This was aired yesterday. Drama when the filipino lady cried......

 

my take is no. this would lead to more entrants of bogus marriages and social issues. I say ship them back to where they came from.

 

your views?

how about giving conditional PR?

 

If divorce within certain years, revoke the PR.

 

then is same as current long stay visit pass or dependent pass.....

I think it's the issue about the academic level of the foreign spouse. If highly educated and can get good jobs here, it wouldn't be a problem getting PR. Gahmen might even roll out red carpet to welcome them.

 

I think gahment chao kuan. They know what's going on. Those not highly educated or hardly educated will be a problem for them to handle. Nothing much to talk about. If they wanted to give in the first place they would have done so long. They won't be like now dilly dally talk c--k sing song. If no benefits to coutry or ppl, no PR.

Big difference....

1) LTVP and DP is not allowed to work.

2) No welfare. Hopitalization is full fee and the whole rest....

Gahmen always think from $$$ point of view one lah..... KNN, if the child is singaporean, why not give the mum a stable status? If mum is sick and need to be hospitalized, why can't she be taken care? With that said, I do agree if they divorce, their status should be revoked....

but some are genuine spouses who are committed here, and have children who are Singaporean citizens

 

imo, it's much better than those whole families PRs... then when their children reach 16, they send them away to avoid NS

Whether PR or not is secondary, they should settle down start a family with kids then can consider.

 

Would you start a family if your residency status was in question?

Would you have kids here, if you didn't know whether or not you were going to be able to stay?

My friend is stuck in such a limbo. He met his Vietnamese wife while working here (she was then on one of the various foreign work permits). Fell in love, got married.. and found out he cannot apply BTO from HDB cos wife is foreigner holding LTVP.

 

Ding dong ding dong to MP, ICA, HDB many many times over the past 2-3yrs.. still the same..
