1,000 S'poreans give up citizenship each year
AN AVERAGE of about 1,000 Singapore gave up their citizenship each
year in the last three years, said Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan
Seng on Monday.
The reasons they renounced their Singapore citizenship ranged from
marriage to foreigners to yearning for a different environment, he
said in his written reply to a question from from Non-Constituency
MP Sylvia Lim, who wanted to know how many Singaporeans had
emigrated in the last three years.
Most of them took up new citizenship in countries in
Southeast-Asia, the United States of America and Australia.
Mr Wong said Singaporeans who emigrate generally do not declare
this to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) when they
leave.
The only available data which gives an indication of the number
of emigrants from Singapore is the number of Singaporeans who have
given up their citizenship and left Singapore.
