I used my business partner's home address (a rented semi-D) when I first moved over to Singapore. No issues. OK, it was 20 years ago but who's counting?

Unfortunately, it was rejected stating that an EP holder cannot be a partner or general proprietor of any organisation, which was surprising given that apart from my job for which I had an EP, I wasn't aware of working as a partner or sole proprietor anywhere else.
However, I had invested in a venture capital fund in Singapore, which was structured as a Limited Partnership. A Limited Partnership has a General Partner (GP), who is responsible for the operation of the fund and various Limited Partners (LPs), who are passive investors - and have no responsibility towards the running of the fund (like shareholders in a company). I was a LP here, a passive financial investor with no role in managing or operating the fund.
I didn't realise this would be a blocking factor for an EP, given that EP holders are permitted to be shareholders of companies other than the ones employing them, provided they don't have any operational / .....
