Why isn't that Singapore retired Gurkhas not given an opportunity to get Residency in Singapore despite living in Singapore for more than 20 years.

I believe this is discrimination and irresponsible from the British. I hope you would put in an effort to help the retired Singapore gurkhas, they deserve equal opportunity as those in British gurkhas. I hope you could make some changes in an increase in retirement fund for retired Singapore gurkhas and also encouraging the Singapore government to give retired Gurkhas an opportunity for Permanent residency.

They can't even decide where to live or get together with someone they like who are Singaporeans. it's such an unfair and restrictive law put up against them.

We went to local schools, we sang the national anthem of Singapore, recited the pledge, every morning with pride. The older we get, the more we fear of a day we actually have to leave a place full of pleasant memories from childhood to youth.
These two countries we call home, and home away from home, share differences of all kinds. Lets not forget the food. We miss the food we grew to love, just like our fellow Singaporean friends, sadly we cannot find the same food anywhere else. We are proud to call Singapore our home away from home. The difficult pass comes after retirement. Just like being kicked out of your own house, where are we to go? Together with the “house”, our opportunities also disappear. Most families who were once closely knit together, are forced apart as parents send their dear children to another foreign country in hopes of opportunities. As overseas education comes with a hefty price-tag. They are left with no choice but to give up their live savings, their blood, sweat and tears. To be honest, thats just the tip of the iceberg. Therefore, we want our voices to be heard, for some form of change to be made to the current rigid rule in place for the Gurkhas and their families, for progress. A small step can truly goes a long way.

The language we speak, the food, the lifestyle, we will never feel like we are at home ever. Firstly, there is a vast difference in the language people in nepal and the nepalese born in singapore speaks. So it feels as though we are learning a new language altogether. Considering the fact that we have been learning English and chinese our whole life.
Secondly, our friends we grew up with, friends we hang out with are all from singapore. Being sent back and told to adjust feels as though we have been stripped off everything we had in life. The freedom, friends, lifestyle and etc.
We nepalese are extremely grateful for what singapore has provided us with until now. However, our fathers have protected singapore and was/is always willing to sacrifice for singapore at any given day. I feel like giving us pr is like a small thank you token to us nepalese community for helping singapore and defending the country as a whole.
I am sure majority of Gurkha sons will be more than happy to go for National service considering the fact that, we have watched our fathers train relentlessly day in and day out. Growing up in a military family, with our grandads being soldiers as well, it is almost natural for us to be more inclined to joining the singapore force ourselves.

Being taught the history of Singapore and knowing how to sing the national anthem of Singapore instead of Nepal. When hearing the pledge automatically putting hands on your chest and chanting along side. These are what we take and upon returning back to Nepal. We are stuck in between where we are back into our own country but We don’t feel like We fully are a local there but even in Singapore We are not even really a full local there. So it all comes down to who are we really and what are we. We feel lost and stuck in between. The sense of belong really comes down to more into Singapore. This is as, Pardon me for saying this but we automatically swear in Chinese and we speak singlish when we are nervous. If these don’t then what does. When august nears we always think much about Singapore for we might not be in Singapore but we always do celebrate national day. I can go on and on about all the reason why we love Singapore. I hope you consider this petition and help us.

We had to returned back to Nepal when my dad retired. I was 22 years old and had to restart my life all over again. It was and still tough to live and conduct my business with the ethos I learned in Singapore and engrained into my life.

Many children of the Gurkhas migrate to other countries as they’re find it difficult to deal with the red tape, corruption etc in Nepal.
