As to ZSSS ILS Y 36L If I were parked in the hold at 3,940 and cleared for the approach, I would turn inbound in the hold immediately but not leave 3,940 for 2,960 until inbound on the JTN 181 radial or inbound on the ISH Localizer.
where you should be at 550m (1810) youre just setting yourself up for glideslope from above( youll be going around by the way) you have 2 miles to descend from 3940 to 1800 feet, Please read the chart- that seems an issue that youre dead set on complying with the MHA even though its going to cause you some BIG problems)
At JTN your altitude check is 1280 feet on the glideslope. inbound localiser established.
can you post the chart so at least the rest of audience can see what youre implying? I cant paste it - so its difficult to prove my point of view
