If your take home pay is $1.5k, is it ideal to save 60% of your take home pay?

I save for about $1k for every month, I have 3 sets of accounts with POSB/DBS.

Savings account - DAILY SPENDINGS
POSB SAYE - During savings for ns but ord already should I close it?
DBS REMIX ACCOUNT - EMERGENCY FUND ACCUMULATED $18K, should I close and open up a new account? Have it more that 2-3years.

My main 2019 goal is to make $12k savings for the year end. But how do I be realistic to make it grow?
