when prs are locals or de facto citizens

with prs being regarded or treated like singaporeans, and even treasured more, would the govt consider allowing singaporeans to opt to become prs? as the difference in the two categories is mainly an issue of how much obligations and liabilities one has towards the country, there will be singaporeans who would readily opt to become prs than citizens. why be a citizen when all the privileges are given to the prs and still be burdened and be subjected to all the laws and restrictions of a citizen? sigh....

Agree wholeheartedly. The govt should allow Singaporeans who have or are able to obtain another country's citizenship to downgrade their current Singapore citizenship to PR.

hi anonymous,

did not hear from you for a while. you are welcome at the forum as well.

i thought once you become a citizen of another country you are allowed to be a pr in singapore. there are many abc prs here.
