I remember when there were a shipload of 100+ tamil refugees who were intercepted at sea & they were eventually allowed to stay in Canada.
At that time there was criticism because these people were allowed to cut the queue. There were other people who applied through proper channels & yet these people were fast track in.
I think Canadians are a good bunch & willing to help others but they also believe in fair play. Which is why Canadians are viewed more positively than the americans, Aussie, Brits,...
Cannot compare to the Spore situation because FTs are given better treatment than Spore citizens. In this case the PRC rejected Spore citizen AND went back to China
Not forgetting that Canada has alot more spare room. Only 35 million people in a country the size of the US.
If she was in Canada being offered Canadian PR I doubt if she would reject & return to China
Not to stir up any more anger between Singaporeans about the Ms. China, I believe she is given the right to return back to her nation, when she ONLY have a PRship.
However, for her to come back to SINGAPORE as this case, is truly not a problem, because she is STILL a foreigner, and when she has a Chinese Passport, plus PRship, she could come into Singapore easily.
However, if the case is that she has a PINK IC, and she is a Singaporean already, then go back to CHINA to serve national service, then this is a serious case of Treason.
But the above condition is not verified or confirmed. So, I'll view it as she has a BLUE PR IC, and is given PRship. By the way, it's temporary, need to be renewed every 5 years, and if you are not in SINGAPORE for at least 2 or 3 years to work, you'll have problems renewing it.
Another word of advise to dear Singaporeans...
When the times are tough, do not look out to the Government to help yourself, look out to YOURSELF to help YOURSELF, and if Singapore is too difficult for you to live, don't think it's easy in the rest of the world...
Remember that it's only in Singapore that you'll not be looked down...
But when you are overseas... there are a chance of being looked down by the westerners, ANG MO KAO, or sometimes the Africans Americans...
just stating some experience.
