Seen quite many sarawakian flying to SG for work, some as young as 18 years old. There are pros and cons with whichever path u undertake.
I'll say do think and discuss thoroughly with your wife to be on your future together. Either go for PR and settle down at singapore or earn as much as possible in a period of time then come back to M'sia to settle down and set up a business.
Since both of you and your wife to be is still young(20s), do hold that thought of having a baby until u have decided where u plan to settle down. Having a baby but without both parent to take care will have impact on the child's upbringing and in most cases negatively. Not to mention our parents are getting old and taking care of a baby is far from being easy so do be considerate to your own parent.

Having a child in your early 20's in SG will be a very challenging road.
What field are both of u working in? Is there a potential that both of u would earn more in the future? If both of u go back Sarawak, are u going to find a same field job or start a business? Will the income be sufficient?
I was going to get PR, wanted to earn the extra 17%.
But with the current change in government, not sure what will happen in future, so I will reconsider the idea for now.
Working in engineering field, MNC, I guess increment still average (less % than Malaysia) but it should be fine if only to keep us alive

So I concluded that only few options.
1. Fight until ~30y/o, go back Malaysia, get a child.
2. Get PR, live in SG frugally.
3. Fight until ~45y/o, go back Malaysia, no child for rest of life.
4. Ask partner stay until ~30y/o, then she go back Malaysia to raise the child. I fight alone until ~45y/o, then go back Malaysia.
