The departure immigration endorsement or stamp of departure will no longer be required upon departure.
On a post on it’s website, the Immigration and Checkpoins Authority (ICA) stated that this initiative is part of its ongoing efforts to “streamline procedures at the checkpoints and facilitate more efficient departure immigration clearance.”

“Previously, all foreigners departing Singapore would have their passports stamped with the date of their departure by the immigration officer at the manned counters,” the notice went on. “Since September 2016, foreign travellers whose fingerprints have been enrolled via the BioScreen system upon their arrival into Singapore are eligible to use automated lanes when they leave Singapore. They do not receive departure immigration endorsements when they use the automated lanes.”
