Currently, I don't think even 1 year would stand much chance of getting approved, let alone 6 months. You should have a look at the Singapore Expat forum to get an idea of the current situation, I reckon they have a fairly good discussion forum on PR-related matter.

Your wife is prolly under the spouse sponsored scheme, which is pretty much a different category.

The general trend seems to be so, but gone are the days where people can get their PR within the first year of staying here, even for Msian Chinese I feel. Preferred yes, but not everyone who applies will get it. I have seen friends who got rejected because they applied too soon. I got mine previously after my first EP renewal, which was after a 2 years stay.

And the above, is simply assuming that everyone here is Msian Chinese.

Butthurt? Not me, why would I be, are you? I was replying to someone's specific question, you put that statement in reply to me, so I assume you are replying to that person as well? And by saying that, you are assuming the person I was referring to is MC.

If you think no generalizations were made, then so it be lor.
