I guess it's time to create a new thread for discussing the "
PR approvals in 2020".
All the best for this New Year

Even though it wont affect much, write in to them and ask them to correct it.
Hi tried to check how to submit my request, but it says cannot ammend already once submitted
You must email them for such requests.
noted, thanks for the advise

You will be rejected with almost 100% certainty. Very few ever get approved unless you have worked in Singapore for a minimum of 24 months (2 years) BEFORE applying for PR. Unless you are a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist, that is. Good Luck. You are going to need it.
Really 100% certainty? I guess my hope is gone now..same situation too I applied after 6 months of payslip and now 11 months pending..is this consider 17 months already?

Roughly 18 months from applying. But you really need to have worked for 2 years BEFORE applying. You can disregard the so-called after 6 months unless, as I said, you are a rocket scientist or brain surgeon. And I didn't say, 100% certainty. I said almost 100% certainty.

Most of the things are ok except for salary on the slightly lower side. chance will be around 35-40%. Not more than that. Sorry to be blunt.
