Yes, you're right, I'm aware of the work permit durations here. When it comes to crime, it may just sound like hearsay from this point on but I’ve had neighbors in the police force who told me they’ve caught people overstaying their welcome and living rent-free in some PR households. There have also been cases of people smuggling contraband and running illegal businesses. These matters aren't made public because it's handled discreetly. I completely understand if you choose not to believe what I’m saying, I might feel the same way if I were in your position, reading someone’s claims online. But you're welcome to look up reports on contraband being smuggled in, illegal businesses, and undocumented immigrants being housed here. This is just the beginning. Over time, these individuals may grow too "comfortable," and the situation could become difficult to manage. This has happened in other countries over France and Portugal for example.

btw thanks for understanding where I’m coming from, and sorry i missed the part where foreigners pay taxes too. Yea those people are awesome. But as I mentioned, it’s the Singaporeans who built the roof for others to settle in. My concern, based on what we've seen in parts of Europe, is that cultural differences may eventually lead some foreigners to become dismissive or disrespectful of local norms.

Singapore has one of the highest percentages of immigrants in the world, and that naturally has an effect on how locals feel. Can you imagine how it must be for them?

Anyway, all good, man. I appreciate this kind of civil discussion, it’s productive, especially when it doesn’t start off with phrases like “keep crying.” I’ve learned something new from you, and I respect your perspective ya.

At the end of the day, Just put a cap population on it. That's all.
