Ok maybe i forgot to mention that foreigners if on 'local' terms like u say may have a chance, but for a F/o without housing at least, would be real hard to survive in Sin and yes i meant expatriate terms, i didn't mean it as a racial discrimination or anything pls don't get me wrong. There have been instances of foreigners getting command, but how many really, and reality is many of the local f/o's at cargo and mainline left for other Airlines cos command would have taken them so long and some of them made it on the left seat way sooner at those Airlines. Maybe it has changed since the time i was a there a few years back. And if its command ur after, go to tiger if u have bus time, or middle east, etihad maybe, better chances.
