Read about the PR policy changes, just some feedback:

I think the new changes definitely made PRs feel more insecure as we would start doubting what changes are there in future. We PRs do pay taxes and do NS too, we are somehow like semi-citizen, that explains the term Permanent Residents not Provisional Residents. Our reason to not convert into citizens is mainly because of the restrictions of dual citizenship. Although you could say Sg had raised us mainly, but it is still rather hard to just expatriate, after all it's our birth place, like a mother-child thing. We might still have relatives and properties there, that we felt too troublesome or not fit to be brought over Sg for its well known spaces available. Therefore I think by widening the gap for PR and citizen I would have to think twice whether to anchor my boat here or else where if somehow there's a better place. No doubt its benefits are pretty attractive, but because of these changes, possibility of PR being treated as same level as foreigners would remain ambiguous.

so tired... tomorrow might not turn up for wushu, got 2 tuitions after that...
