people will naturally try to do what they think is best for themselves and their children. In 1997, the fear in HK as to how life will be under communist china was a real one.

If tmr, our 60% mandated govt decided for us that we should rejoin Malaysia, i think many of us here will also try to emigrate to australia, UK, US or somewhere else.

The fault lies in our gatekeepers throwing our gates wide open to all and sundry without due regard to their loyalty.

I kind of agree that this guy's just looking out for himself. No doubt he spent about 6 years studying here but 6 years doesn't make him Singaporean especially if his whole family is in HK since the day he was born. Being Singaporeans is just a safety net for them, as they say 'membership has its privileges'.

Our government's interpretation of citizenship makes citizens second class, why would he want to stay. Is this just the start of many more cases? I hope the courts will take his case and rule for him.

Then he got TL on the cheng hu for not letting him to sign up citizenship.
force him to do NS.

Next GE, he might vote a NO to cheng hu.
True also, but just 1 pax (or maybe among some pple he knows) voting a NO isn't enough. Grant him e renounce and more pple TL, more pple vote NO

Win also get pay
lost also get pay.

If lost, it is expected. So.. $$ come easy
If win, the lawyer will be "HERO". Alot of PR, new citizen 2nd generation will come to him.
Free advertising.

It is a Win-Win situation for him.
