Where is your girlfriend from? Thailand? Or the Philippines?
If either of the above, she may well have been here before on a different passport and has been recognized by Singapore's Photo recognition software as she came through immgration. Once confirmed that she had used a different passport.....Wham!

She is from Malaysia.Never use different passport or name.ICA Issue her a refuse entry form stating "No eligable to issue pass under current immigration rules" at the woodland custom.

So I guess the obvious question is...........
What is she doing with all the time she seems to be spending in Singapore if she's obviously not a student nor working nor married to a Singaporean?
Is her health card current?

Moi? Subtle? Rarely, but occasionally.
Methinks there's more to this than meets the eye. Purveyor springs to mind.

Why don't you seek help from your Member of Parliament? I'm told Singaporeans do that all the time.
