The govt needs to dosclose how many new citizens are holding on to Singapore passport but no longer working or paying taxes here. It is a well known fact that both Indians from India and PRC passport holders have to clear a slew of visa requirements to visit most countries using the PRC or Indian passports.. They spend 2 years here, get the passport and then move overseas.

Here is the catch. Their male kids are not citizens or PR but on dependent's pass. They have bought HDB flats and are renting it out while they are overseas, Singapore is not their home and they trvael back to China and India for their annual vacation.

Both countries also allow their ex-citizens to reapply citizenship when they return home permanently.
