Becoming Singaporean | The Straits Times

[@SuzushimaChin]

The Ou guy said something so true. Once u did NS youve earn yourself the badge of citizenship and more importantly respect and recognition that you are one of us - a son of Singapore.

[@sg.k7293]

Singaporean is a nationality, not a race. A nationality is based on your citizenship, while race is based on blood. Therefor anyone who becomes a citizen of Singapore, is Singaporean. You don't have to be apart of the three main races, that being Chinese, Malay and Indian, to be Singaporean. Regardless of race, the moment you are a citizen of Singapore, you are as Singaporean as the locals. Periodt

I wish I become a PR someday there, I have already studied there, it's like my 2nd home. But I have been hearing a lot and researching too. If you are from the Chinese background, it helps a lot.

[@xander2890]

You forgot there is the 4th major race ah? The 'others'.

[@niconiconii5266]

​@@manutdboy3326 No, PR requirement is baiscally fully based on meritocracy. Singapore system is meritocracy so basically they try to get higher-skilled and higher educated people to becoming a citizen or PR. In fact, it is one of the hardest place in the world to get a citizenship.

It's ridiculous for someone who has already served NS and wanted to be a Singaporean to still be waiting for his citizenship... They should've given it to him immediately the moment he ORD!

[@yakeen8429]

That Mark guy has a perfect 200% sg accent to me!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ymhktravel]

The reason the Israeli guy feels he did not face any discrimination is because he's white or looks white and Singaporeans have a white inferiority complex but a superiority complex to even people of their own skin but from a different country that's not so developed. I'm Singaporean so I know how some Singaporeans think.

[@umarmashoor]

@@Ccb88888 where did u get this statistic?

[@λάδα]

We need to sing praise of sg more and more to attract more immigrants. Well done Straits Times

[@Ccb88888]

Don't understand why the Israeli guy cannot be recognised as a Singaporean. Singapore's very first Chief Minister was a Jew. In any case, even if the Israeli guy has given up his Israeli citizenship, he (and his descendants) can always get it back. All members of the Jewish diaspora have a right to Israeli citizenship, no matter how many centuries they have been living outside Israel.

[@λάδα]

This programming is good. Sg need more immigrants and we must create more jobs for PR and new citizens among others

[@λάδα]

If there is war or dispute between China and Sg i am sure the new citizen will side sg. Likewise, the new citizen from india will likely side sg over india.

[@Surya-jz6te]

Definitely

[@sucram1617]

Did the Israeli serve NS?

[@Ccb88888]

He probably served Israeli NS, which both men and women have to serve. Israeli NS is way more hardcore than Singapore NS.
