I will be bringing that up with my parents once the time comes, but thanks for your concern!

Good luck with talking to them. I'm not in any position to advise you, so take this with a grain of salt, but perhaps it might help if you offered some compromise or understanding of their position.

I mean, I get why they might be concerned you're not studying, because I sure as hell know that when I was in secondary school, I didn't study anywhere near as much as my parents wanted. But there's gotta be some reasonable middle ground here, like maybe you could do some studying in a common area of your home (which might be monitored) or you could leave the door open when doing work (and your parents are physically home to check). Or if they refuse to back down on the cameras being there, maybe say you have the right to cover the cameras when you're getting changed, sleeping, or maybe only turn them on when you're actively supposed to be studying and only if your parents aren't home. I don't know, there's gotta be something.

Having cameras in your bedroom is crossing some awkward lines and it's reasonable to feel uncomfortable about the privacy/trust issues there. EDIT: a lot of posters in this thread are going on about laws and human rights stuff, but I don't think your parents are breaking any laws in Singapore. It's legal for them to install cameras with the justification of home security or checking on kids if they (your parents) are not at home. That avenue of discussion might piss off your parents. Might be better to say it's not about the letter of the law, it's about how uncomfortable this makes you feel.
