They may not have enough annual leave their jobs to make the visit back to Singapore. Do not want to be onerous but it is evident that the Singapore passport has become a convenient document with no allegiance required.

There must be some sort of clawback clause to prevent abuse.

I see your point.
But as soon as an individual obtains his or her SG citizenship, and passport, he or she can decide where to live.
Therefore, it may not be practical ti impose and enforce any such requirement to reside in SG for a minimum number of days per year, after acquiring SG citizenship.
