68,143 PR applications rejected last year
-
SINGAPORE: Last year, 68,143 Permanent Residence (PR) applications were rejected, up from 58,923 in 2009.
In 2008, 22,472 PR applications were rejected.
The figures were contained in a written reply by Deputy Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister Teo Chee Hean to MP for Aljunied GRC Pritam Singh who had asked how many applications for PR have been rejected and the specific criteria for approval of such applications.
Mr Teo said each PR application is evaluated holistically on a set of criteria - which includes factors such as an individual's economic contributions, qualifications, age and family profile - to assess applicants' ability to contribute and integrate well into society.
He added that it was not appropriate to reveal specific criteria as this could encourage individuals to attempt to circumvent or abuse the system.
In another question, Mr Singh asked how many criminals have been hanged in Singapore and the breakdown in terms of foreigners, PRs and Singaporeans from 2004 to 2010.
Mr Teo said there were 26 Singaporeans and 12 foreigners who were executed. No PRs were executed during that period.

For heaven sake, these people already stay in Singapore and work in Singapore. So what is the difference, in making them PR or not?
Just convert all of them into Singaporeans and stop pretending that they dont exist.

yes u r right, they always give u half a story n not how many applied n rejected -
y no say how many approved?

The question that should be asked is
How many applications were received?
How many approved/rejected ?
They tell you how many rejected only. That is telling you only part of the picture, not the whole picture.
This is the way, man, on how to give an answer that looks good. I must learn from this.

About 20,000 PRs are accepted each year!
But... strangely in Singapore, there are 5.1 million people. 3.2 millions are Singaporeans. 1.9 millions are foreigners (37%). Out of 10 persons on the MRT train, 4 are foreigners.
So the governement is actually playing with numbers, saying that we only accept a small amount of foreigners to be Singaporeans but in fact there are 100 times more people on the streets. The government just want to tap the FTs but does not want to give them citizenships, so that they will not be responsible for their well-being. Schemimg.

Furthermore, out of the 3.2 million Citizens, 300,000 are New Citizens.
So 4.5 out of 10 on the MRT are foreigners.

Your govt does not give a damn about whiners^^

Hmm.
If PR numbers are dropping, Singaporeans are not procreating enough, then how come population keeps increasing?
It should then logically be deduced that the foreign worker population must be increasing quite significantly for the overall population to increase.
If that is so, then how come companies are complaining there are not enough foreign workers for them to hire?

They dont have citizenship, they are not PR.
They are holding work permit and working pass.

Singapore is not accepting more PR now, since our goverment become aware that SG is overpopulated. Trying to control the poplulation growth in this tiny island, before we all commit suicide at bedok reservoir.
