Is Singapore that bad!?

Why? Why don't you want to let your son take up citizenship and serve National Service in Singapore? But you yourself has become a citizen. Why?

Is Singapore's future, say in 20 years time ( by 2030 ) that bad!? That scary?

Do not be afraid, our government really takes good care of us citizens. Fang Xin.

i still want my son to be Chinese national [Link]

He asked, “Can the children of citizens keep their PR?”

“Hello, I’m a new citizen. My son’s PR is up for renewal. Is there a problem? Will the Govt force my son to turn into citizen?”

He added, “I wish my son will keep his Chinese citizenship.” [Link]

2nd generation of Permanent Residence need to serve NS ! Gowd forbid!

Don't worry, there is always a way out ... 

There is always a way out for us Foreign Talents :-)

 “Relax, Govt won’t force your son to convert to citizen. But of course, he will need to do NS when he reaches NS age. At that time, there will be an invitation letter. There is no coercion*, however. Just don’t sign and submit.

Renounce your son's PR, no worries, can still come back to Singapore on social visit pass. Can even find job here as a foreign talent.

* As for born and bred Singaporean whom do not heed the call for NS, they will face jail time and will not be eligible to be hired in all government jobs. And also will not be eligible for further education scholarships.

So don't worry, come! Welcome to Singapore, there is always a way out for you guys :-)
