PTADER - Come Out

I don't see the issue with Article 134 1(a). If you read it in context with the 22 years thing, then it becomes quite clear.
The Constitution gives the government the right to revoke citizenship of dual citizens over the age of 18, but government policy seems to be to apply it only to dual citizens over the age of 22. This means they have discretion and they are applying discretion.

Now the question is if the government has been applying this discretion to exempt certain individuals. It's certainly possible, but you also have to bear in mind that cases of dual citizenship over the age of 22 may not necessarily be exemption cases, because the government can only revoke a dual citizenship if they know about it. How hard is it to hide dual citizenship if you become naturalized in another country after the age of 22?

This means they have discretion and they are applying discretion.

in sg's constitutional context, it's quite a joke really. they craft the language, and the presence or absence of it, to allow those in power to have the flexibility or "discretion" to apply multiple rules and goal posts depending on who you are. for example, immigration and customs officers are given discretionary and enforcement powers beyond their cranal and legal capacity to interpret the law, in which there are many shades of grey. and so in effect, there's no point arguing about constitutionality as the final arbiter is the regime itself. they may let someone hold dual citizenship, and they may revoke sg citizenship on another, just like they may impose ns on one while waiving ns liabilities on another. it is futile challenging their decisions based on constitutionality and letter of the law in an sg court as their judiciary and judges can bend the laws of physics at will. :p

Even WP Low Thia Khiang said so....

"I think we have a competent Government... we need to allow time for the Government to work, and I hope, eventually, the policies will take effect on the ground, people's lives will be improved and we have a better Singapore."

WP Chauvinists and race bigots, please note and please be patient. Things will improve under the PAP.

nothing wrong to place the white scums on the wrong footing, wrong sense of security. the consistent kicking out white scum after white scum is proof enough that ah low is actually trying to act harmless while bidding his time

if the white scums are as naive or pretend to be as you, then good for the true pink singaporeans
