Doing NS as a PR does not guarantee you accelerated or any other kind of citizenship in Singapore. It DOES add points to your credit, but it, in of itself, does not guarantee it.
With the current backlash against PRC's you have every reason to be apprehensive about your application. Just keep your fingers crossed. You will probably continue to be "Pending" until such time as your NS active duty is completed.

SMS, I think he's referring to the Accelerated Citizenship scheme:

That I'm familiar with, but if you read the whole page, you will note that is does not indicate that it will be successful. It says you will be invited to apply and it will take 2 to 3 months processing, but it doesn't say you will obtain citizenship automatically. Hence my reply to the OP.
For the record, a male PR cannot get citizenship if he got his PR as a minor and has not done NS.
