Dumb question, but is it possible to open an SG CIMB Bank account while I'm still here in Malaysia?
Yes, As long as you have a singpass account, you can do it online and transfer $1k to the account number generated.

Find a friend or colleague who's willing to "loan his address". Explain to them it's just mailing purpose. Once you got your PR and done your NRIC, after 2 -3 months, change the address to your Malaysia address by emailing ICA NRIC dept.
Also please inform your friend before hand the consequences. When you put your IC address to their address, Your income will automatically be included in their "household" income. If they are getting some perks from the gov, it might breach the income ceiling and their tongkat might be taken back by the gov.
