    That was in 2005. That year was targetted for children's books.
    The second First-Time Writers & Illustrators Publishing Initiative added to children's books, Comics and Graphic Novels.
    http://www.mda.gov.sg/wms.www/actualTransferrer.aspx?c=2.2.5.&sid=763&eid=-1&fid=-1
    The deadline was 16 March 2007.

    So what's next?

    Why not? It's open to Singaporean citizens and PRs.

    You can produce in the form of a combined children's books+comics a historical fiction of the use of ancient chinese mechanical artillery and siege weapons.

    Because I fail on both counts. Neither citizen nor PR of SG.

    Hmm, I always thought you had a Singaporean PR.
    Since you and your Baobei work and live here, that would widen your residential options, especially if your dreamhome is one with a garden.

    Nope. Don't think I'll take up PR although baobei is already a PR.

    Besides, one only needs to write in for permission to obtain landed property. From what I hear, for working professionals, it's not hard.

    yup, actually only needed one PR, it is good enough... but soon, the PR status will be facing some changes... ultimately, the trend would be moving people off being PR and becoming citizen... perhaps for working professionals, it might not mean much, but as far as I know, hospital fees and others government fees will increase to benefit the citizen and give the PR a slight push to get their citizenship.

    Hmmm, for some reason, among Malaysians residing and working in Singapore, there are more ladies than men taking up PR ...

    Many Malaysian guys I know put off or chose not to get the PR ... for some reason ...
    Got this schoolmate who was in Singapore since secondary school, married a Singaporean and got a couple of children before taking up the PR.

    usually family obligations like the need to return to take care of older folk, property etc.

    probably they love to move around and grab any chances to go somewhere else for a better prospect?

    Why do they have to limit the nationality?

    YES!

    Why would taking up a PR interfere with that?

    When being a non-Malaysian citizen denies me the pleasure of land inheritance in Malaysia.

    well... there's a thought eh?

  21. Snowy Beagle12 July 2007 at 18:31

    Huh? Being a PR does not mean giving up one's citizenship ...
    I was a Singapore PR for a few years and retained my original citizenship.
    I only gave up my original citizenship when I decided to take up Singapore citizenship.

    Is there Malaysian law that demand you to give up Malaysian citizenship if you become S'pore PR?

  22. kit meng leong12 July 2007 at 18:33

    ah.. my apologies. I mis-read your post. Yes, you are right. PR wouldn't interfere. Only citizenship would.

    So why don't I take up PRship? Well... partly because SG keeps pushing me to.

    Like a girlfriend nagging you to get marry her? :P

    more like girl's parents asking me when I'm going to marry their daughter since we've been dating for so many years already...
