I reckon it is going to be a long wait as there are too many if's at the moment. In fact, it's doubtful any PRs will be actually granted at the moment regardless of how long you have been waiting up to this point. If you think about it, it makes sense, considering the unemployment that is happening and the destruction of the economics of the island. At this point all here on some sort of work pass need to worry more about just keeping what they have. First to go will be the Foreign Worker (WP holders). Then if the covid continues, the WFH foreigners will be next (outsourcing - if you are a S or EP holder and are currently Working From Home, they are liable to be the next to go considering you can work from home in your own country, for a company here in Singapore. Finally, if the unemployment among Singaporeans goes high enough. I think the government will be more concerned about getting them re-employed, than bring in new PR / Citizens. So, no, I don't think you chances are particularly good at the moment. From a personal/family perspective aside from the usual problem with race here, I don't see anything untoward in your profile. Just timing.
However, as you are a gambling man, nothing ventured, nothing gained other than the loss of the application fee as long as you have the stomach for rejection. Good Luck
