By Tessa WongHome Affairs Minister Teo Chee Hean said in Parliament on Tuesday that an average of 1,200 Singaporeans had renounced their citizenship every year from 2007 to 2011.
Of this average yearly figure, 300 are naturalised citizens.
Overall, however, the renunciation rates for both naturalised citizens and Singapore-born citizens were low during this period - about 0.1 per cent or less.
Mr Teo said that the reasons for emigration vary. 'Some emigrants leave for family reasons - because of marriage, or to reunite with family members overseas, while others do so for a different living environment,' he said.
Oh ya, once again try to ignore part of the reasons are themselves the PAP pariahs driving Singaporeans to give up on citizenship. -
We need more talents.

charlize, your wish will be granted. They will continue to bring in more "talents" and this means more money out of our pockets to pay these "talents".

who let the dogs in?

One fact that is neglected is that only 1200 Singaporeans get to leave, yet each year foreigners continue to flood in this 700+ square km red dot by the thousands !!
So can one imagine just what kind of cramped up lives are Singaporeans leading now ?
-
too many too little too much.

Just look at the staff at Texas Fried Chicken, all are pinoys. More and more new foreign faces at work in our little island.
I have people keep telling me they the ones who are given the mandate have put a stop to bringing in more foreigners. People are so easily conned that is no wonder we are stuck with the inferior quality government.

im about to give up my sporean citizenship.it has no uses whatsoever.i may live with people who are alien to me but i find what they have in spore is now even more alien to me now.their defence army and economic defence in spore is counterproductive to me both in spore and out of spore by their lack of good spore results.
after seeing how they "helped" me or helped themselves it made me wonder what on earth is a sporean citizenship about??had it been a war and i was commandeered to go off into battle,i certainly would not have a grave even with them leading the battle and me flung into it like im worth nothing at all to them in poeacetime let alone in a real wartime even.
good luck n good bye to those in spore.may the force be with u too.

Well, "SINGAPORE LOVES A QUITTER".
Eloquently put for one of their TV ad slogans right now.
Theres no worth to the Singaporean citizenship whatsoever lah.
Its a curse as a matter of fact to be Singaporean.
The prosperity of the government and foreigners comes at the expense of true blue citizens.
Tonnes of sporeans want to leave, just that they are unable to.

Not only Texas Fried Chicken loh, the entire service sector now totally overunned by Cheenas and Pinoys.Why this happen is because govt wants to reap profits, replace singaporean voters; employers desperate to maximise their revenue and cut operating costs, hire foreigners extensively.
I dun feel the govt is really doing anything because the budget or other measures the govt introduced recently has no direct impact on the lives of the majority of Singaporeans. Its another booze and wayang show.
There is still no privileges that the govt is putting out to create value for holding the Singaporean citizenship.

You are down to earth to say the above. Seriously, I share the same sentiment.
Govt here are too busy to upkeep their highest salary than to encourage citizens to stay on. I believe they rather have foreigners working in Singapore to replace us so that they have hope in them to vote for them.

i dare say singaporeans de efficiency goes down a lot
even was pointed out by my foreign friends
when i see the pinoys and banglas, i know why...
-
There are always people who lack efficiency. Sometimes working attitudes of some are not right, too.
I believe is the low pay that locals are not interested in these jobs. Imagine if someone has to pay for housing loan, bills and cope with other living expenses to get pay of like 5.00 dollar an hour is insufficient.

Now living expenses so high, inflation is all out rampant. Govt is constantly taxing everything. The salary paid for a job 10 plus years ago is still at the same rate.Not Singaporeans are choosy or they are lazy ok.. If Singaporeans are lazy, excuse me, the country is progressive the way it is because of its hardworking people. Not due to some old baffoon whose surname is Lee.
The fact is Singaporeans have so much commitment over foreigners.
Foreigners dont have to pay CPF, housing loan, raise kids, take care of parents, etc here. They only need to care for themselves !! Whatever screw up, worst things worst they just go back to the holes they crawled out of.
But what about local true blue Sporeans? Do we have anywhere else to go?
The reason why only 1200 renounce Sg citizenship yearly is because these people have the capability to do so. Other countries protect their citizenship dearly and you must have direct relatives there or you are really elite, if not you are not allowed to stay, period.
Where else but Singapore prostitutes itself so openly to foreigners?
Honestly if we chase out all foreigners out of sg, doom will not befall on sg as the govt warns. We were doing ok without them before too !
If Spore lags behind, then lag lah ! So what ? Singapore is already a modern city, lag also wont lag so far back without FTs. But at least the people can live contented.
Besides, its not as if we have so many FTs now, we are having better quality of life loh.

