.
Any thoughts or recommendations?

Yup; it's wrong by principle and illegal in Singapore. On the other hand, some people claim to get away with murder.
EDIT: As expected, OP tried to remove his post just as x and I were mentioning it.
