Brothers of St Gabriels and NE / Citizenship issues

Brother Emmanuel: Most of the brothers who have come here, except for 2 or 3 have died in the mmission land. This is the dream of most of us. We don't dream of going back. So, when the occasion came for Singapore to become independent, all of us have applied for Singapore citizenship. I am one of the few to do it with Brother Vincent, and the others followed. The others who came, they had to wait ten years before they were allowed to become citizens of Singapore. In so doing, they had lost all the advantages and pensions that we had in the past. So, if I go to Canada for more than 3 months, I need a visa to enter into my own country.
