A Singapore visa only lets you travel to the border. How long you can actually stay is decided by the immigration officer when you arrive.

Show official text
“A Singapore entry visa is not an immigration pass. It is a pre-entry permission for the holder of a valid visa to travel to, and seek entry, into Singapore. The grant of an immigration pass will be determined by the ICA officers at the point of entry. The period of stay granted is not tied to the validity of your visa.”
