Congrats, Ghib. It’s well deserved. It is very difficult to get Singapore PR on the first try after living here for just 3 years - easier to strike 4D 😂😅. I’m happy for you and your wife! At least now you can live here long term with no worries about visa etc. As a Singaporean, I’ve really enjoyed your videos and I must admit, some of them which showed Singapore in such a good light probably helped in your application, especially those that covered the work of public institutions. Welcome officially to the Singapore community!

You truly deserve it by promoting SG not just to our own locals but to the world - not for show or ulterior motive as you truly immersed yourself into our culture and hung out with our local people (like the uncle). I work in banking and there are tonnes of foreigners trying to apply for PR just because they want to enjoy the benefits here so screw them!!!!

Since your PR has been approved, I don't see why there still is a need for you to consider the acceptance of the offer. If that is the case, then in the first place, you shouldn't have considered applying for it. If you reject this offer, then in the future, if you apply again, your chance of getting the PR will probably be very very slim.

Technically, you aren't considered a Singaporean till you apply for full citizenship instead of being a PR. That's because you can't hold 2 countries' passports at the same time. Maybe for now, you can only say 'Jit buah Sing Ka Poh lang lai liao.' 😅

@@nsevv it’s not about any particular ethical group , it’s about what you have in your sleeves our gov wants , example you are a tech person , AI specialist especially, banking industries, etc or a multi billionaire whom not only invested here but literally your entire wealth used Singapore as your base . See carefully it’s billionaire I’m talking about NOT millionaires or multi millionaire as we lack no such people as we have plenty here . That’s why you see FB , Alibaba or some massive Fund Managing top people migrated here . Or if you form a young , highly educated family worth children, it also seen as a welcome addition because we need “quality” immigrant and we lacks men here to serve the military. But base on my experience and people that I know, unless your have the above otherwise nationality from China and Vietnam are literally impossible to obtain their citizenship or PR .

But my wife who also stayed overseas with me, is a citizen & my 3 daughters (stayed in school dorm in SG) who are studying there, are also citizens. A few months back I tried to check my CPF account, it still exists, still there. I haven't got the time to go to ICA to check on my status because nowadays I only visit for short trips.
