The inner workings and point system that ICA uses is not open for public consumption so we can only guess based on anecdotal evidence we get from others. As far as being land owners, this is basically not a material fact. As to the weightage placed on siblings ages, it would seem, at first glance that it wouldn't be a problem, but again, as I've said, we do NOT know the method of point allocation they use, so it's all conjecture on our part.
As far as enclosing a explanatory letter, I couldn't begin to help there as almost anything you say will be held against you if you try to hurry them up. Think about it. If you say you are worried about your job.... Not good, why would they want to give PR to an unemployed man? If you want to buy an HDB
property? Die already, foreigners causing HDB prices to go up! What other reason would make any sense, from an ICA point of view. All your reasons would probably be about what YOU can get out of it. Not what the country can get out of it. Do I make any sense?
What I'm really trying to say it just let it ride. They will finish it when they finish it. Trying to hurry them up may just agitate them with adverse effect. Remember, they are Singaporeans who don't really like foreigners in the first place as they feel foreigners are what's wrong with Singapore. Don't make waves.
