In Singapore, you should NEVER exit the country and return to get a longer stay!

If you cannot get an extension from ICA (or, in your case, MoM), you must return to your country (preferably) for a LONGER period. (There is no 5 days rule - in fact, no fixed rule at all - but after a 30-days-STVP you are probably safe after 30 days abroad.)
