The man with his arm in a sling stood out during the discussion on housing affordability.

He defended the permanent residents (PRs), who were often cited as the reason for the increase in prices of HDB resale flats.

During a discussion at the Our Singapore Conversation on Housing session on Wednesday at Singapore Management University, Mr Sean McMenamin, a PR-turned-Singapore citizen, said they already face “differentiation” in many areas like education and health care.

The 29-year-old allied educator recounted his experience of buying a three-room resale flat with his father, who is currently a PR. They did not qualify for any grants and had to pay for their flat with cash and CPF.

PRs are also subjected to other restrictions, he said.

Read the full report in The New Paper on Friday (May 31).

Of course, there must be a differentiation between PR and Citizen but is the differentiation substantial?
Paying their flat with cash and CPF and Citizens use the weed growing by the road to pay? This FT machiam cannot make it in SG. FT.......:o

The problem is the differentiation is minimal. Still less than the cost of a local serving ns and bearing the responsibility of citizenship.

The cost should be higher for prs. Like paying tax instead of cpf.

He has Turkish blood, I think. Maybe father is angmo and mother is Turkish. He defends PR because his father is PR. He is born here. Wonder if his father has secretly got him another citizenship.

No one pointed a gun on his head when he applied to become a Sinkie PR..

No one aimed their cock onto his backside when he decided to become a full pledged Sinkie..

If he's not happy, he and his dad can fuck off from here..
