Assistance needed in finding a family member in S'pore

Mackintyre02 SG

Hi, I am an ex Singaporean Citizen, currently living in England and have been for over 10 years, I intent not to return to Singapore as that would make me liable to be conscripted into the Singaporean Army for 2 years (so I have heard and read) it is a risk I am not willing to take.
It seems to me, Singaporean Citizenship is a liability and I am sure a lot of Singaporeans would agree with me.

Not being able to return to Singapore is a problem, as I would like to find my dad, I have not seen him for over 10 years and It has been one of my life's goal to get in contact with him.
Can any good-hearted Singaporean advice me on finding him?
Fortunately I have his NRIC number, full name, D.O.B.

I heard that it is possible to contact him through a police post in Singapore by providing a police officer my contact details which they will then contact him then give him my contact details.

If anyone can provide any reliable information on this particular topic I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you
Bloody Valentines Day and I have no valentine grrr

Come back Singapore first then we will talk.

LazerLordz SG

Do you have relatives here that you could contact?

Mackintyre02 SG

You taking the piss? I don't think so mate.

mhcampboy SG

I already served my ns. Laughing

Aiyah... I dun think there is any way to find a family member here through the government... or so i think.

I mean...if its tat easy... why do we still see ppl posting on papers and advertisements looking for lost ppl....

Unless of cos... you know ur old residence.. then can trace... or start from sumwhere la...

but u cannot just give police other ppls ID and expect them to provide u with info.

the power of the internet...

if u not living 20 yrs ago,

1) u will not be able to find yr relative.
2) go to jail when u step here

Now

3) internet make u avoid 2) and give more chances of 1)

hire a Private Investigator to be ur rep here, they can check it out for u.

LazerLordz SG

that's right.

I wouldn't advise you to contact the Police or any statutory board, given your status.

NRIC, FULL NAME , D.O.B. not enough

do you have his NRIC issue date?

Address?

your last address?

Hogzilla SG

Ya.

Got address easier to find. Even he had moved, some old neighbours might know his present address.

And also, I think if got NRIC no., the PI can check with SIR, or ICA.

zaxis SG

NRIC not enough

must have date of issue of that NRIC.

also did you try

www.yellowpages.com.sg

search by the full name which you still can remember.

I am not entirely sure if I have his NRIC date of issue number, I shall check when I get back.

I doubt i have it though, however I have his old address. I have acquired his NRIC no. and the rest of his personal details off his Islamic membership card...he converted to Islam and was issued a membership card and mum kept it and recently gave it to me.

Mackintyre02 SG

I just tried the site you suggested, it's hopeful. I typed in my dad's full name and 6 potential candidates popped up, I'm going to buy a calling card and call those numbers today and get them to verify their NRIC NO. hopefully one will match that of my father's.

Thanks mate!
