In my experience, they don't accept PR applications easily. Lived and worked there for 3 years (2011-2014), PhD in Physics, salary ($5k/month), productive research,.... PR application rejected. I know a famous MIT Professor who also applied and was rejected for PR.
Thanks for giving some real life feedback, During our research there wasn’t an exact number of years for getting PR which makes me think they only take people on few exceptions. Definitely a grey area. I hope you get your PR eventually!
I also lived there for 4 years but they denied my pr application. My salary was 12k usd per mo. and I'm American. Why try to live in a country that doesn't want you?
@Benny_Shill The money would be a good reason. What’s 12k a month in the US after taxes vs Singapore? I get what your saying though it would be nice to “be one of them”
@@YonderPreneur With all due respect how much research did you actually do? Singapore quite literally has a race-based system for citizenship. That's why so many thousands of people from Europe and the West struggle to get PR, but can live there for literal decades.
Just a clarification that Singapore was never ‘not wanted’ by Malaysia, it has always been an important trade port because of its location next to the malacca strait. You may be confusing this with Singapore's expulsion from the federation of Malaysia, this was due to political differences, not because Singapore was deemed not important.
Singaporean citizen here. Fun fact: It is illegal to buy/sell gum in Singapore, but you are free to chew gum if you can get your hands on it. This means Singaporeans will buy gum when traveling abroad so they can chew it when they return to Singapore.
The research for this video is a joke 😂. It's just stating the *theoretical* paths to citizenship. In reality getting Singapore PR/citizenship is extremely hard and government has complet discretion, and there is total opacity about how exactly they select the successful applicants. Income alone is widely known that is not enough, neither is the prestige of the job etc.
I don't promote regular weed use but it's stupid that most jurisdictions around the world still are not moving to make it legal. It's legal cousin (Alcohol) is worse.Authorities should focus their time and resources on things more serious than some one smoking a Doobie everynow and then.

Can’t really say that in a youtube video now can I. It’s 100% up to the authorities of Singapore

Good clarification

That’s hilarious, the stores selling gum on the Malaysian border are making a lot of money.
If you become a Singaporean citizen, you can vote in two countries (Singapore and the United Kingdom).
I actually had to google that it is true I didn’t know that. Commonwealth countries can register to vote in UK elections. Interesting
Making chewing gum illegal is next level clean.
you have to make sacrifices for cleanliness

pretty sure i stated exactly what your saying in the video but ok 👍🏻

I am unsure how that is relevant to the video, but thanks for commenting. If you want to have legal weed use go to Canada. Legal there
its the US that made it illegal in the first place
Nah im going smoke my weed. In america
Your free to do that 🦅 🍃 💨
Singapore is definitely hustle culture and no drugs what’s so ever
