Indeed, I've reached a stage where, it does not matter if you leave or stay as long as you are happy. A lot of Singaporean that migrated still feels the same towards the country. People migrate for many reasons. Aussieland used to have a liberal open door policy like Singapore. Anyone that has a cert from TAFE, ITE-poly equivalent, could migrate under the Howard government. This changed when Labor came into power and stopped the massive migrations that is happening then. Your brother needing to take IELTs is part of the results. Unless Singapore can change their government and send a strong signal that we do not appreciate this sort of policy nothing much will change. Anything else about "we are sorry", "its and honest mistake", are just lip service. But is a change of government really possible? Even for the next GE? I highly doubt so. Perhaps leaving the country is the best option for both your health and happiness.

Look at the high standard the aussies expect and demand of their migrant labour, PRs and new citizens. that's how it shd be. Foreigners should level up the country and not pull it down with 3rd social behaviours.

Look at the way the pap throws permanent residency to lowly qualified, socially awkward foreigners!!

tell me whether it bodes well for Singapore's future with such an ill-conceived pap policy?
