I HAVE lived in Singapore for four years, working in a restructured hospital. I got my permanent residence (PR) only after living here for eight months. I am bonded to the hospital for six years because it sponsored my education to be a radiographer in Australia, and for this I am grateful to my employer.

ON WEDNESDAY, Ms Sharon Lee asked that we 'Allow Singaporeans over 40 to use Medisave for health screening'.
