well i dont know about u but this clearly speaks to me about love and attachment of the uncle to his hdb flat.

i mean after going thru a few messes myself i clearly know that love is irrational and it can make pple do heroic actions in order to keep things they treasure including citizenship issues.

anyway only malaysians will want to keep hdb flats. sg pple ? nah most are in condos. and so the logic goes if u are staying in hdb flats and still not singaporeans then why not get the citzenship then everything will match instead of showing the wrong indicator all the time.

It’s higher price for a Malaysian baby/child. Old “uncle”, hence S$20,000.

i’m still trying to justify the benefits of changing citizenship too. the only good advantage i can think of is the passport. but it’s not as important to us as compared to (let’s say) indonesians. haha. well i don’t know….

go find a singaporean gf la!
