Anyway, SERS is quite a major project, not that easy. Cause need to find nearby land for the replacement flat, paying compensation plus all the admin work etc. That's why Ah Wong offered the option of VERS also. I'm sure the implementation details of that will come when many of the 1970s flats are due. Even if they don't offer brand new flats, one way to go is to offer substantial grants to buy (new-ish) resale flats with many years of lease left, with appropriate compensation. With the way they are building I'm sure there will be many such flats available on the market when the time comes. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If PR and Singaporean is the same, then why need to use difference name?! But even gahment treat both the same and yet i hear some PRs complain that they are treated differently. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This VERS thing is offered by Ah Wong, don't know who will take over this project when the time comes? Cause by then Ah Wong maybe not around liao.

In Govt's view, if one applies and get PR, it's a demonstration of commitment towards this country, with the final step being full citizen. Of course, not every PR will see it this way, and some will use it for selfish means. But to our Govt, these are minority (true or not I dunno), and I guess they pretty much close one eye since PR status is easier to revoke than citizenship.

I know of many PR that would like to enjoy their citizenship back home. I thought there were talks that PR needs to covert to citizen within certain number of years?

mersaylee Hypersonic March 15, 2025 Share March 15, 2025 This pr cat in our demographic makeup is essential to our country. I have relatives, friends, coworkers in that cat...no price for guessing right which country contribute to the majority of that figure...our economy is ever evolving...for both competitiveness or survival...in the eyes of our garment...there should be no discrimination or differentiation...treat all as equal...they are important as strong support to our economic engines...insufficient locally borned are still considered pillars...in recent times, i see the efforts to address pioneer and merdeka gens...lots of support were and are still in place to take good care of them...regardless which box was ticked... While we kpkb on some policies...gratitude must also be given when it's due... As young senior...we have the privilege of enjoying the fruits our forefathers had earned with their hard labour in helping established what we have today...and as generation that have seen what were necessary to be successful...with good leaders in the political and ministerial scenes...we have to step up to voice our concerns on the underperformer or policy...not as vent of frustration but for the betterment of our future generations into the unknown... We love Singapore as we have loved it in the past...garment better listen carefully to the young seniors even more...we know...therefore we can be swayed... Ahemmm...not suay hor...it's lottery day...🙏😂 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there's like a minimum residency period (like you need to be physically here for X amount of time). Those high flyer who travel here and there often for work, quite hard to get.

Get involved in RC activities will help a lot. But generally for professionals with fixed paycheck, cpf and tax contributions, it should be a shoo-in. Those self-employed or start-up boss all a bit more iffy. Maybe some origin countries are preferred too, we don't know for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