I suppose they keep increasing cost of living partially is to sustain their highest pay. They are expensive and useless, white elephants to keep. As long as they are the ruling party, I believe we will not see any change for the better. Money is most of the time in their agenda.
It is understandable why people are moving to other countries. A note to those who are going overseas for study: Find a job after graduation and settle there. Singapore is no longer the same, it is becoming increasingly expensive as years pass by. Look at it, since the useless lee hsien loong took over as PM, life is not getting better. This sicko has no calibre to lead a country and her people.

On the contrary its very difficult to secure jobs overseas one lah, unless you really are in the type of profession that country has high demand for.
Most foreign graduates upon completing their degrees have a short grace period to return home. Their employment laws make it very undesirable for employers to employ foreigners for long term. Which explains why most Sporeans are stuck here.
Not like Spore, any tom, dick and harry can come in and they are considered talents.
Well, you are wrong put the sole blame on LHL. Yes, you shouldnt. You know why?
Because not just him, but the entire govt is useless here. Can anybody tell me what major contribution did President Nathan done for Spore throughout his so many terms of presidency? I can think of a damn thing !! Other than attending functions, dinners, graduations, giving out prizes & scholarships, nodding his head when the sword is pointed at his throat, he is totally redundant in his post !!!
The entire parliament of MPs too are inessential to the country as well ! They are wholly made up of Jim Carrey worshippers, Yes Men.
They say yes to every policy put out by the ministers. They claim to be a group of elites yet there is not a single one who has the gut to rebuke against detrimental policies and stand their ground. There is no one that goes all out to defend the Singaporean people.
The govt are merely a bunch of dogs who knows when to wag their tails, because they get a bone just for wagging.

He is in charge of policies the president is not. MPs, ministers all under him. Get your facts right before making such statement.
Once again policies making and welfare and so forth are not in charge by the President . Now I give back your words to you you are wrong, very wrong! You are wrong to blame the President.

President mainly got ceremonial powers only lah.

For fark's sake loh, winsomeea, your last post was so full of crap.
So are you implying that the President having no political power, can dont bother about doing anything for the people? Then why the hell do you need a President for? A perpetual clown for show ?
I reckon a lot of other people like me are not inclined to believe even given the power to make policies, that any of the them would have done much shlt to benefit the people anyway.
Yet, Most importantly, Do you even need to be a policy maker to help serve the people?
Hell !! Even if they donate 1 million bucks per year is already helping the people !!
But are any of the Presidents that charitable ? They are just a bunch of self serving baffoons IMHO.
I didnt even vote for the last presidential election cos theres no point voting someone who cant and wont do anything to serve the people of the state.

Singapore is governed by insensitive, careless TYRANTS that allow the influx of China citizens to boost the declining birth rates we currently are facing. No government is 100% clean!

At least those who renounced are honest about their feelings. Their loyalty has changed due to changing circumstances or emotional bond. But there is a group with DUAL citizenship illegally! What is the government doing about this? Is it fair to let them get away with dual citizenship when officially it is illegal? Are we closing one eye or two eyes? What has been done to cross check with UK and AUSTRALIA and America thos ewho have left for years and not back? Are we certain that our NEW S'pore citizens have indeed renounced their original citizenships? HAVE they submitted their renounciation of citizenhsip letters as proof to our Immigration Authorities within 3 months after getting their Spore citizenship??? Can WE be certain that these new citizens are of ONE heart and spirit with our people?Any real checks made on these new citizens? Or just another wayang?

Life is surreal.

1200 is a lot of people.
Probably equivalent to the total number of people in a packed mrt train leaving for good every year.
