16 pages of shit on this thread, and I guess no one has said it yet, so I will. Your friend Jocelyn is not better than any one of the millions of FT trash polluting singapore that we so hate. She has played the system, taken advantage of Australia's immigration policy to avail herself of a PR, but yet have no intention to be a permanent resident of Australia. She is still in singapore, hence not contributing to the australian economy, not paying taxes there. But she expects to run back to australia to take advantage of cheap hospital birth for her child, and milk the aussie system for what ever benefits she can get at that time. At the same time, if her son is born there, he will be an aussie citizen, so no need for NS, and we can be assured that her son will do primary, secondary school in singapore, and skip NS. She sounds just like one of these FT PR bitches that come to singapore from another country and milk the system, and than leave for good when it suits them.
There is such a thing as loyalty and making up your mind. If your friend Jocelyn thinks that australia is the place to be, and she wants to be a citizen there (as evidenced by all the effort and money she spend to get her PR), than she should move there permanently with her family and adopt her new country with open arms. If she thinks singapore is the place to be, than throw away her PR. She would not want her husband to be married to 2 wives, but she is in effect married to 2 countries. In other words, in australia, she would be considered the same as what we consider FTs here, namely, an asshole.
