He's a brown skin in a white coating... IME they tend to be a bit thin skinned and sensitive.nutnut wrote:He may be new to the board, but, with credentials like what he has advised, then I am sure he's a big enough boy to take it! many degrees and a >$200K salary in investment banking doesn't come to someone with thin skin, I am sure he can handle it.guyg wrote:I think you are swerving away from the issue I have raised that a newbie is quickly and aggressively dismissed as a wannabe PR abuser after rather innocently looking for help on this forum with no mal intent.

As quotas for PR are being reduced annually since 2007 and moreso since 2011 this means that they are less spaces available for successful applicants. Now, the gahmen have to figure out who the more likely candidate for PR. Asimilability is one that people don't normally think about, preferring to think the be all and end all is purely qualifications and experience. Not so. This is why we see some who have a lot less education but ideal asimilability being given PR over some other who come highly qualified. e.g., Malaysian Chinese are a good example. I'm not saying you would be unsuccessful, but just think you are not likely to be successful in the short term. The following excerpts just hint as the complex problems that the gahment are facing due to the unhappiness of the local population who are voicing their displeasure at the polling booths. And like it as not, regardless of where your passport if from, it's you ethnicity and the traditional demographics that are going to play merry hell with your otherwise impeccable qualifications.aid_ wrote:When judging me racially well stereotyping me as an Indian again I don’t understand I am not from India, was born and bought up in the UK and that’s home for me, though I understand that ICA does look at your race I am sure they also see that this chap is not after just a passport and Singapore is not a stepping stone for him to then apply for an EU or US passport. One thing that baffles me is how i would ruin anybodys chance to get a PR, if you are capable enough and maybe lucky you will get it and if I am not they will refuse me simple as that.
There has been requests from Singaporeans for the Government to be more transparent about the criteria. Ms Fu said that the government takes a holistic approach to the criteria, including a person’s education qualifications, assimilability, employment status and family background.

The PAP is very uncomfortable with the reduced percentages of the Chinese population and the increased Indian population. Add to the, the Chinese have the lowest TFR and you can see why they are also trying to use immigration to return the racial demographics to the traditional numbers.Despite the increasing share of PRs among the resident population, which itself rose from 8.8 percent of the total population in 2000 to 14.3 percent in 2010, the ethnic composition of Singapore's residents has remained relatively stable since 1990. Albeit, the percentage of Chinese fell below 75 percent of the total resident population for the first time ever in 2010, while the share of Indians rose from 7.9 percent to 9.2 percent. These particular ethnic composition shifts are largely due to widening discrepancies between citizens' and PRs' ethnic profiles (Table 2).

Sorry if I've rubbed your feathers the wrong way, but I'd be more amiss if I didn't tell it like it is.Permanent residence is an intermediate status through which foreigners take up citizenship. It is meant for those who have a long-term stake in Singapore and intend to sink roots here. We have tightened up significantly on the number of PRs granted each year. We have come down from a high of 79,000 new PRs in 2008 to about 30,000 each year currently. We plan to maintain the current pace. This will keep a stable PR population of between 0.5 and 0.6 million, and ensure a pool of suitable potential citizens.

The part of the world where you come from has even stricter immigration protocols. And that you are trying to apply PR in Singapore to secure your career and hence financial stability shows you are having it tough trying to secure a good paying job in the UK. I bet you are having to face up to racism to get good paying jobs in the UK. I know, because I was there for 15 years.adi_ wrote: ....
