overheard from a conversation between me and 2 American and Japanese colleagues that my company is bringing in more ppl via the Landed PR Scheme. So out of curiosity, googled it and found it to be almost like a express road to PR. The foriegners apply for the PR even before they reach Singapore and as long as they find a job within 12 months, their PR status can be granted in double time! Another policy from the MIW!
