A Singapore PR, is a citizen of a foreign country who possess the right to reside in Singapore permanently. So what can't an individual who's residing in Singapore be loyal and love his/her own country? Just because living in Singapore, does not mean one needs to be loyal to this country.

Trust me, as a PR, we are not given a lot of privileges the locals get such as education subsidies, ERS, GST subsidy, etc.. But when it comes to shitty commitments like CPF and NS, we are expected to do the same!

People love to say "if you don't like it here, go back to your country", "at least we are better" or something along that line. Well it may be funny to brush off a foreigner by these impolite statements, but are we really addressing to the social problem here?

Xenophobia breeds misunderstanding. Misunderstandings breeds discrimination and discrimination in turn, breeds hatred.

As usual, we see a display of hypocritical patriotism. If you really love your country, please be concerned of politics and fight for democracy, fight for the social welfare of people, fight for positive social changes, instead of only being concerned with your own mundane lives.

The end .
