That's just half the story.

Many of these people observed that FTs are treated better than locals so they gave up their Pink IC and come back as FT to enjoy the more privileged treatment.

They put their children in local schools here and then their sons can go straight to Uni without serving NS.

They got the arrangements wrong. It's work here and retire overseas.

I came across this blog many years ago. Not sure if he is married now but he gave up his Pink IC to advance his career and returned as an FT many years ago...

Btw, ts did not substantiate his stories with IG accounts or other evidences. I can easily make up 5 other stories with 5 imaginery neighbours and distant relatives for a CSB contest here right?

Yes, many who lived in Oz 5-10 years come back SG. my own circle of ppl i know, got 2 also.

they say wages there depressing and lack of progression so come back SG work better.

these are high flyers who need to chiong one. Oz is not the place for them.
