Any singaporean applicants here? I just want some advice on how to fill up the background declaration form. I was working in Singapore, but during this time I had day trips to shop in nearby Johor Bahru Malaysia, not just once but a few times in the course of my employment. I just spent a few hours in Johor and then went back to Singapore (as they're just connected by a bridge). Should I include this in the declaration? Every single day that I crossed to Malaysia, or no need?

I'm not from Singapore, so I don't know about your particular case, but it was similar for me - lived in Sweden, worked in Denmark, crossing every day :)
What I did is: explain the facts. You could probably do the same. Put that you have been going to Malaysia on the form, then attach a blank page and explain that for work, several times, you have taken day trip to so and so, from that date to that date. State that because it was only day trips, you do not remember all of them, etc.
Good luck,
Sweden

I would certainly include it
