Greetings Brethren, I’m on a spree to know about citizenship privileges for expats. About;
1. Singapore-born children of absolute expats( both parents)
2. Singapore-born children of one-sided expat( one parent is a Singaporean)
3. Marriage to a Singaporean
4. Marriage to a PR holder
5. Citizenship privileges  of a PR holder and PR holder’s child (born outside Singapore)
6. Citizenship/general limitations of a PR holder

Brethren 💕

According to my dictionary, this word is an archaic plural of "brother" and only used to denominate obscure (mostly religious or mystic) organisations. What do you mean here?

I assume, in the following, that you are asking about becoming Singapore citizen under the constellations you mention:

Kids of foreigners do not get Singapore citizenship, even if born in Singapore. They remain citizens of their parents home country/ies. PR can be applied for them if they stay in Singapore.

Kids born with one Singaporean parent are automatically citizens if born in Singapore (and double citizenship is accepted until they are 21 years old). For those born abroad, Singapore citizenship can be applied for.

No privileges, but PR and eventually naturalization can be faster (only a few years each).

No privileges.

No privileges, but PR and citizenship is granted faster if a whole family (especially with male child) applies.

No privileges. Several years (usually 5) of being PR is the usual precondition for naturalization.
