来新呆了20多年,最近回中国定居.据说新加坡早年有个法规:凡5年内未回新
长期居留海外不归,其新加坡国籍会被自动吊销.
事因本地报章旧文曾有报道过:有许多在6~70年代文革期间被父母送去中国读书并滞留未归的新加坡人,在90年代初期曾经要求回返岛国,或至少让他们的孩子能够回新;但是当时是被政府沿用此法规拒绝了.
想请教钟律师和各位法律达人:
这个法规现在还继续生效吗?
如果法规继续有效,日后某人因为年老体弱,身体有病而无法坐飞机按期回新,其新加坡国籍被自动吊销之后,
1.移民厅是否会发给书面通知?
2.如果该人日后身体好转再要回新,是否按无国籍人士对待?
3.如果新加坡国籍被取消,那该人名下的HDB组屋会如何处置?
先谢谢大家费心看帖和回复!

幸颖
it is in the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore.
PART X
CITIZENSHIP
Deprivation of citizenship on exercise of rights of foreign nationals, etc.
135. —(1) The Government may, by order, deprive a citizen of Singapore of his citizenship if the Government is satisfied that —
(c) he is of or over the age of 18 years and has, whether before or after attaining the age of 18 years, been ordinarily resident outside Singapore for a continuous period of 10 years (including any period of residence outside Singapore before 2nd January 1986) and has not at any time —
(i) during that period or thereafter entered Singapore by virtue of a certificate of status or travel document issued by the competent authorities of Singapore; or
(ii) during that period been in the service of the Government or of an international organisation of which Singapore is a member or of such other body or organisation as the President may, by notification in the Gazette, designate.
(2) For the purposes of clause (1) (a), the exercise of a vote in any political election in a place outside Singapore shall be deemed to be the voluntary claim and exercise of a right available under the law of that place.
(3) Where the Government has made an order under this Article depriving a citizen of Singapore of his citizenship, he shall cease to be a citizen with effect from the date of the order.
这个十年的应该才是引用来拒绝当年那些6, 70年代的人的吧。
五年的那个是只针对citizen of Singapore by naturalisation
Deprivation of citizenship
129.
(5) The Government may, by order, deprive of his citizenship any person who is a citizen of Singapore by naturalisation if the Government is satisfied that he has been ordinarily resident in foreign countries for a continuous period of 5 years and during that period has neither —
(a) been at any time in the service of Singapore or of an international organisation of which the Government was a member; nor
(b) registered annually at a consulate of Singapore his intention to retain his citizenship.
