Both things you can do to improve your chances in Singapore are out of your control.

1. Change race
2. Change spouse to a local, preferably of the favored race.

If I were you, I'd be working on plan B which would be another country.

I concur with this. Ive been following this thread for quite few years now. And race and nationality is a big factor in getting PR here unlike other countries such as Australia, NZ and Canada which got point system.

Having said that, the government here is upfront about race being a major factor in the immigration policy. As far as they can sustain it, they have outright said, that immigration will be used to maintain the current racial demographics in Singapore and those percentages have been published for 20 years at least. Fair? No. But it's their country and if you want to stay here you know what you are up against before you apply.

And therefore the suggestion to not put all eggs in this basket. It has to be both ways. If there is a high chance of not being approved because of the said policy, then potential applicants should also keep their options open and not waste precious time chasing after something that is nearly impossible to get.

Very well put, it’s an unfortunate fact for some, but it is what it is.

Not fair but it has worked for ages and we’ve all kept the peace so I guess it will continue.

However, with the high number of Singaporean marriages to non-Singaporeans (many of which are non-CMI races), I think the traditional mindset around race will have to evolve. I think they may have added the double-barreled race for this reason. In a few generations you might even see the majority here are mixed race. I should think it a good thing.

And you can bet LKY is turning over (more like spinning) in his grave. He was always against blending of the races. It wasn't until he could see his vision wasn't going to sustain itself as more and more were marrying outside of their race, that he accepted it was inevitable. Here's another of my anecdotal stories from my long history here. As most here know, I used to be a parttime actor with SBC/TCS/MediaCorp for 18 years from 1988 to 2006. I started the same year that the queen of Caldecott Hill started after she won Talentine that year. In fact the first series I acting in was with her. I subsequently acted with almost all the the best known local TV personalities. Anyway, In one series I did, I was a US businessman who was marrying a local Chinese girl. (this was early days when it was still SBC and under a Statutory Board. Everything had to be vetted by the Stat Board for content to ensure it only promoted what the government/PM wanted. In the original script we were to be married here in Singapore (but it was changed due to the PM's aversion to mixed marriages and the dilution of the Chinese Race) So they allowed the marriage as it was instrumental to the storyline, but instead of marrying in Singapore, the marriage took place on my series farm in the US. And we're living in the US but only visiting Singapore - she was still Singaporean but no longer was 'living' here so therefore the country/PM could care less about it. This is a true recounting and not a fabrication.

There was another series where I was shot and killed by Zoe Tay (she was a cop in a police drama. The series was originally set in Singapore, but the Stat Board made them change the name of the city to a different name because of the violence in the series, the Stat Board was afraid it might give regional viewers the wrong impression and then they might not come to visit and spend their money here.

I would say much of that mindset persists to today.

I was happy that at my daughter’s secondary school, despite being a SAP school (99.9% Chinese race students), she was able to fit in and felt like she belonged, despite being in the 0.1%. Although some had doubts whether she could cope with higher level of Chinese… she scored an A in the end.

Participation in GRC - No add point. As it has been heavily abuse by those who-want-to-get-PR.
Donation - No add point. If you want to use that to add point to your application. Donation is come from your willing to help other; not how it will help to get-PR
Investment - that's your own money and investment. No add point.
Health insurance - That's for your own family. No add point
