May I ask are there any factors which may cause one to fail the security clearance? For example, not singaporean born parent or relative in other countries?

Context: My dad and I are born in SG. My mum is born in China and converted over to Singapore citizen long ago. My immediate family members have a clean record. Relatives in China not working in Chinese government (worried if relatives in another countries influences my security clearance).

Since you can’t control the process which is already underway and it’s not public information, what you can control is your own conduct such as your daily activities, including things you post here Layman speaking

Furthermore, I heard if ur parents are not SG born, it lowers your chances of security clearance as well. So I am worried about how these factors may negatively affect my security clearance
My mum is Malaysian born and converted to Singaporean since I was born.
I’m cat 1A cleared. So I’m sure you’re be fine.
