I just clarified some things with SC over the phone.
Indeed, minimum age to open a trading account is 21. The SGX online quiz is totally unnecessary according to them. What is most important is the CAR, of which you have to pass at least 1 criteria in order for successful opening of your trading account. Even if any 1 criteria is met, whether your account is to be opened or not is still subject to their consideration.
To be honest, their customer service wasn't very good. I called twice. First time I called, a woman told me there is no minimum age for opening an account, contrary to what I read here, so I called again and another customer servicer told me that indeed the minimum age is 21.
Hope this has helped.

You must be a legal resident of the place where you open the Securities Settlement Account and 21 years of age or over.
