Since my second son is born here, and US citizen by birth we are maintaining his status for now since it is difficult to get US citizenship and let him decide for himself when he is older.
He can still keep US passport til 21 then decide:

If this is to avoid NS obligations, I'm sure you know that isn't a good idea, and may affect your own application.
Right, and it's also worth noting that the process to get out of serving NS must be started well ahead of time.

Thank you all for your comments. More info about our family. We are Indians, and we have lot of relatives, my parents, my in-laws, my brother's family all in Singapore. Initially it was just for short time because of my husband work but it is getting extended. I have extended my PR 2 times after coming overseas, and we usually visit once every 2 years for 5 weeks.
Since my second son is born here, and US citizen by birth we are maintaining his status for now since it is difficult to get US citizenship and let him decide for himself when he is older. But definitely when my first son is about to enter NS we want to come back to SG for good which is in 4 years' time, and during pandemic we found it very difficult to travel with 3 different passports and following the regulations for each country that's why I decided to apply for Singapore Citizenship for myself last year. Hoping for the best. Thank you all for your time.
The real question here is what you plan to do about your second son. If you don't apply for citizenship or at least PR for him, you'll be looking real bad.
If she apply PR for the 2nd son. It will not look good neither.

My 2c is that your nationality and your spouse's ex nationality (Indian? ) is going to add on to the negative factors that SMS mentioned and they will probably deny you. Too many Indians who are trying their luck in as many places as possible. It's of course natural to do that - can you say kiasu.... But it's not really what the ICA likes to see in bold letters.

Well PRs still need to serve NS.
