According to the Singapore Constitution 134, 135; the SG govt MAY strip you of your Singapore citizenship if you possess a foreign passport/citizenship. There is no mention of any other penalty apart from the above. On this basis, it is clear that SINGAPORE does not allow dual citizenship for those who are no longer minors and it would be ILLOGICAL to continue having article 134, 135 above.
For those minors who have emigrated and deferred NS till age 21 would have to serve NS if they wish to retain their SG citizenship and have to renounce their foreign citizenship.
HOWEVER; having 2 passports or citizenships and lying about it (making false declarations) may result in criminal charges being laid which can result in jail or fines or both!
The embarkation cards may contain a section where one has to state if one has travelled on any other passports (obviously asking about dual citizenship)
My own foreign passport (NZ) states my country of birth as SINGAPORE, FULL NAME and DATE OF BIRTH. Unless one goes to the extreme of changing one's name, it would NOT BE difficult for the ICA online database for them to find out.
