Technically speaking, to my knowledge, there is almost NO chance to convert this driving license to Singapore one at any time, even after 10 years, unless they change the rules. You cannot change the initial issuing date of a driving license. It is not applicable to your case. You are a Chinese citizen not a foreigner in China which is the issuing country , and therefore you are a legal resident in China at all times.
So, this restriction does not apply to your Chinese driving license. But it applies to your driving license issued by countries other than China. For example, if you got a UK driving license during a 3-month exchange program when you were studying in China not in Singapore , then this 6-month restriction may disqualify the conversion.

Hello, I have a few questions for converting my license: 1. My German driver license is on my maiden name but I just recently got married and have a new last name now. My passport shows my maiden name and my new name. In Germany it is not required to request a new license with the change of name. To convert my license in Singapore: do I need to get a new German driver license first or will the traffic police accept and understand that I changed my name due to marriage and still convert my license?
For Q1, if you can provide supporting documents that can prove the name change, I guess you can try. For Q2, no, the car license can not be used for driving motorcycles. You need a separate motorcycle driving license class 2B for up to cc. Class 3 3A driving license is licensed for driving vehicles of class 3 3A only, which do not include motorcycles.
