Just noticed there is a lot of talk about foreigners in
Singapore. i get it... and suddenly to be remotely associated
as a PRC is a BAAD thing.
Some Singaporean friends i speak to say as "long as you did NS,"
you're cool.
But I wanted to ask how cool you are with foreigners? To what
extent does National Service give a foreigner the right to be a
citizen?
There are the full foreigners that have green cards... they are
not eligible for what seems to be increasing benefits for
Singaporeans (like cheap schools.. ha ha or voting... lol)
But they are foreigners none-the-less.
Then There are the PRs.. that are here to "make money' try and
purchase HDB property and live here as a resident while keeping
onto their own citizenship. Some of them enjoy cheaper
University and school costs here.
Then there are the PRs that have completed national service and
are citizens.
How cool are you with the 3rd type? Are they accepted amongst
you? Or are they still foreign and should pack up?
you want cool, get a good airconditioner. Most are foreign made
brands, real cool.
Whether you are local, FT, FW or PR or FCitizenship, ah neh, ah
PRC, vietcongs, thai, taiwanese, mynamars, ang mo..etc etc...as
long as you are working, paid your bills and taxes on
time as required by this country govt, you are said to have
contributed to the society and economy of Singapore, and is
therefore cool.
