I have a savings of 10k, entering ns soon. Should I use part of the money to invest now or keep all 10k as emergency fund and only start investing with my ns income?

I intend to invest $200-300 monthly with my ns income into ETFs. Should I invest now or wait? Will 10k be too much for emergency funds? Cause I want to max out amount for Singlife to earn the maximum amount of interest. Would love to hear some suggestions.
