...dont they realise they will be treated as bottom of the pit.
So , is it wise to become citizen when u can just hold a PR, a
higher status than citizen?
This very fact alone, is an indication of the failure of our
emigration policy. Do u agree on this?
I respect your right to express your personal view, but your
statement must be made to stand corrected.
Citizens are never treated as bottom of the pit. White or black,
rich or poor, we are all equal, accorded full rights that PRs can
only drool over, such as HDB subsidies, travel ease, employment,
education, etc.
Whether the citizen has ancestry that stretches back to Sir
Stamford Raffles or he just got his citizenship today, he is an
equal in the eyes of our State (our society). There is no caste or
class system in Spore. So called 'Elites' are nothing more than
labels a few mischevious ones, even within the ruling elites used,
and are not recognised universally in Spore.
Most critically of all, the citizen reserves the right to vote
and comment upon the governance of our country, and the direction
it should take through voicing out in the relevant and respected
channels.
PRs are nothing more than mercenaries paid
to perform a job, based on their qualifications and
capabilities, and as guests within our fair country, given the
opportunities to be housed along with our cheap HDB but paying
rates above what a 1st timer purchaser citizen pays or loan.
While they may enjoy equal fare in public transportation, so do
the same with tourists, and so do too us when we are in their
country, as tourists or PR.
I am aware that i will not be able to convince you with such
facts, but i do hope that you may consider other citizens who
had hard workingly contributed to this nation, to build it to what
it is today, would feel with your totally irresponsible
comments.
