Difference between 2 parties does not neccesarily transparently state that one party is wrong, and the other party is right. One should definitely not declare that someone else is wrong just because there is a different opinion.
I just discovered this on Wikipedia: As Hong Kong is not an independent nation, there are no provisions for Hong Kong citizenship. The right of abode in Hong Kong is almost identical in nature to citizenship but confers no legal status in mainland China.
That means I am not a Hong Kong citizen! I have never been so happy to discover this! Apparently I do have the right of abode in Hong Kong. That goes to say that I can probably still apply for Singapore citizenship in the years to come, and still be able to live in Hong Kong.
Anyway, back to topic. Just because Singapore's permanent residency policies require that PRs renew every X years, it doesn't mean that it is WRONG to call them PERMANENT residents, even though the name suggests that there should be a somewhat PERMANENT-ness to it. It is just a different system from Hong Kong and who says that means it is WRONG?
If Hong Kong is part of China, why doesn't being a PR of Hong Kong make me an automatic citizen of China? There are just DIFFERENT rules, that's all. It is not WRONG.
Please learn that there are opinions other than your own in this world.
