1 st application in Dec 16. Rejected in 5 months.
I noticed that it is very hard for non-malaysian Chinese to obtain the PR within 2 years.
Since I am not studying in Singapore and no family member in Singapore, is it very hard to obtain it?
How can I improve the chance?
When should I re-apply?
Appreciate for advice & guidance!

Thank you very much!
Hi, I am also from HK working for bank. I also did not study in SG and had no relatives in SG. So, my profile is very similar to you, with the following difference :
1. I was 42 when I applied.
2. I am married with 2 kids (1 girl 1 boy).
3. My annual salary is higher than yours.
I arrived SG at Jun 2015, applied in Aug 2016, approved in Apr 2017. I only had 1 year of NOA. So it proves that there is still chance for approval with staying less than 2 years.
As others have rightly pointed out, your issue could be your "single" status. I think even Malaysian Chinese with similar background like you may get rejected.
