Might want to head down to city hall mrt, theres a small little citbank brank there that helped me open one with just the IPA, might want to try that option.
I am pretty sure the same will hold good for other MNC banks like HSBC or Stan Chart.
OCBC did allow, as long as your pay the opening balance amount
POSB allowed before, with just 500$ as long as you say the account is for salary payment !
