Absolutely agree. It's best that Singaporeans don't come to Canada. It's too tough to change and adjust to life in any city or small town. You'll have to sacrifice your standard of living and play second fiddle to Ang Mohs. Your children will not be able to enjoy the benefits of a Singaporean...

Just go ICA to renew. It's up to you how you want to declare Yes/No on the question about whether you hold citizenship of another country. When you collect the passport, they will ask you that question.

I'll put the same 3 things that Singaporeans should really be concerned with: 1. The acceptance and psyche that the world is moving at an extremely rapid pace, and the old mentality of expecting long-term employment and career opportunities are no longer viable. Instead, a serious opening up...

In case anyone emigrating to SF, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal are wondering, Chinese buyers and local buyers are fueling in spike in property prices. In Canada, Chinese buyers and local buyers caused the Vancouver property market to overheat, then after foreign buyers tax was imposed, they...

Re: Let's collate the best here All these commenters remind me of a Singaporean I know here in Canada. When asked about who this person supports in the previous election and which party, the reply was 'PAP'. When I asked why, the reply was "Because they brought Singapore from 3rd world to 1st...

What happened with Independent.Sg was what happened with SingaporeDaily. All channels eventually fall under the court of the establishment if the operators are within the country. Despite the much vaunted connectiveness of our physical technology infrastructure to the outside world, Singapore...

Hindsight can be a useful tool in comparing the past with the present. Back in the '50-60s, there seemed to be a certain confidence or sense of direction even though the times were turbulent. Now as we near 2020 (can you believe this? the year 2020 is coming soon), do we feel a similar...

Probably a good checkpoint for those considering immigration to Canada: 1. US Immigration to Canada is possibly rising based on rising news coverage; asylum seekers are already increasing across the US-Canada border e.g. at Quebec, and may go up with Spring arriving soon. 2. Canadian...

Here's the other thing that people should consider over the next 5-15 years: Given the disastrous immigration policy which opened the floodgates, how is the government going to handle dual citizenships cases for these new citizens? I'm not referring to Singaporeans whose parents were born in...

Thanks Nayr69sg, for writing out a detailed explanation. I'm sorry I don't have the patience to have done that. I find that the large problem with Singaporeans is that they cannot read, cannot think through or are just plain stubborn because of their own experience. I get that people have...

Thank you for the article. It's rather helpful for the shallow reader, or gullible fool, isn't it? Where is the link to the statutes? Oh wait, let me help place the text directly here. I can see that Article 134 states: Deprivation of citizenship on acquisition of foreign citizenship (1) The...

The problem with many Singaporeans is their inability to accommodate different perspectives, beliefs and ways of thinking. Most of the knowledge and experience gained by those who left Singapore is not shared here in the forum anyway. For those with true desire to leave, whatever has been posted...

Nobody cares WHAT you are here in Canada. It's HOW you are that matters. If you disrespect people or discrimate them based on their sexuality, gender, age, race and such, you WILL get called out right away. This is what I love about society here and the cultural progressiveness. The way you...

No excuses for the beer can thrower. You can see admonishments from John Tory and commentors on CP24. The fans are heated because of last year's brawl when an Oriole player punched Bautista in the jaw, and the rivalry between the two teams.

Many have said that Singaporeans are the real issue and cause for why the country is in the state it is. I'm on the other end of Canada from where nayr69 is, and I'm just tired of being active in this forum or even thinking about Singapore and Singaporeans in general. The majority of...

This is an example of how Singaporeans don't realize that the rot has not only sunk into the core but risen to the surface. When they first put up those notices announcing that certificates were no longer required to be posted in the lifts, I knew that the system had failed. This is simply one...

I have not contemplated renouncing my SG citizenship seriously. Yet. But as each year passes, the layers of factors are leading to that decision point. I don't need to withdraw my CPF yet even though it will take care of a significant portion of my mortgage. I have a career that is more dynamic...

Hats off to you. Must have been full of memories for you. Fire has spread and is now ~800+ sq km - larger than size of Singapore. Hope the rains come soon.

CP24 and most Canadian news channels are covering the state of emergency that was just declared today on it. It is quite bad as residents had to leave their homes and be trucked/bussed to work camps as evacuees. 3000 registered yesterday and 1500 today. The main highway was jammed and vehicles...

Folks have noticed it. But the vast majority of Singaporeans have given their vote to the establishment. So they will reap what they sow. And the minority who understand the consequences just have to suck it up. Only those who want to take the red pill will bother to educate themselves and...
