I got an offer month back in SG, they applied EP on 1 Oct 2015, on 5th Oct it was rejected.
After checking with employer came to know that they forgot to mention salary in jobs bank , Effective Oct 1, 2015 MoM had put up that rule.
So they published those details and waited for two weeks, re-appealed on 20th October, 2015 and got approved in 3 days.
So happy to share this news.

For Employment Pass applications filed from 1 October 2015, the accompanying advertisements must include published salary ranges.
From 1 October 2015, MOM will also require the company to submit more information when applying for an EP, to assess whether Singaporeans were considered fairly. This includes information on:
The number of applications submitted by Singaporeans,
Whether Singaporeans were interviewed for the vacancy,
The firm’s current share of Singaporeans in PME positions.
Unresponsive companies may have their work pass privileges curtailed.
