Afraid of revealing unwittingly to Singaporeans of some unworthy
foreigners who are being given PR and citizenship by the PAP
regime, the Straits Times now omits mentioning the PR status of
foreigners commmitting crimes in Singapore altogether.
In the past, the paper will usually mention the status of
foreigners convicted of committing crimes which brought to light
many cleaners, construction workers, bus drivers, masseurs, nursery
teachers, chambermaids and even freelance prostitutes being given
Singapore PR and citizenship, unheard of anywhere else in the
world.
Now, only the nationality of the criminal is published.
For example, in April 2010, the Straits Times reported a
Singapore PR from Malaysia Tan Eng Heong being sentenced to six
months jail for road rage. (read

Upon appeal, he has his sentence reduced to only one month.
However, the subsequent report did not mention that he is a
Singapore PR (read

It is not known if Mr Tan’s PR will now be revoked by the PAP
regime.
The number of foreigners, PRs and new citizens who are convicted
of criminal offences each year in Singapore remains a mystery to
this very day.
Due to the PAP’s pro-foreigner and ultra-liberal immigration
policies, foreigners (excluding PRs) now make up 36 percent of
Singapore’s population, up from 14 percent in 1990. Of the
remaining 64 percent who are citizens, an increasing number are
born overseas.
If the Straits Times continue to censor the PR/citizenship
status of foreigners committing crimes in Singapore, we can safely
assume that they are either Singapore PR or new citizen.
