...i pity you for the greed of just 100 dollars.........what's the use of a 100 dollars........perhaps you could self recognise yourself as an important member of the community that will help fight off invaders in times of peril........this way.....isn't that better than to always think about money? or perhaps if you really want that 100 ....why not write your appeal to the mindef board.....i am sure they like to hear what you have to say........

Come on, he already mentioned he paid more than just 100 bucks.Originally posted by gohkatkat:...i pity you for the greed of just 100 dollars.........what's the use of a 100 dollars........perhaps you could self recognise yourself as an important member of the community that will help fight off invaders in times of peril........this way.....isn't that better than to always think about money? or perhaps if you really want that 100 ....why not write your appeal to the mindef board.....i am sure they like to hear what you have to say........
He's feeling sad because he was not recognised... not that the 100 bucks matters..

you should just have retained your birth citizenship silently, if you get what I mean..Originally posted by Ponders:Yes. Because Singapore cannot grant me exception of dual-citizenship.
Not that I am asking for special..
but ICA/SIR have in the past granted case by case basis of dual-citizenship.
Tried my luck but failed. -
There is nothing call fair in this world.....

I guess ponder is from indonesia or brunei.

my guess is indonesian chinese...

Wah I am sorry to hear that. I know how ya feel man. Army was a complete waste of time to me and it showed from f**k up the SAF is as an organization.
Anyway look at it this way la, 2 years of shit from the army, i am sure this is nothing new to you right? -
Come to think of it , If i'm in your position , i'll get the f*ck out of Singapore , what so f*cking good about Singapore ?
$100 and want me to vote for you ? Thanks but no thanks !
Forgo the $100 and can f*ck the garmen like no tomorrow .
If you have talent like what they say , what the f*ck you doing at Sinapore ? Sinapore so small pool , how many fishes ?
USA so big pool , so many big fishes , got qualification , stay there and earned their US$ , no good meh ?
Australia also not bad , UK lagi good , got football week-in week-out .
Singapore ? Sink-the-port more like it . Sink liao simi lan jiao also bo liao ! ! -
Ponder more like a indonesian , cos during Suahrto time , many fleed their homeland for Singapore after the racist abuse to the Chinese ethics , divert their money from indonesian bank to Singapore bank .
They usually make their base in Singapore , and do their business in Aussie or USA . And get the education done , maybe in UK .
This ponder i guess ..... $100 is nothing to them , just that he felt there's a bit of in-equality occurs .
Just some blind guess , cos i have many Indonesian customers , and they're f*cking rich , they stay mainly Dist 1 area . -

There are Indonesian Chinese beggars on indonesian streets. Indonesian Kampungs (those no electricty or tap water kind) have chinese in them.Originally posted by Xcert:have U met indonesian chinese who are not rich?

Rich Indonesian chinese you see in Singapore are the minority few, they are those that can afford to go Singapore.
Most of them are rich thru scrupulous methods of business in Indonesia, had they run their business in SIngapore, they can't survive red tape.
But sad part is thier 2nd generation or current generation led spoilt lives and are incapable of taking over the business. Ruining business and conducting business in less honourable fashion (killing off competition whom their parents had fostered cartel like ties in the past). -
K, I want to make one thing clear.
I will not confirm my nationality online because I never know if information I provide herein will create a backlash for me in future.
I hope fellow forumnites understand.
A foreigner serving NS in Singapore. Home countries don't like to hear such things.
One thing I can confirm with you guys. I grew up in many parts of the world.
I have a few PRs and honestly Singapore's PR offers one of the better deals except the NS part and it doesn't expire.
Other countries' PR don't allow you to leave the country beyond a certain time frame in a year.Originally posted by Poolman:Ponder more like a indonesian , cos during Suahrto time , many fleed their homeland for Singapore after the racist abuse to the Chinese ethics , divert their money from indonesian bank to Singapore bank .

I went online to check for my Progress Package eligibility when my friends told me that I should received a letter.
I was expecting $100.
Alas, the PP website said i am not eligible. I was dumbfounded.
I went to mindef website and foudn out the reason,
The 40th Anniversary NS Bonus will be given only to NSFs and NSmen who are [b]Singapore citizens. This is in line with the Progress Package and past surplus sharing exercises.
Want PR to serve because they say PR enjoyed economic benefits of Singapore and should repay to the nation.
Excuse me, I am an economic migrant, I brought money INTO Singapore and even got a letter personally signed by the then Ministry of Trade. Who enjoyed economically?
I served their NS and now they tell me this. No $100 for me.
[/b] still need to do NS -
Mr Ponders, can you cool down next time before you post such baseless threads? Anti-PAP forum people over here (I shan't name who they are) will take every opportunity to shoot PAP regardless of whether they know the whole story or not. This case is obviously your fault because you rejected singapore citizenship! You were given a choice to enjoy Singapore citizen benefits but you rejected it! Dont say tht u served NS before and u deserve all the NS benefits. We are talking about citizen benefits here. The government cant go around giving money to non-citizens who served NS and not want to be singapore citizens right? If the governent does that, then the Anti-PAP forum people over here will start saying that the government is wasting unnecessary money on non-citizens and neglecting its own citizens. Am I right, Anti-PAP people (you know who you are)?Originally posted by Ponders:Anyway.. i cool down abit liao...

Write letter to newspapers to complain.
Post here no use.

I wonder who is this Ponders guy?? Doing NS does not give you the right to be a citizen and also not give you the right to get any benefits out of Singapore!! Doing NS only give you a choice of whether you are capable or fit to be citizen. This system is to deter people like you looking to get benefits and also stopping you to abuse the system here.Originally posted by Ponders:Some unrecognisble foreigner who invested in Singapore, asked to do NS and not get recognised still.
As to what you mention that you bring $ to singapore, the other side could be true that you are taking money out from singapore too!!!
Also you being a PR not a citizen will not allow you to the full entitlement a singaporean will get, and that is simple because you have no loyalty to the country!!! You are just a parasite where there is good you suck on it.
So dont come and stir shit as I strongly believe that only those contribute to the country with a sense of loyalty in this case a citizen should entitle to the rightful benefits.
