I'd just put the one I'm heading once I clear immigration

Edit: @roz_sid
You've only 1 day. If you tell the immigration officer that you're going to all 3 (big) malls within those few hours, he might be wondering what you're up to.

Not any manual counter.
The e-gate registration counter that sits in the section containing the e-gates.

Went in yesterday. Better than I expected. News was about JB counter closures but what I saw was SG custom middle lanes a few closed instead LOL. Spent longer time queuing to exit SG rather than enter MY via e gates.

same for return to SG, not much holdup at MY side. No jam cause bus lane too.

as for the postal code, I entered 000000 also no issues.

Fri 730-45 am there was a lack of gates and manpower at the SG exit side. All the nice and new gates on the right side, but closed. Everyone herded to the usual left side.

Topic- Challenges Faced by Former Malaysians in Accessing E Gate Services After Naturalization in Singapore

In a disheartening turn of events during my recent attempt to register for E-Gate services, I found myself grappling with an unexpected hurdle that left me both perplexed and frustrated. Having renounced my Malaysian citizenship 20 years ago and embraced my new identity as a Singaporean, I believed the process would be seamless. Little did I anticipate the complications that ensued.

The root of the issue lies in a deed poll I underwent a few years ago, aiming to incorporate my Christian name into my Singapore NRIC and Passport. When I approached the immigration counter with the hope of enjoying the convenience of E-Gate, I was informed by a lady officer that my registration couldn't be confirmed due to a discrepancy in my name records.

According to her, the system displayed my name without the Christian addition, rendering me ineligible for E-Gate usage. Frustratingly, she couldn't propose a viable solution beyond directing me to the manual counter, where I would endure another tedious 1-hour plus wait.

The inadequacy of the system to reflect my updated information became glaringly apparent, leaving me with lingering questions about the efficiency of the processes in place. I am left wondering why a straightforward update to the system couldn't be implemented to prevent such inconveniences for individuals like myself who have undergone legitimate changes.

This experience prompts a call for a more responsive and adaptive system, ensuring that the transition for former Malaysians like me is not marred by unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles. It is my hope that sharing this encounter sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals navigating these processes and prompts a re-evaluation of the system's responsiveness to the evolving identities of Singapore's diverse citizenry.

I am not the only one and will not be the last .. I hear many other silly reasons for rejection.

As always, Malaysia still giving problems even to ex-citizens.
Nothing unexpected with how things work over there.
Tough luck that even after renouncing citizenship and you have to endure such inconveniences.

What has it got to do with Singapore's diverse citizenry. It only affects singularly ex-malaysian.
