Reject or not... I'm sure there's a formula with many variables which get influenced by policies, events, timing, quota, etc. So that sometimes transform to heng-suay...

One factor I think most will agree is the "economic contribution" of whoever staying or coming to Sg (not just contributing in terms of $$$). The e.g. of having a baby here is align with what the country need now, maybe may not work back in the days where 2 is enuff. And the women charter will support the need for the mom to be with the kid, and so it make sense approval will be granted to the mom/wife to be here.

Tourist/Social Visit? OK spend money in Sg, but the easiest to abuse.
Student pass? Too easy to be abused as an excuse to be here.
EntrePass? A lit-bit harder but still can be fake.
Getting Married? Can also be fake...
Make babies? Say for the army... How to fake it?
Well-educated professional? Hard to fake. Sure contribute to some policies here relating to manpower/talent.
Olympic games material? Can get citizenship in weeks
etc...
