As for taking your fATPL, I would suggest you to look towards MFA or other fly schools in the region. STATA provides CASA licenses, which conversion to a CAAS license might pose certain problems for green pilots. MFA is the cheaper and better alternative at a price tag of 80 -100k depending on individual skills. STATA starts from 80kUSD. SFC starts from 140k SGD.

financially you must be stable prior to joining a flight school for fatpl. if your planning to loan, do consider carefully as interest for schools such as MFA is about 5%/yr in currently.
I just came across this.

I am sorry to say, MFA is nothing now.

CAAS will not considered those freshies out from MFA anymore for licence conversion.

MFA graduates must do full CAAS fATPL course (I mean starting from cold raw sratch, starting from "zero") if they are sponsored by the local airline. Hum...it will be back to square one.

Infact, freshies holding DCA Malaysia licence "tidak pakai" anymore. Singaporeans in Malaysian flying schools might be stuck with licensing issue if they were to return.

Singaporeans know how to fight for housing, changing of water-tanks, crowded MRT, ERP, CPF, Orchard flood, dual education languages and etc.... What about airmen licensing issue?
