possible next step after IPA expiration and SP re-application

hi.

i'm a foreigner who applied to an internal singapore job opening in our company.

i passed so the singapore-side HR applied for S Pass.

i received my S Pass IPA last august.

i arrived in singapore 2 weeks ago on short term visit pass with the goals of doing the medical exam for S Pass and looking for a place to rent.

during my first day of work in the company, HR called me to say that they could not get the S Pass issued due to expiration of my IPA. HR advised me to go home (to my apartment here in SG) while the S Pass reapplication is still in process.

i applied to extend my short term visit pass just in case the S Pass application process will take more than 10 days. the short term visit pass extension was thankfully approved.

however, i'm very worried about my situation here in SG because i have not received yet my relocation allowance (it will be given during first pay day) and money is starting to run low.

i'm not sure when will i get the result of my S Pass reapplication.

since my first S Pass application (the one where I got my first S Pass IPA) was approved in principle, do you think it is highly likely that the S Pass reapplication will be approved as well?

also, i'm starting to lose trust in my current company because they were not able to monitor my IPA expiration date and failed to apply for IPA extension.

if you were in my shoes, would you consider applying to other companies here while waiting for the S Pass reapplication result?

hoping to get some insights.

thank you in advance to those who will reply.
