China PRs and India Indian PRs have been long using Singapore as a stepping stone to the West.
Even those who became Singapore citizens did so for one reason--to use it to move on to Australia, USA, NZ or Canada.
I recently met 5 foreigners who became citizens of Singapore living happily in one of the above countires.
In betwen guffaws they told me that the only reason they became Singapore citizens was the Singapore passport-- The Singapore passport provided them the ease and short waiting period to migrate to these Western countries.
If they had applied from India or China it would have taken them years and years and many times it would have been impossible.
The funny thing was this. Two of them still had HDB flats that were rented out and providing them a good source of income.
Everyone then again let of squeals of laughter --this time at the stupid Sinkies.
I tell you it all sounded very comical.
Believe me this is all true.
