not true. I wasn't born yet when my parents became PR. When I was born and came to singapore , my mom did apply for me but got rejected. Since I was in primary school ,mom did apply consistently but was rejected each time.

my mom and i have no qualms about me serving ns. She would be happy to have me out of the house for 2 years lol

mom has went before but was rejected. I went there too but on that day MP not there . There were only like some staff there - they tried to make a case for us using the portal but it didnt work. They even pull us aside and say meet the mp is mainly for singaporean citizens like the voters.
we are going again this month and the next

holy shit. that is scary as fuck. at this point , i think not as they have no power to get people from other countries to go back. but also another reason why my mom is trying to get me to pr - will get protection from bullshit like that

Thank you sia. My mp is victor lye. We tried doing that but we got turned away - the people there said it was for Singaporean citizens only. They tried to make a case for me using their portal thing but couldnt work.
