You should answer Yes.



Even if you hadn't spelled your name differently, because you used a different passport you would have to answer 'yes'. You should explain the circumstances fully.



Even if the name change was the only issue it would be better to answer 'yes'. The authorities are likely to look at the issue and treat it as a trivial matter. However if you don't tell them they may think you have something to hide, and technically you would have lied on an official form.



It is almost always better to put information on an official form if you are in doubt.



And to an organization that largely deals with written records, a change of spelling will be considered a change of name.

  • There is no suggestion in the question that the asker wishes to wage war against Singapore, commit treason there, commit piracy or mutiny, murder anyone or commit genocide, kidnap anyone, help a minor or insane person commit suicide, commit perjury that causes an innocent person to be executed, get sent to jail for life and then attempt to murder somebody, commit firearms offences, or possess firearms, ammunition or explosives in a designated security area, so the death penalty really isn't on the cards. And I think they're just confused about what the question means, not trying to lie.

  • I'm just saying that within a country where the death penalty is still a thing probably other penalties are way more severe and lying to the authorities about your passport/visa would result in banning you from entering the country and probably some big fine. I do not understand the downvotes on my answer, to be honest - do you not agree lying to the authorities is a bad idea? Even if not intentional.
