SINGAPORE: Getting Permanent Residents (PRs) to take up Singapore citizenship stems from a wider attempt at integration, said observers reacting to Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong's remark.
Mr Goh had said during a National Day Rally feedback session that some of the 500,000 PRs will be asked to take up citizenship. If they don't, their PR status will not be renewed.
The authorities have yet to disclose details of the latest government initiative at assimilation. But observers said any new policy will likely target those who have been here for three to five years, and who have enjoyed the benefits of their PR status.
