Karen's SG citizenship has been approved and is now ready for collection from the SG High Comm here. Unfortunately we have forgotten to include a A4 size return courier bag in our application hence they holding her documents ransom while waiting for us to post the courier bag to them. It took around 2 months+ for this application to be approve partly because of her name.
NZ prefers the family name to be at the back hence her birth certificate says "Karen Kai Eng LAU"
SG wants it in a different way, either "Karen LAU Kai Eng" or "LAU Kai Eng Karen"
We choose to go with "Karen LAU Kai Eng" in her application. Karen Lau Kai Eng, when you are much older, you are going to love shopping in SG. ;)

Thatz a nice name ;)
E.G.
I surprise u got her a singapore citizenship instead of a NZ one.
this is so to give her a choice when she grows up. She will have to decide by 21 yrs old if she wants to keep or give up this citizenship. Hopefully by then SG allows Dual citizenships like NZ.
congrat!
