Is there any sense in any views coming from someone with a
''neutral point of view''
- which basically is [b]''NO
view'' ?
It is a fact that every country has poor and lower income group,
and different governments will handle it differently, but none has
out-performed the Singapore Government in passing the buck to
personal charity, and their dead insistence on Singapore being a
''NON-WELFARE
State''.
Even Mainland China with a population that is 280 times more than Singapore's 4.5
million - will have its Communist Government being more attentive
and concerned with the poor, as they can and will throw the
Communist Party out of power.
With the Singapore Government existing as long as the China
Government, it has been able to implement its will due to the
Singapore's physical size; allowing the Singapore Government to
adopt Communist Strategies in coralling Singaporean's political
freedom, while using Capitalist Techniques to efficiently suck away
Private Wealth to fund their Communist style of Government.
How long will the expats stay in Singapore when they will realise
that there is NO INDIVIDUAL Political Freedom, and that they will
be working for the benefit of the State only ?
How many expats will take up permanent Citizenship, and how many
will subsequently give up the Singapore Citizenship and return to
their original land of domicile with their Original Citizenship
still intact ?
Singaporeans are losing political power with each passing year that
the Ruling Party continue in Government. Legislations have been
passed that will forfeit Singaporean's Citizenship if they are away
from Singapore for more then ten years without making any return
trip.
While this legislation has been targetted at some of the exiled
political figures, Singaporeans' birthright has also been
threatened in the process.
The expats remains more privilege than local Singaporeans with
their dual citizenship that gives them more political mobility than
Singaporeans.

I think many foreign professional especially those with son will
not likely to take up PR cause of NS n personally many of them
still retain their
original citizenship.
