doesnt matter where the boarding pass is issued. Did it last month. You just
go through immigration and security as normal except you dont have to check
in.



Easy to believe. How do you "double check". Your file already resides in
the database. Changes to it are hardly generated at any airport just
because you have been outside the transit area. How does the personnel
at counters know whether you have been out or not. Tiotsiiva's friends
at the passport control escort you there?

You can have your baggage go straight to your next destination.


That was then, this is now, as they say.

If you exit immigration then check back in, they will double check
your boarding pass (it would clearly not be issued in Singapore). If
they notice that you left bags in transit while you left the airport,
they will stop you and question you.



No taxes or
fees to pay. No departure tax either. i have done it many times. Get the
MRT
to the city, dinner with friends and return on the MRT. You can leave the
carry on with left luggage. Its quite cheap.

As I recall, when you take the free tour you remain in customs
"quarantine"
and no formalities or airport fees are incurred. If you leave by
yourself,
I suspect you may incur a departure fee when you return.

The tour will kill a few hours. But as others have stated, there are
enough
[shopping/eating/movie] activies at the airport to keep you busy for 6
hours. Possibly even some free internet terminals.
