Then the ICA officer turned to me, looked at her, then asked her if we came together. I told him yes, and showed him both our tickets (seated together). Then he suddenly brightened up and said "Oh, i'm so sorry... didn't mean to frighten her." He then apologized to my bx for making her so uncomfortable, then stamped her passport and attended to me.
I think they are just worried about the "solo" girls that come here by themselves because their motives are questionable. If they come to Singapore with someone in tow, no problems at all in my opinion.

Hey bro, thanks for sharing such info here, I am sure it will benefit a lot of bro there and save them a lot of trouble, time and money as well.
About your point if the ICA officer realising that you came with ur BX and not that she arrive alone, ICA officer now have no rights to decide and stamp the passport anymore.. the screen of their computers will actually flash "Send to Counter" message and someone else at the counter will have to take over from there. This is accurate as of just last week. So brothers, standby company letter or S$2,000 in the wallet of BX is definitely required.
On your notes about being stopped at Hanoi airport... its much better if both of you check in seperately instead of appearing too obvious to check in as couples. In the north, many reports in the media about girls being "sold" to Taiwan and China so the authorities there frown when they see their pretty girls holding foreigner's hands. I always tells my BX in the North to say that she going for tour or visit relative if Custom in Hanoi airport should ask. If Custom suspect anything funny to do with foreigner, they could take your details and hers as well and investigate further when you and/or her return . That is bad!
