Did you know that you're supposed to apply with 3 years' of tax assessments?
And where are you from? Nationality is just as important.
If you're applying like this, you're gonna get a big fat no, unless ICA wants to pull an early Christmas.

Also, have you been studying all those 6 years in Singapore, or doing something else?

Just trying my luck and hoping for the best.
The reason I applied this early is because Singapore Election is coming and hence if i wait for 6 months or more it might fall within the election period, I think my chances of getting P.R. will be quite low considering the recent policy.
Therefore I applied earlier so if I get my P.R, Thank God.
If not, then reapply again..lolz

1. You're wrong. Singapore election is all the more reason the government will give less PRs and SCs to foreigners to appease the electorate. They have been doing it for quite some time. Have you seen the stats on PR and SC awarded for the past 2 years, compared to 2006-2009?
2. Repetitive applications without substantial improvement in each attempt will just be futile. There is such thing called spam in ICA.
You are Malaysian Chinese. Applying later will not hurt your chances. In fact it will improve your chances tremendously compared to now.

Not true.I applied with one and was approved.
3 years of tax assessments is recommended but not essential.
You're worlds better than this dude. He's trying to pull off with one month.
