(She sent me photo of her friend's entry refusal note.)
Is this an isolated incident or a wide spread thing due to change of entry criteria for Vietnamese nationals? Anyone known of similar incidents or have info to share? Thanks.
(If this is due to new immigration policies, how come I am still seeing a lot of VBs in pubs and KTVs. Further, these girls come stay here for at least a month while the lady above only comes for a few days. What shall I advise my friend?)

Not that i know of. People who are coming in for business or leisure should not have problem at ICA.
Your details are not sufficient to understand situation. Things ICA would ask is reason for visit, where you are staying, how much money are you carrying and do you have a return ticket? If vb are not able to answer any of the above questions to a satisfactory level, 99% would be turn back.
E.g. if a tourist is coming to singapore for 4 days, has only $100 sg no credit cards no hotel address, do you think ICA would believe?
And lastly the most famous rejection reason is ICA is not bound to share details of rejection of entry to singapore.
I could be wrong; but this had been my observations from working in the airport and travel industry previously.
