  Besides the Singapore shares once every few years, are there any privileges that Singaporeans have over PRs?
  Will it be better off being a PR than to be a citizen of this country?

  Yes, lift upgrading pay $500, not $10500.

  Oh really, I din know about that.
  So I guess for the $10000 more, it is better to buy a new flat, a flat that already has lfit on every floor, a flat that already had lift upgrading OR just move out.

  It's true. Singaporeans DO have some advantages over PRs in many aspects.
  
  But it's always better to apply as a 'world class' 'MP members'.... When people told you there's no free lunch in this world..? They're LYING... Because they themselves are the ONES TUCKING in to those 'FREE PEANUTS'!!

  the shares are not even a privilege but a sign of worst things to come.
  
  they always take back much more than they give away.
