Such test doesnt prove anything. What is important is whether the person is really willing to stay here and contribute to society. A stupid written test will not prove anything and its a freaking waste of time, human resource and more importantly, taxpayer's money. And why do PR's have to go through English proficiency test, our national languages are English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. A few of my uncles/aunts cant speak English. Does that make them any less Singaporean?
BTW I was in Australia when they started the Aussie test and most of my Aussie Colleagues thought it was a stupid idea. Mainly because things there were asking in the tests were stupid questions
Instead of implementing stupid and useless stuff like that and chasing potential nation builders away, we should be punishing pple who quit the nation. I say we confiscate the CPF of anyone who fled the country and distribute it to the poor
Wah you can join PAP oredy.
Singapore no need lah! As long as you know how to say PAP is vely good, not corrupt and efficient, ok oredi & can pass for citizenship.
punished those who leave the country? take their CPF? i dun think it is wise to do it...
Why'd I want to join the PAP. I have nothing against PAP non do I support them.
My stand is simple, I don't mind FTs coming in as long as they are generally here to stay put and contribute to the nation. If they are only here for the money, then we whack them where it hurts the most, the money!!!! Taking some stupid test doesn't prove anything. Its a freaking waste of time and a freaking waste of taxpayers money.
Difference there is language (english) is more "homogenous" unlike here. Can you imagine singlish test?:p

I never said it was wise. I'm just in it coz its going to benefit me if some bozo skip the country and the money goes back into national coffers to help the poor.
Think about it, what is most of your complains against FTs. They're here to steal your jobs, their here only for the money, they're using SG only as a springboard to another country.
Assuming its for the last 2 reasons, well the confiscating of CPF is seriously going to put a stop to some of their plans
I also want to see the 14% that the employers are contributing to CPF for FTs be taking away. Instead of giving the money to FTs, employers should still be giving that 15% but the returns the government gets will be used to offer tax rebates to the citizen. In return the FTs don't need to contribute to CPF. Win - Win situation for all of us. FTs get more take home money, company still pays the same amount so it doesnt affect them. The extra money goes back to us by making us pay less taxes.
hahahahahaaa i am 100% singaporean born and raised but i think i would fail such a test
For question 1 i think its hill street char kway teow?
Question 2 i confirm dunno
question 3 i also not sure. all are expensive. last time used to be the PUB building behind somerset mrt. Now not sure liao
Wonder what kind of other questions we singaporeans could come up with to test whether a fella is really able to be singaporean or not
Not all FTs here are economic mercenaries. And our attititude towards them also affects how they would plan their future. If nobody seems to be able to accept them after so many years in Singapore, do you think they would stay here after making money? Similarly a touch of kindness can affect to sway the decision of the FT to dedicate his/her life to Spore.
I'm working with a Spore company and we are finding it hard to get good local staff to join the company. The day the advertisement was out, many of the FTs sent their resume while our fellow Sporeans trickle in 4-5 days later. And after being called up did not even attend interviews. We may call them FTrash but the attitude of Sporeans must similarly change. I believe that the affluence created by our forefathers has eroded the zeal amongst the young.
Like i said, I don't mind FTs coming here as long as they contribute to the nation and according to my plans, the FTs are still being paid the same only less the 14% contribution from the Employer. If they want to get that extra money, then convert to citizen. Then again, the take home will be reduced by 20% coz of CPF. Its a matter of choice for them.
As for us citizen, we get the extra tax returns and excess goes to the poor. Win-Win situation. Obviously those who leaves the country should be classified as FTs, I don't see any wrong in revoking their CPF previlieges and distributing it to the rest of us.

Singapore's national language is Malay!!
A nation is built by its people and not by immigrants who use Singapore as a transit point.
Before punishing the "quitters", it would be better for the PAP govt to know why Singaporeans emigrate by thousands every year to other countries. Ideals like nation building, loyalty, patriotism, etc seem to be missing in the thinking of PAP's minority elite who are themselves showing symptoms of "quitters" in the not too distant future.
