Hi guys! I need your help. I am going to KL this December to have a little vacation there. I am just afraid if all the money I saved just for this trip will be lost if the immigration thinks I am some sorta prosti***e coz I will just be travelling alone and I am a filipina. I heard they are strict when it comes to filipina going there. Can you help me as to what to do? Are they really that strict?

Yes  they are and even if you go to Singapore alone that's what they think.
Very hard to give advice on this.

If you are coming for a realistic holiday eg max 2 weeks just bring proof of your job back home (if you are bringing lots of money I presume you are employed in a good job). bank statements showing salary in would be a good idea as well. Basically proof you are employed and earnt the money properly and are legit/have money to spend not looking for illegal work. That would good to show immigration if queried

Also never a good idea to have cash. Credit carsd? Maybe a prepaid MasterCard for some cash?

Just show your hotel booking for all nights +return ticket if they question you. Since it's just a "small vacation" (interpret that as short) I guess you already settled such things?
